Photos & images of Alam Sari Keliki

in indonesian alam sari means natural essence
and that s what alam sari wants its guests to
experience.
we not only want our guests to experience it we
are committed in many other ways to preserving
the natural cultural and social environment of
bali.
at alam sari we have used the natural products of
bali and indonesia wherever possible - natural
rubber mattresses on our beds handwoven balinese
cotton for our furnishing fabrics indonesian
batiks and teak furniture bamboo and lontar palm
leaf lamp shades coconut wood pillars and
original indonesian antique furniture and works
of art make our decor uniquely indonesian. our
gardens overflow with glorious tropical plants
flowers and trees of every sort.
we treat our waste in ways that do not pollute
the environment. our waste water is treated in an
imported eco-system that breaks waste down
biologically thus ensuring no waste water or
solids go to ground or pollute the environment.
in fact the treated water is used on our gardens.
waste food is given to local farmers as animal
food bottles paper and plastic are recycled
wherever possible and other waste is disposed of
responsibly.
our water is solar heated we use no aerosol
sprays we use gas in our kitchen and no msg or
other artificial flavourings are used in our
cooking.
much of our furniture is made from kaji mas
timber which grows on the indonesian island of
sumbawa. there it grows rapidly in the managed
tropical forest whose concessionaire responsibly
mills 6000 trees per year and replants many more
so the resource is sustainably harvested and
responsibly managed.
we employ on our permanent staff many people from
nearby villages and in addition the live music
played and traditional massages offered are
provided by local villagers who also sell us some
of the fresh fruit and vegetables we use. we
encourage you to use local villagers to escort
you on your walks or rides around the village and
to buy the local craft items they make including
the exquisite miniature paintings that keliki and
its surrounding villages are famous for.
