Hotels
by Location | Bali
| Manggis Area
Manggis has
recently become the site of a number of luxury hotels such
as the Serai and the Amankila. The beach is clean and well
tended, and Manggis is the ideal location if you wish to
visit a traditional village such as Tenganan. Famous for
their unusual customs and festivals, the people in these
Bali Aga or original Balinese villages have remained fairly
isolated from the modern world. Their villages are walled in
to prevent outsiders from intruding. The Tenganese are also
known for their intricate textile traditions. They weave a
double ikat variety of cloth known as Gringsing. It is only
made in small quantities and it is said to be able to
protect a wearer from black magic.
Once a year
there the Usaba Sambah festival, when local men wrap their
fists with sharp pandanus leaves and fight until blood is
spilt. At the same festival, a ceremonial ferris wheel -
cranked by hand - is assembled and the girls of the village
are spun around in accordance with tradition.
