Merusaka’s commitment to protecting children at our home.
Bali is more than a destination. For millions of people (visitors and locals alike) it is a place of beauty, warmth, and genuine human connection. At Merusaka Nusa Dua, we are privileged to be part of this island’s story. And with that privilege comes a responsibility we take deeply to heart: the protection and dignity of every child in our community.
This is not a policy document. It is a statement of who we are.
A Resort Rooted in Community
Merusaka was built on the belief that great hospitality goes hand in hand with genuine care for the place and people around us. Nusa Dua is not just our address, it is our home. The children who grow up here, who play on these streets and dream of their futures, are part of the community we serve every single day.
That’s why Merusaka actively supports efforts to combat the sexual exploitation of children, a cause that sits at the intersection of child welfare, community dignity, and responsible tourism. We believe that a truly welcoming destination is, above all, a safe one.
Why This Matters to Us
Child sexual exploitation is a reality that exists in tourist destinations around the world, including here in Bali. It thrives in silence and in the shadows of indifference. The most powerful thing a community can do whether a family, a neighborhood, or a resort is to simply refuse to look away.
As one of Bali’s leading hospitality properties, Merusaka has both the reach and the responsibility to help change the culture around this issue. We don’t see this as an obligation. We see it as a natural expression of our values: care, integrity, and a deep respect for every human being who crosses our path.
“Every child deserves a childhood free from exploitation and abuse.”
