March will be a month of introspection as the Island of the Gods will welcome the New Year celebration of the Çaka year 1933. In contrast with the traditional New Year celebration, Bali celebrates this day in silence. Nyepi day is a truly unique experience as the island ceases all activities - including transportation and the use of electricity. To capture the core essence of the day, this year the government even issued a new regulation to stop any television broadcasts for 24 hours, thus, you will get to experience the actual feel of this celebration.
Along with this unique day, we wish to invite you to experience the beautiful harmony at Nikko Bali Resort and Spa with an array of activities and promotions. Continuing our effort to stay authentic, we are celebrating the cherry blossom season of Japan by presenting the "Seasons of Sakura" promotion at Benkay Japanese Restaurant from March 25 to April 3. This is a traditional Japanese ceremony and we're bringing it to the island.
But we haven't forgotten about Bali either. Nikko Baliâ?Ts signature event, "Kampoeng Bali" (Bali Village) will still be there to bring you the daily life of the island through its art, tradition and culinary. Our associates will be more than glad to show you how to prepare an offering, carve fruits and vegetables, learn the language and cook the snacks at the cozy open air setting of the beach front garden. Traditional dance shows will be held at Kupu Kupu Amphitheater and under the stars at Taman Sari, witness the harmony of movements and sounds and taste the authentic Balinese cuisine prepared by our staff.
So the month of March will be all about traditions and celebration; and we can't wait to welcome you to experience this only at Nikko Bali Resort and Spa. Why choose the ordinary?
With warmest regards,
Jean-Charles Le Coz

A GREEN ACHIEVEMENT
Nikko Bali Resort and Spa receives the prestigious "Eco Hotel" certification
February 2011 - Nusa Dua, Bali With current issues of global warming, waste management and saving energy, it is no wonder that a large organization like Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has decided to do its part for a better future - for life and for the organization itself.
Throughout 2010, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has invested in many environmental programs, new facilities and policies, as well as creating a campaign called "Nikko Bali Goes Green". Two turtle releases were done from nests found on the beach of the resort, continuous cleaning campaigns on the beach and surrounding area involving the local community; a local organization and internal campaigns to its associates to preserve energy and minimizing waste. Nikko Bali Resort and Spa also recently created a unique twist to the regular holiday hampers by creating an environmentally friendly gift for its partners using bio degradable materials and organic products.
Recently, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa went through an audit process in regards to these environmental policies and programs by TUV Rheinland (www.tuv.com) to achieve the ECO HOTEL certification. The ECO HOTEL is a certification specially developed for the hotel that has taken measures to be environmentally friendly and minimizing its impact on the environment. Based on the audit result, Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has tremendously excelled in environmental activities, energy saving and safety issues. And within the next few days, TUV Rheinland, represented by the top management staffs of the company, is planned to officially announce the result and present the ECO HOTEL certificate to Nikko Bali Resort and Spa.
Along with this prestigious award, in 2010 Nikko Bali Resort and Spa has also received the ASEAN Green Hotel Standard award for the second time.
Happy New year 2011
