Da Maria Experience

FOOD + DRINKS + SOUNDS EVERY NIGHT  

Having developed their character over the first six months of trade and finding its Italian expression on the island of the gods, Da Maria Bali has now formed its identity as a multi-faceted venue with something to offer locals, expats and tourists alike.  

The brainchild of Maurice Terzini and Adrian Reed has now cemented its’ place in the heart of Petitenget. Families and children have always played an important role in the culture of Da Maria with the philosophy that they can cater to anyone from 8 to 80. Da Maria encourages kids to make their own pizzas in true topolino club style, while parents sit back relax with for an early meal.  

Da Maria extends its’ music program from 7pm every night with DJs with the understanding that every night is a Friday night in Bali. Apperitivo hour in the courtyard offers the perfect pre-dinner experience with a backdrop of jazz, funk and disco to get you moving into dinner.  

Traditional Italian apperitivo derives from the concept of opening ones’ palate in an environment in which participants socialize, relax and snack as dinner approaches, unlike the commonly known Americanized interpretation of “happy hour”. Da Maria embraces this tradition in their outdoor courtyard offering classic apperitivo such as Aperol Spritz, Negronis and Americanos which are paired with Arancini Di Risso and newly added Baccala crostini with olives, fennel and extra virgin olive oil.   Move from the courtyard into one of two of Da Maria’s expansive restaurant areas, where the experienced team will guide you through the ever-evolving menu into a dinner experience with emphasis on simple, fresh and uncomplicated Italo dining.  

Dinners at Da Maria have been one of the Osteria style restaurants biggest features since opening in November and has continued to keep diners coming back for more as the food and beverage offering continues to develop, whether you’re sharing the house made gnocchi alla sorrentina or you have chosen the beautifully earthy and light crispy skinned fish of the day with braised lentils, fermented chili and rocket.  

After dinner you find yourself shifting from dining to disco with the need for one last drink in the front bar to finish the meal. This is when the evening gets underway blurring the lines between restaurant, bar and club the Pizzeria finds its’ feet with a combination of disco and house that’ll have you dancing and enough drinks will have you ordering a late night pizza from 10pm – close. Late night pizza + disco + 528Hz is a nightly occurrence and it is reflective of the notion that every night is like a Friday in Bali.  

Mixed drinks such as the NO.147 with vodka, coconut, pineapple, passionfruit, lime and falernum as well as the house favourite NO.8 with Campari, vodka and grapefruit stay true to Maurice Terzini’s classics whilst reflecting the tropical vibes of the Indonesian archipelago.  

As usual music plays an integral role in shaping Da Maria’s overall concept, with the likes of Frankie Knuckles, John Coltrane and Larry Levan as some of their biggest music influences the transition from apperitivo into dining followed by Late Night Pizza + Disco + 528Hz is not only seamless but ensures the customer an entire evening of Italo Dining and Disco in a single venue.   For more info about Da Maria damariabali.com

Aviary Hotel, Siap Terbang Lintasi Hijaunya Bintaro, Jakarta

Hotel luncurkan promosi pembukaan “Fly Me To The Room” dengan 50% diskon selama satu bulan penuh

Merek hotel yang berinspirasikan lingkungan hidup satu-satunya di Jakarta ini siap mengepakkan sayapnya dengan membuka hotel pertamanya di Indonesia pada 16 Mei 2017 – memilih paru-paru kota di daerah Bintaro sebagai lokasi proyek pertama hotel dan servicedapartement-nya.    

Destinasi sangatlah penting bagi Aviary karena Bintaro mirip seperti Jakarta, namun tanpa kemacetan lalu-lintas di kawasan distrik bisnis Ibu Kota, di mana orang dapat bersepeda ke kantor melalui jalan dengan tiga lajurnya, mengajak jalan-jalan anjingnya atau menikmati secangkir espresso di kedai kopi nan artistik – semua hanya berjarak 15 menit dari Bandara Internasional Soekarno Hatta.  

Terinspirasi dari lingkungan sekitar yang asri dan hijau, bergaya kontemporer, artistik dan artisanal, hotel ini mengusung gaya baru di Jakarta sejalan dengan segala persiapan untuk mengajak para tamunya berkelana dalam suatu pengalaman menikmati Bintaro sebagai destinasi selain daripada hotel itu sendiri.   

 “Kami penggemar burung,” ujar CEO Aviary Bintaro, Aswin Sumampau sembari tersenyum. Burung adalah inspirasi kami dalam banyak hal – jenis hewan yang mencerminkan kebebasan hidup dengan segala kemungkinannya, bebas memiliki pemikiran dan bebas dalam meyakini mimpimu. Inilah filosofi dibalik merek Aviary.   

“Kami juga percaya akan alam dan lingkungan hidup – dan inilah yang coba kami refleksikan dengan membangun hotel ini, dengan memanfaatkan hembusan angin, menggunakan kembali material dan kayu pada interior hotel, berpadu dengan ruangan yang luas dan tak bersekat tanpa banyak pernik sehingga memungkinkan interaksi maksimal,” jelasnya.   

Tempat untuk bercengkrama pada hotel tersebut adalah Starling Eatery yang menyajikan hidangan sehat, jus segar dan kopi asli Jawa pada siang hari, sementara saat malam menjelang, nuansa yang lebih apik tersaji lewat minuman khas racikan restoran tersebut diiringi alunan musik yang dibawakan oleh DJ, Aviary juga menyiapkan sepeda untuk para tamunya sehingga mereka dapat menjelajahi kawasan Bintaro sepanjang hari dengan panduan denah Flit & Fly yang disediakan khusus bagi para tamunya.    

Dari lantai hingga ke atap, ruang pertemuan yang berpartisi kaca yang terletak dari lantai P hingga 8, menawarkan pemandangan kesibukan di Bintaro, bahkan ruang pertemuan seluas 216 meter perseginya yang dikelilingi oleh taman rimbun pun telah mendapat banyak permintaan sebagai tempat untuk melangsungkan pernikahan dan berbagai acara.  

Aviary Bintaro selama periode pembukaan hotelnya memberikan penawaran harga kamar spesial “Fly Me To The Room” yang berlaku dari 16 Mei hingga 18 Juni 2017, mulai dari Rp 748.000 (USD 55) untuk Deluxe Room, hingga Rp 3.698.000 (USD 280) untuk suite tiga kamar. Sudah termasuk sarapan pagi di Starling Eatery untuk dua orang. Harga kamar tersebut sudah termasuk diskon 50%. Terdapat pula kontes mingguan berhadiah bersantap dan menginap gratis.

The Mrs Sippy Experience Comes to Bali

The Iconic Australian Restaurant and Bar Brings a Chilled Out Vibe to Their New Bali Pool Club

MRS SIPPY – the popular, iconic bar and restaurant in Sydney’s Double Bay – has expanded the brand to launch a stylish pool club in Bali.  A modern oasis, Mrs Sippy Bali is set to become Seminyak’s newest ‘see and be seen’ venue with a casual and relaxed atmosphere and ample spaces for swimming, sunning and dancing from day to night.   

Designed by Akin Creative, Mrs Sippy Bali is a chilled escape from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak. Local stone, timber, brick and custom tile have been used alongside bespoke lights and furniture to create a slightly retro feel with a modern vibe. The 800m2 saltwater pool and diving platform is the central focus of Mrs Sippy Bali. With soft curves, rendered edges and gentle beach entries, the pool is surrounded by Mediterranean-style architecture, daybeds, cabanas, gardens and shady palm trees, providing a multitude of open and private spaces.     

The on-site restaurant and bars feature menus and cocktails that are light, fresh and fun. With an events calendar of parties and international DJ’s, Mrs Sippy Bali will make a splash as the hottest spot on the Bali party scene.  

At the heart of the project are co-owners Andrew Stanway and Ben May, and their unwavering commitment to quality and providing positive experiences for all guests at Mrs Sippy Bali. Their philosophy has promoted Mrs Sippy in Double Bay, Sydney to become one of the city’s favourite haunts for celebrities and the ‘it’ crowd. Having a female-friendly brand and keen focus on service, whilst still being an upbeat and inviting venue is, according to them, the recipe for success that they are now bringing to Bali.   

“What Mrs Sippy will do is give people an amazing experience,” said co-owner Andrew Stanway. “The brands that are already here have been ground breakers and made Bali what it is and we want to add to what those brands have created. It’s just about fun, that’s our core value.  It’s about everyone having a great time, with music, food, drinks, and one of the best pools in Bali.”

Executive Chef Jonay Arnas’ menu features wood-fired seafood, pizza and light-bites, and an ever-changing array of fresh, fruity cocktails to enjoy by the pool or in one of the multiple bar areas. Mrs Sippy Bali joins the Seminyak scene with the promise of bringing the best of Bali to one glamorous destination.

“It’s not about us, it’s about Bali,” said Stanway. “It’s about what is here already, and what has made Bali such an amazing place. We have been coming here for years and we all think of Bali as one of the best places in the world.  So it’s about what the Mrs Sippy brand will be bringing to it. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, we just want the wheel to keep on turning.”

Staycation @ Best Western Hotel, Malang dan Surabaya (1)

Undangan staycation selalu menarik. Bukan karena merasakan pengalaman menginap di hotel yang tentu berbeda dengan di rumah, tapi juga menelusuri tempat-tempat wisata di sekitarnya, melihat local attraction atau pun berwisata kuliner, jelas mengasyikkan. – Burhan Abe

Itu sebabnya tawaran Bella Chyntia Novitasari, dari Corporate Marketing Communications, Best Western® Hotels & Resorts, Area Development Office Indonesia, untuk berkunjung ke Best Western Hotel, Malang dan Surabaya, 11- 13 April 2017, tidak saya sia-siakan.

Kebetulan, dari Jakarta hanya dua blogger, saya dan Rian Farisa saja yang diundang, yang di tempat tujuan nanti, akan bergabung dengan blogger-blogger lain, dari Malang, Surabaya, dan Kediri. Dari Malang ada 3 orang; Sri Rahayu, Yuwono Oktavialdi, dan Dewi Ratna; dari Surabaya ada 6 orang; Budiono Sukses, Nuzulul, Avy Chujijah, Nurul Rahma, Niar Ningrum, dan Yuniari Nukti; serta seorang dari Kediri, Silviana Noerita.

Well, perjalanan relatif lancar. Apalagi, dari Jakarta bisa terbang langsung ke Malang. Best Western, yang ada embel-embelnya OJ, yang dalam bahasa India, berarti ‘keberuntungan’, terletak di Jalan Dr. Cipto No 11, Malang. Ini adalah lokasi yang strategis dan mudah ke mana-mana, baik ke pusat kota maupun ke tempat-tempat wisata.   

Cukup cozy, begitu kesan pertama saya terhadap Best Western OJ. Hotel berbintang empat ini menawarkan tempat menginap yang nyaman dan fasilitas penunjangnya membuat para tamu merasa betah berlama-lama.

Hotel ini menawarkan 129 kamar, yang terbagi menjadi beberapa tipe yaitu Superior, Deluxe, Super Deluxe, dan Suite Junior dengan tarif mulai dari Rp 400 ribuan per malam. 

Untuk ukuran kota Malang, fasilitas yang ditawarkan tergolong lengkap dan premium, sebutlah bar di tepi kolam, layanan kamar 24 jam oleh staf hotel yang profesional, layanan laundry, ruang merokok, ruang keluarga, dan fasilitas Wi-Fi di kamar dan tempat-tempat umum di hotel ini. Tersedia pula pusat bisnis dan fasilitas rapat bagi para pengunjung yang datang untuk keperluan bisnis.

Staycation @ Best Western Hotel, Malang dan Surabaya (2)

Surabaya terkenal dengan udaranya yang panas, mungkin mataharinya ada dua, tapi hari itu, 12 April, untungnya mendung sedikit menggelayut.  Kami tiba di Hotel Best Western Papilio Surabaya menjelang makan siang – ini adalah hari kedua, yang masih dalam rangkaian acara staycation di Best Western Hotel, Malang dan Surabaya.  

Untuk wilayah selatan, hotel berbintang empat ini termasuk strategis, terletak di kawasan terpadu di Papilio Tamansari Surabaya di kawasan bisnis jalan Ahmad Yani, dan hanya 20 menit berkendara dari Bandara Internasional Juanda.  

Reception Hotel Best Western Papilio Surabaya
Bersama GM Hotel Best Western Papilio, Anom Suroto

Aha, hotel ini sangat homey. Segelas welcome drinkcukup menghilangkan dahaga, bahkan menyegarkan tubuh, setelah lelah berkendara dari Malang. Dalam rombongan blogger dan para PR yang menjadi tuan atau nyonya rumah, kami terbagi menjadi dua mobil. Ups, ternyata rombongan yang satunya sudah langsung menuju ke TKP pertama; Rumah Makan Lontong Balap Rajawali!  

Baiklah, kami pun segera menyusul, kebetulan perut terasa keroncongan, apalagi mendengar kata ‘lontong balap’. Memang, perjalanana dari hotel ke TKP, lumayan jauh, dari ujung selatan ke utara Surabaya, ditambah lagi lalu-lintas kota lagi padat-padatnya di jam tersebut.

Makanan Khas Surabaya

Tapi apalah hidup, tanpa perjuangan. Jalanan Ibu Kota saja bukan halangan, apalagi lalu-lintas Kota Buaya, yang kepadatannya hanya sepertiganya (sombong!) dibandingkan Jakarta. Yang jelas, setelah sampai ke tujuan, Lontong Balap Rajawali di Jalan Krembangan Timur 32A, terbayar sudah semua kesebelan akibat trafficjam.  

Lontong balap adalah makanan wajib yang harus dicoba selagi di Surabaya, dan kedai yang hadir sejak 1956 itu sangat memenuhi selera lidah semua orang Indonesia, bahkan lidah turis asing sekalipun. Seporsi lontong balap rasanya kurang, wajib nambah, meski piring yang kedua tanpa lontong.  

Lontong Balap dan Sate Kerang


Makan lontong balap kurang afdhol tanpa sate kerang. Sate Kerangnya disajikan dengan kecap manis dan bawang goreng yang membanjir. Kalau suka pedas, cukup tambahkan sambal, yang dijamin maknyus, meski kemringet…..

Tidak hanya fasilitas yang disediakan oleh hotel, konsep one stop living juga terlihat dari beberapa tenant restoran, resto fastfood, dan salon kecantikan yang mengelilingi area depan lobi hotel.

Belmond announces its first spa carriage aboard Belmond Royal Scotsman

Belmond announces the launch of a new spa carriage aboard Belmond Royal Scotsman, joining the rake on 17th April, the start of the 2017 season. The Bamford Haybarn Spa is the first spa carriage to be introduced aboard Belmond’s portfolio of luxury trains and features bespoke Bamford treatments for passengers travelling on overnight rail journeys throughout Scotland and Great Britain.  

British wellness brand Bamford was established in 2006 and is inspired by nature, with botanical skincare collections and holistic treatments that are made using organic ingredients certified by the Soil Association. Its Geranium, Lavender and Peppermint Botanical collection has also been selected by Belmond as the amenity range for each cabin.  

Individually crafted wellbeing treatments are devoted to connecting the mind, body and soul with the natural world. The Bamford Bespoke Facial is a 55-minute ritual that aims to restore, rejuvenate and repair the skin. The treatment features facial reflexology, lymphatic drainage, stimulating lifting and ancient yogic breathing. The treatment is finished with a deep tissue back massage focusing on Shiatsu pressure points with hot stones to release tension and promote deep relaxation.

Other treatments on offer include the Bamford De-Stress Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, as well as manicures and pedicures using eco- natural Kure Bazaar nail polishes. The Bamford Haybarn Spa has been designed using sustainable wood from Scotland and the Cotswolds, and features two relaxing single treatment rooms with picture windows looking out onto the beautiful Scottish countryside.  

“We are excited to launch our first spa carriage – we are now able to offer our guests a new way to relax, to de-stress and slow down and to reflect on their journey with us,” commented Gary Franklin, Managing Director, Belmond Trains & Cruises. “Train journeys are incredibly relaxing and the new Bamford Haybarn Spa offers another way to take time and reconnect with the things that are important while travelling through stunning Scottish scenery.”

Belmond Royal Scotsman offers two – seven night long itineraries departing from Edinburgh and travelling past sweeping glens, towering peaks and black-mirrored lochs across the Scottish Highlands.
