Kvitfjell was built for the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics. Since then, it has become one of the best and most modern ski resorts in Northern Europe. Kvitfjell is located just 2.5 hours north of the Oslo Airport, along the main railway and highway.

Throughout the year it offer a variety of activities for both private- and business groups. For those who enjoy speed, they can arrange quad safaris. If your group wants something not so physically challanging, it offers canoeing on calm lakes combined with a lunch. While you are here, why not enjoy a nice meal at one of our tipi-tents or old mountain farms?

Kvitfjell offers a wide range of comfortable accommodation, most of it close to the slopes. Through Kvitfjell Booking, you can rent lodges and apartments, most of them with ski-in and ski-out access. GudbrandsGard Hotell is Kvitfjell’s “Mountain Castle”, and is considered one of Norway’s finest hotels.

No visit to Bali is complete without a visit to the island’s stunning North region. Just a couple of hours from the airport you find to some of the most beautiful and iconic attractions on the island. Some are famous around the world, like the serene water temple Ulun Danu on lake Bratan,  while some are still waiting to be discovered. The waterfall in Ambengan, for example, is every bit as spectacular as the more famous waterfall in Git-Git, yet it lies completely undisturbed, except for the monkeys, that sometimes play tag in the vines above the natural pool at the waterfall’s base.

LOVINA Five small fishing villages along the black volcanic sands of the North Bali coast form the area of Lovina. Named by the last king of Singaraja, Lovina offers plenty of relaxed tropical charm, and it is the perfect vantage point for exploring Bali’s northern region. The beaches are some of the prettiest on the island, most are wide and undisturbed, with majestic palms framing the dark sand and the gentle tropical sea. The villages are famous for their dolphin trips. Every morning at sunrise a handful or more of converted outrigger fishing boats venture out in search of the pods of dolphins that roam the calm waters of Lovina bay. Most often a few dozen dolphins are sighted, playing and somersaulting in the wake of the boats, but just as often you can be lucky to see groups of hundreds as the sun rises over Bali’s green mountains. Maybe the early morning expeditions are the cause of the quiet, easygoing nightlife of Lovina, with guitars on the beach rather than discoteques.

SINGARAJA Nowhere on the island can you experience the rich history of Bali’s old kingdoms like in North Bali. The town of Singaraja, just a few minutes drive from Lovina, was once the proud capital of Bali, and the kings that ruled here was recognised as the foremost of all Bali’s royalty. Today the the wide and pleasant avenues is a testament to the city’s colonial past – and although without many tourist atractions as such, a visit to Singaraja will let you participate in life as it is led in the real Bali. By special arrangement with the royal family of Singaraja, Damai can arrange a tour of the palace, where a member of the royal family will guide you through the rich history and culture represented in these modest buildings, that are as much a family home as a royal dwelling. Or you can venture out on a morning visit to the towns bustling food market, where one of Damai’s chefs will show you where many of our supplies come from.

BEDUGUL The name Bedugul is the official name for the North Bali region – but the name also covers the central highland region of Bali. Here you drive through majestic volcanic mountains, sometimes with views stretching from coast to coast. Most of Bali’s produce comes from this fertile soil and you can sample it in the central highland market. Here you find the three holy lakes Tamblingan, Buyan and Bratan, with the muted splendor of the Ulun Danu temple, and of course Kebun Raya, Bali’s beautiful botanical gardens.

MUNDUK This small farming village in the highlands behind Lovina is still waiting to be discovered by the general tourist visiting the island. The picturesque town, which hugs verdant mountainsides, surrounded by coffee plantations and chrysantemum farms, almost brings to mind the legend of Shangri-La.

The southern tourist centres of Bali has today sprawled to be almost interwoven, and is so well connected by a network of roads, that many think of it as one homogenous area. But still each area has it’s own distinct atmosphere, and even in the one spot where tourism is most concentrated, the original, unspoilt Bali culture flourish effortlessly side by side with the restaurants, the bars and the brand name shops. Even here, the ricefields are never more than a short walk away.

JIMBARAN is a small fishing village with probably the best beach in Bali that manages to be close to everything while maintaining the distinct Balinese village atmosphere.

SEMINYAK has grown to be the dining Mecca of Bali. Here the restarants lie side by side and the area offers a more mature and relaxed nightlife than neighbouring KUTA and LEGIAN, where bars and discos dominate rather than restaurants and lounges. SANUR is often the place of choice for families, a quiet, relaxed beach resort village with a clean white beach and a wide range of souvenir shops and inexpensive restaurants.

UBUD Despite being one of Bali’s most visited tourism areas the culture flourishes here more than ever, and the town is undoubtedly the artist’s centre in Bali. Along the famous ‘Museum Mile’ you can visit the main art museums of Bali, and serveral interesting temples are found in the area. The villages around Ubud all offer many oportunities for handicraft shopping and Ubud itself has a good selction of restaurants and quiet nightlife.

PADANG BAI Besides being the harbour from which the ferry to Lombok departs the tiny village of Padang Bai offers two beautiful bays with crescent sandy beaches, scattered with a choice of basic accomodations and restaurants.

Damai in Lovina, North Bali, has for years been implementing and improving an ambitious environmental programme covering waste treatment, water- and energy conservation and a detailed manual for organic resort operation. Now the leading resort of North Bali has been chosen to be a role model for other hotels and resorts of the region, and also serve as a field laboratory for new concepts in sustainable resort operation. The regional government in Singaraja has just launched a wide reaching programme for making the North Bali tourism even more green, and Damai is put forth as the example for other resorts on the island.

”The things we do at Damai are fairly low-tech and can easily be adapted by both a familiy-run losmen and a 50-room hotel. There is no hocus-pocus, and the equipment used is mostly locally made, not imported from Basel or Toronto,” says Rory McTiernan, who is the head of Damai’s environmental programme. McTiernan has a university degree in agriculture, and has for decades also been working as environmental consultant for various industries across the Indonesian archipelago.

”Many of the practices are not only more cost-efective, but often simple and easy to implement, such as sorting  the garbage and ensuring proper disposal of waste, allthough we sometimes need to find alternate ways of recycling the materials, since no institutions exist up here. With the plastic water bottles for instance, we have put up an open container by the main road where we just put all of them in, and during the day they simply get picked up by locals who need them for something in their business or in the household.”

’As opposed to the South part of the island, tourism has not yet had any harmful impact to the environment up here. North Bali is still untouched, and it is a wise and commendable initiative launched by the local governemt to keep it that way. We are proud to be chosen as the model resort, and happy that we are allowed to share our experiences to keep Bali green.

Mandi is the Indonesian word for bath. In Damai’s version it is a treament bath, performed in the luxurious space of your own villa bathroom by one or two of the resort’s experienced therapists. The treatments themselves are centered around the javanese mandi lulur, the traditional flower bath that is both romantic and utterly enjoyable, combined with massages, body scrubs, aromatherapy, beauty treatments and manicures. Perhaps combined with servings of champagnes, fruits and teas.

The treatments are created by Made and Sally Wijaya, the husband and wife team who leads the Damai Spa.
