Club Med, the leading pioneer of premium all-inclusive holidays is back with the second edition of their successful ‘Eat, Play, Renew’ programme, which features unique traditions and cultures of the beautiful island of Bali that will put families at ease and at peace through Club Med Bali’s specially curated activities. The programme will run from 8 to 29 October 2019. “Nestled within all the beauty and rich heritage that Bali has to offer, Club Med Bali is the perfect place for guests to relax and recharge.” says Xavier Desaulles, CEO of Club Med APAC. “With our Eat, Play, Renew programme, we hope to give our guests a well-deserved break through a curated line-up of activities that will help them get back in touch with themselves and the world around them.”

Eat – Feast on Balinese and international delights

Begin your holistic journey by adding some Balinese dishes to your cooking repertoire, such as Balinese Chicken Curry or Red Snapper Fillet cooked in Pepes. A simple step-by-step demonstration by our chef will have you cooking up a storm in no time. For those looking to continue working with their hands, the traditional Balinese fruit carving workshop led by the Mertarauh Bali team is perfect for you! The art of fruit carving is described as an ancient art in Bali and participants can express their creativity with a variety of fruits.

Available all-year long, guests can feast on a wide selection of sumptuous dishes from the Balinese culinary scene, as well as partake in an international array of dishes to fulfil their culinary desires. The Balinese Coffee & Tea workshop allows guests to discover a new appreciation for their favorite morning beverage, grown by local Balinese farmers. Taste and smell the fresh aroma of the coffee beans and tea leaves, while deepening your understanding of how they are harvested and sourced.

Play – Play to your heart’s content in sunny Bali

Four culturally-rich and fun activities are also created especially for Club Med’s Eat, Play, Renew programme. Presented by Kita Art Community, guests can get into the swing of things with Balinese Koreo Dance classes and immerse themselves in this ancient dance tradition that is part of the religious and artistic expression among the Balinese people. The dancers apply special techniques in the dance through bodily poses, eyes and hand gestures. A trip to Bali is not complete without witnessing the spectacular fire dance also known as the Tari Kecak. The enchanting traditional Balinese performance narrates the story of prince Rama on a journey to rescue his wife, Sita from king Ravana. Tari Kecak is also unique as no musical instruments are used other than the acapella from dozens of dancers chanting ‘Ke-Chak’ rhythmically.

Selfie lovers can rejoice with Djunaidi Kenyut of Cata Odata’s ‘I Love Me Selfie Project’ available at Club Med Bali. Participants can take their selfie game to the next level by tracing their face on a mirror and drawing a selfie using a permanent marker and engraving technique. It’s the perfect souvenir to bring back home to showcase to friends and family. Guests can also try their hand out at tie dye at a Tie Dye workshop to create one-a-kind patterns for unique beachwear perfect for lounging around the beaches of Bali.

Readily available for guests to enjoy at the resort are also a plethora of Club Med’s signature activities, such as the soaring heights of the Flying Trapeze by the beach – dare yourself to have a try. For those looking to immerse themselves in the island’s beautiful setting, nothing compares to the excursions to discover the scenic rice terraces of Bali. For the more adventurous, a trek up Mount Batur to catch the sunrise or, for lovers of marine life, a dive into the world of Jemulak Bay will create some unforgettable memories.

Be sure to catch a picture at the highly instagrammable spot, a swing by the sea in an authentic testimonial of Balinese tradition. Club Med Bali is also ideal location for families, offering a selection of tailored experiences for children and teens, to ensure that they too get an unforgettable holiday experience.
