The Balé is a Balinesan retreat dedicated to revitalizing your soul as well as revitalizing the local village of Nusa Dua. The Balé is dedicated to the well-being of its employees and their families. They have set up a training and development program in the community to provide education and ultimately jobs. Approximately 80% of the employees come from Nusa Dua. Hiring locally has also helped to eliminate the use of motorized vehicles used to get to and from work, since most employees walk.
The Balé hosts exhibitions for local artists as well as cultural celebrations and events. This provides guests with exposure to the local culture as well as monetary support for the locals.
In keeping with their direct approach with the community, the Balé has set up a beach facility in which guests have direct access to a local food and beverage cooperative and local residents participate in the clean-up and maintenance of the area forming a community initiative that all residents can be proud of. This spot has become a favorite, in the South of Bali, for tourists and residents alike. This is a perfect example of connecting people to achieve a common goal of community preservation, while providing a rich tourism experience. [more]
