			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/the-bale1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-75" title="The Bale" src="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/the-bale1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Alila’s vision toward responsible tourism lies not only in their management philosophy for a sustainable business, but in the knowledge that hotels globally contribute in major waste, pollution, community, cultures and travel expectations. Environmental awareness has made sustainable tourism a necessary platform for future successful hotels. The business benefits of going green are: reduced consumption and therefore reduced costs, customer loyalty, attracting and retaining dedicated staff. <a href="http://alilahotels.com/ubud" target="_blank">Alila Ubud</a> and <a href="http://alilahotels.com/manggis" target="_blank">Alila Manggis</a> will be the first hotels within the group to be GG21 certified. The other properties will soon follow. All our newly developed hotels are going to embrace environmentally sustainable design principles in each design and construction. Our Alila villas Uluwatu, Bali will be the first hotel ever built to this standard from the plan.</p>
<p><strong>ALILA MANGGIS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY POLICY</strong></p>
<p>Alila Manggis is a boutique designer property set to harmonise with Balinese culture and located within a coconut grove on the tranquil East Coast of Bali.  In order to provide our guests with a Balinese experience in terms of culture, environment and ambience management recognises the need to work in harmony with the local community. We demonstrate this through achieving recognition with the Bali Tri Hita Karana Awards which promote a balanced relationship between fellow human beings, their God and the environment and through adopting the Green Globe 21 approach to sustainable tourism. We offer our guests the opportunity to participate in our GG 21 activities by constantly creating new Alila experiences in support of this policy while proactively encouraging local tourism operators in our regency to think Green especially in preserving the waterways, coral reef and minimising their use of plastic.</p>
<p>To promote our community relationship we commit to select the majority of our employee’s from the local area and region of Karangasem regency.  We utilise fresh local products from our organic garden in the first instance and where these are not available purchase goods and services from local suppliers with a preference to those from profit sharing co-operatives organisation.</p>
<p>It is our commitment to measure our greenhouse gas emissions, energy and fresh water usage, waste water discharges, minimize our solid waste and set targets etc., in all areas to improve our environmental performance through benchmarking with GG21 every year and to comply with the relevant environmental public and occupational health and safety, hygiene and employment legislation and other requirements of Indonesia to which we are obliged to adhere.</p>
<p>Our Management and Green Team is proud to promote and communicate our aims and performance in the GG21 programs to our share holders and to all staff, neighbours, suppliers and local community and to make this policy available to them on request.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Our Environmental and Social Efforts</strong></p>
<p>We invite you to join our Green Team when staying at Alila with the following environmentally friendly options:</p>
<p>•          Fresh linens and towels are provided daily.  Protect the earth by saving gallons of water and chemical detergents by placing this card on your bed should you wish to reuse your bed linen.  Should you wish to reuse your towel, please hang it on the hook provided, if not please leave it on the floor of the shower and you will receive a fresh towel.</p>
<p>•          Save on carbon emissions and explore the delightful countryside of East Bali by bicycle instead of by car this holiday.   Healthier for you and the ozone layer.</p>
<p>•          Support local village co-operative projects by taking home gifts of our beautifully packaged coconut soaps.  Spa Alila soaps can be found in our Alila Living boutique.</p>
<p>•          Immerse yourself in Balinese culture with a visit to one of our local temple ceremonies with our Leisure Concierge who is happy to share with you the spiritual, communal and social rituals andpractices of these blessed people.</p>

This is the recipe for a richly flavored culinary experience integrated at the award-winning <a href="http://www.alilahotels.com/manggis/culinary" target="_blank">Seasalt </a>Restaurant.

<p><strong>Introduction to Balinese Cooking</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/e-cs-manggis-2008-may-20082.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-62" title="E- CS Manggis 2008 - May 2008" src="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/e-cs-manggis-2008-may-20082.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>From the growing and harvesting process to the marketing and preparation of ingredients, understand how the cycle of daily life translates to the plate in traditional Balinese dishes.</p>
<p>After an early morning breakfast, visit Klungkung market and experience the amazing sights, sounds and aromas of one of the busiest village markets in East Bali. Return to the hotel to learn how to use the ubiquitous Ulekan (traditional Balinese mortar and pestle) to make the embodiment of Balinese cuisine – Bumbu Bali (Balinese curry paste) and Bumbu kacang (peanut sauce) – and prepare Balinese style nasi goreng (fried rice) in a wok and sate ayam (grilled chicken skewers). Then savour the morning’s handiwork over a leisurely lunch in the restaurant.</p>
<p><strong>Organic Garden Adventure</strong></p>
<p>Gain a new sense of taste as you rediscover the wholesome, nurturing flavors of unprocessed ingredients. Grow your awareness of sustainable farming which is sure to stimulate your appetite for a more healthy, balanced lifestyle.</p>
<p>After breakfast, head to our organic garden just 10 minutes from the hotel, hidden below the foothills of Mt Agung overlooking the sea. Our gardener Pak Sugita will reveal the techniques and agricultural practices of Balinese farmers, from the famed Subak (water irrigation) system to the rotation of crops in the rice fields.</p>
<p>Armed with boots and a rice hat, join in the action in the garden, collecting seasonal ingredients, walking the ducks, scaring the birds or simply waiting for the rice to grow from the shelter of a “kubu kubu” – a small hut built in the rice fields. Begin your organic cooking lesson with tastings from the garden followed by lunch in a traditional Balinese pavilion.</p>
<p><strong>Food for the Skin</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/e-cs-manggis-2008-may-20081.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-61" title="E- CS Manggis 2008 - May 2008" src="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/e-cs-manggis-2008-may-20081.jpg?w=229&#038;h=300" alt="" width="229" height="300" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Bali has a rich history of traditional medicinal recipes for maintaining health and beauty. Discover the healing qualities of natural ingredients found all around us, and used in Alila’s cuisine naturalle and rejuvenating spa treatments. A Balinese breakfast in our organic garden is a wonderful start to the day, prepared by our head gardener Pak Sugita using a Jalikan or traditional wood-fired stove. Then explore the garden, picking herbs, roots and fruits that hold the secrets to staying healthy used by the Balinese people.</p>
<p>Learn how to make coconut oil that you can use to prepare your own skin treatments. Create a facial treatment using local fruits and organic bath sea salts, as well as a herbal body scrub made from an age-old recipe handed down through the generations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/clip_image002.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-31" title="clip_image002" src="http://alilahotels.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/clip_image002.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The Alila Living Gallery at Alila Ubud is delighted to showcase a glittering collection of jeweled batik tapestries designed by German-born textile artist Annemarie Kipar. The exhibition features an Indonesian-inspired series of jeweled batik wall hangings and bedspreads, each beautifully embellished with richly coloured beads, sequins and stones.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Annemarie’s beautiful creations bring together her love for fine jewels with her love for the intricate designs and motifs of Indonesian batik and ikats, which was sparked not long after she arrived in Bali in the early 1990s. She has lived and worked here ever since.</p>
<p>Most of her tapestries are one-off originals whose unique designs are impossible to recreate as they feature batiks that are rare, and are decorated with beads and stones she has collected over the years. She also mostly works with antique fabrics, although a new batik might occasionally inspire her and now has also incorporated chince, cheneel from Europe and latly double brokat from Tibet. Each piece is intricately and precisely hand-stitched, and takes around three to four months to complete.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Annemarie’s jewelled batik tapestries have been exhibited in Indonesia as well as in US and Europe. They also enjoy a loyal following, becoming collector’s items worldwide, with notable collectors including Balinese royalty and Hollywood stars such as Elizabeth Taylor.</p>
<p>Annemarie Kipar has made substantial donations to the hospital in Aceh, birthing clinic Ubud, Rotary Club Ubud, and several non profit organizations in the US, Europe, and Indonesia.</p>

<p><em>(Image courtesy of Peter Voet)</em></p>
<p>One of our valued guests at <a href="http://http://www.alilahotels.com/manggis" target="_blank">Alila Manggis</a>,who was passionate about Scuba Diving, recently wrote a review for us.</p>
<p>&#8221; Early November 2009 I came to Bali to do some diving.</p>
<p>The main thing I would have liked to see was the famous Mola Mola or oceanic sunfish which Bali is famous for.I knew I was a little late on the season for a sunfish encounter, but I didn’t mind.My view on diving is that one should not chase around species to see, nature will present them as a gift to you when the time is right.</p>
<p>Living up to this philosophy staying at the Allila Mangis resort is not so hard. You can feel the pulse of nature throughout the place. Besides of that, the whole complex has the same Zen feeling to it as the one I look for while diving.</p>
<p>It is a place to come home to when you’re tired after diving and just relax.I was curious what nature would present to me this time.The first gift I got was the Mantis shrimp. This colourful small lobster is also nicknamed thumb-breaker. It got this reputation from being able to hit very hard with its small claws.While taking the picture I was very careful of not having the housing smashed. It was the first time I ever got to see the rare lobster.</p>
<p>Then the great Barracuda came along. The large predator fish measured at least one and a half meter in length. I could come very close to it, an unforgettable experience.</p>
<p>As if this was not enough, we stumbled upon the rare Ghost pipefish. This very small creature mimics seaweed in order to mislead fish hunting for it. I had seen this rare creature before, but the clear waters of Bali offered me my first opportunity to take a good picture of it.</p>
<p>At that point the 2 most spectacular encounters were still up nature’s sleeve.</p>
<p>First I was totally amazed by an encounter with an enormous school of Trevally fish. The school moves around like a chaotic system. Watching is was like being in a nature movie. It cannot be believed how happy I felt.</p>
<p>Then it was time for the cherry on the cake. An encounter with the one species one has to see to believe it is for real. I got to dive with Manta Ray.I got to see 3 of them together and I got to see them really close. It was like seeing bionic stealth fighter planes going over my head… simply amazing.</p>
<p>And what about the Mola Mola ? I guess it wasn’t time for me to receive that present yet.</p>
<p>But I will get back to Bali again for that one; maybe time will be right then, maybe not. That next time Allila Mangis will be my home again.&#8221;</p>
