Jewelry Making in Ubud


Studio Perak is locally run business in Ubud, the cultural centre of beautiful Bali, Indonesia, where Pak Ketut plies his trade of making beautiful, organically inspired jewelry with silver and semi precious stones.

Every year when we visit Bali we will always be learning new things. For 2014, it has to be jewelry making.
Here we are trying the art of silver smithing with a half day course and creating a piece of silver jewelry of our own design, in just three hours!

 Amanoi - an unforgettable experience
 Anthony & Pat
The spectacular coastline of Vietnam’s Ninh Thuan Province is the dramatic setting for the latest addition to the Amanresorts portfolio: Amanoi. Derived from the Sanskrit for “peace” and “noi” meaning place, it sits on a wide promontory of the Nui Chua National Park overlooking the white sands of the beach and the beautiful waters of Vinh Bay. The 55 kilometres drive from Cam Ranh Airport ends in a scenic journey through the National Park, which brings guests to Amanoi. 
 Welcome gifts of fruits and a bottle of champagne
