GIANYAR, balitourismnow.com – Celebrating its 13th anniversary on Sunday, August 26, 2026, Pramana Experience marked a special milestone with a warm, family-style gathering. The event featured a traditional tumpeng ceremony as a gesture of gratitude, along with the official launch of Berlima Boutique Resort.
Berlima Boutique Resort represents a new chapter for Pramana—one that reflects a more mature, thoughtful, and intentional approach to experience-driven hospitality. Its opening was warmly welcomed by the entire Pramana family.
That afternoon, staff from all Pramana-managed properties gathered at Berlima, located within the UNAME Ubud by Pramana area. Dressed in white and full of smiles, they arrived with a shared sense of pride and celebration.
The event was attended by the Board of Directors, including CEO I Wayan Suarsa, President Commissioner I Wayan Wardika, and Commissioners I Nyoman Sudirga Yusa, I Ketut Suyasa, and I Wayan Partana.
“Berlima Boutique Resort reflects our 13-year journey—creating spaces that are not just seen, but truly felt,” said Suarsa in his speech.
The resort is inspired by the Panca Maha Bhuta philosophy—the five elements of nature: earth (prithvi), water (apas), fire (tejas), air (vayu), and space (akasa). Each element was symbolically represented during the launch ceremony, from lighting flames and planting trees to watering plants and releasing birds—signifying life, balance, and harmony.
The celebration peaked with the tumpeng cutting and a toast by the Board of Directors, followed by pin awards for operational managers and prizes for futsal competition winners.
Suarsa also acknowledged current global challenges, including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which impact Bali’s tourism industry. Still, he emphasized resilience: “This is the beginning of a new chapter—more reflective, adaptive, and grounded in our core values.”
This milestone marks not just expansion, but a continued commitment to strengthening foundations, improving operations, and growing sustainably in a dynamic industry.
A Symbol of Transformation and Sustainability
The 13th anniversary is also reflected in a meaningful visual identity inspired by Ongkara, a sacred Balinese symbol representing universal energy, harmony, and spiritual balance. Combined with a lotus shape, it symbolizes transformation, sustainability, and deep cultural roots.
As Ongkara represents the origin of life and vibration, this 13th year signals a new frequency—one that honors tradition while evolving toward the future.
Representing the board, Sudirga Yusa emphasized that people remain the foundation of Pramana’s business. “In hospitality, everything comes back to people. Other factors matter, but people matter most,” he said.
Unlike many companies that hire ready-made talent, Pramana focuses on nurturing and growing its own people as a core strength.
He added that Berlima Boutique Resort embodies transformation through its “Spirit of Five Elements” philosophy and natural simplicity. More than just a place to stay, Berlima offers a meaningful space where design, story, and environment come together in quiet harmony—creating a deeper, more personal experience for guests.
Celebrating Through Connection and Impact
This anniversary is not just about time passed, but about people, purpose, and shared values. A series of initiatives were held to strengthen internal connections and create broader impact.
According to organizing committee head Tude, the celebration embraced the Tri Hita Karana philosophy—harmony between humans, God, and nature.
Activities began in February with prayers at Melanting and Pulaki temples (human–God connection), followed by a futsal competition between units (human–human connection), which saw enthusiastic participation from 16 teams. More than a competition, it highlighted teamwork, resilience, and unity.
Pramana also held a CSR program in Nusa Ceningan, focusing on meaningful community engagement and sustainable impact. This aligns with the company’s commitment to growing alongside the local environment and communities.
Additionally, an eco-enzyme initiative was carried out at Segara Ulun Danu Batur Temple (human–nature connection), promoting organic waste processing into useful natural solutions—balancing environmental awareness with operational responsibility.
“Through eco-enzyme programs, organic waste is transformed into something beneficial, supporting both sustainability and daily operations,” Tude explained. [buda]
