Tandjung Sari is precious original. One of
Bali's best kept secrets, Tandjung Sari Hotel was opened
in 1962 as four - bungalow extension to his family by Indonesia
Proprietor Wijo Wawo-Runtu. Tandjung Sari Hotel is located
in Sanur, Bali as the forerunner of boutique hotels in South
East Asia. The hotel has 28 bungalows, evolved from traditional
Balinese architecture, constructions and techniques and material.
Tandjung Sari Hotel
is more than a hotel. It is gallery of the fabled Balinese
artistic genius, the product of a quarter-century creative
partnership with the same group of craftsmen, across two generations.
Priceless antiques, both Balinese and Dutch colonial, are
also exhibited throughout the property. Like Bali itself,
the hotel is an easy in beauty dedicated to the gods. The
management sees itself as the guardian and patron of the highest
possible traditional standards in the art.
The separate bungalows were built in native
style and set in opulent gardens. Among them were discreetly
placed small stone temples with the traditional pagoda shape
and black thatch roof, Statue of gods and goddess appeared
in niches. The room, with its split bamboo walls, mats, rafts,
poles tied together with bark fiber, gave off vibrations which
I can only describe as similar to those one fells in a forest,
as if natural materials never lost their power to conduct
life. It had the quality of refuge which so few hotel room
have...."
Every Tandjung Sari bungalows
is as individual and special as the guests themselves. Each
Balinese- style unit has its own private garden, some the
sensual freedom of an open-air shower. All provide top quality
modern conveniences from air-conditioning, king-and queen-size
beds, baths and bidets, to telephone with International Direct
Dialing facilities, refrigerators and hair driers. Fine Indonesia
cuisine and the sunny courtesy of Balinese service at the
hotel's beach side restaurant and bar round off the Tandjung
Sari experience. These includes a library and a 50-foot lap
pool.
