Palm to Pour: Bali’s Liquid Heritage
Some of Bali’s most fascinating traditions are found far beyond its beaches.
This immersive cultural journey takes members into the heart of Sidemen, where generations of Balinese families have perfected the art of making Arak – the island’s traditional palm spirit. Witness skilled harvesters climb towering palm trees, taste freshly collected palm sap straight from the source and follow the fascinating process that transforms it into one of Bali’s most iconic drinks.
Alongside the Arak experience, discover the centuries-old craft of traditional sea salt making in Kusamba and enjoy local cuisine surrounded by the spectacular rice terraces of Sidemen. Thoughtfully curated from beginning to end, the experience offers a rare glimpse into the traditions, craftsmanship and flavours that continue to shape rural Bali today.
A refreshing blend of culture, connection and discovery – served with a true taste of Bali.
