Venues that will add local flavour

Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK)
Outside Nusa Dua, GWK is a cultural and events park carved out of the limestone. The
facilities here are ideal for outdoor events.
The first-class acoustic environment of the 800-seat amphitheatre is a peerless venue
for cultural performances. Enclosed by enormous limestone pillars with a 23m-high statue of the Hindu god Vishnu as a backdrop, the dramatic Lotus Pond area has a capacity for 7,500 people.
Like the ceremonial boulevard of a Balinese village, the Street Theatre is suitable for processions and fashion shows. The most intimate space, the Plaza Kura Kura, can hold
200 people. DeMiMiDi is a swish-looking restaurant with a great view.

Mengwi
Mengwi is home to the second most important temple in Bali, Taman Ayun. This imposing complex stands on an island in a river and the inner temple is surrounded by a moat. In front of the entrance to the inner temple, beyond its traditional split gate, is a large fountain basin dedicated to the rulers of the underworld. In the innermost courtyard, entered through a Balinese covered gate, are 27 buildings of different sizes and functions. Events for up to
400 people can be held here.
Guests are welcomed with colourful offerings presented by the villagers of Mengwi, dressed in traditional costumes.
Cultural shows are staged in adjoining locations during cocktails and there is a night market. The First Asia Pacific Media Forum was held here in 2005.

Bongkasa Royal Palace
The beautiful Royal House is set in lush forest in Bongkasa village. Recently renovated, with
intricate golden architecture, this venue can host events for up to 400 delegates. Members
of the royal family welcome guests and a gala meal, once reserved for Balinese royalty or
Rajalaya style, is served. Super Quik recently held an event here.
