Merusaka Nusa Dua Champions Marine Conservation with Heartwarming Sea Turtle Release Event

NUSA DUA, BALI – August 19, 2025Merusaka Nusa Dua, our beachfront sanctuary, showed its commitment to environmental conservation today. We hosted a heartwarming sea turtle release Bali event on Mengiat Beach’s pristine shores. We held the initiative with local conservation partners. It gave hotel guests an unforgettable opportunity. They got to actively help protect Bali’s precious marine life.

Dozens of guests came together on the sand for the special occasion. This included many families and young children. With guidance from conservation experts and our team, each participant received a baby sea turtle hatchling to release. The event created a magical and educational atmosphere. Attendees watched the tiny turtles make their determined journey across the sand. Then, they entered the Indian Ocean for the first time.

The sea turtle release in Bali is a key part of Merusaka’s sustainability program. This program has deep roots in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. This means harmony with God, with people, and with the environment. The event aims to do two things. First, it contributes directly to the survival of these endangered creatures. Second, it raises awareness and fosters a love for marine conservation among our visitors.

“This event is incredibly close to our hearts,” said the General Manager of Merusaka Nusa Dua. “We believe that true hospitality includes a deep respect for our natural environment. To see our guests, especially the younger generation, connect so joyfully with this conservation effort is a truly rewarding experience. It’s a small step, but it represents our larger commitment to preserving the beauty of Bali for generations to come.”

The successful event highlights Merusaka Nusa Dua’s position. We are a leading destination. Not just for exceptional hospitality, but for meaningful and sustainable travel experiences as well.

Merusaka Nusa Dua Awarded Certificate of Appreciation for Sustainable Waste Management Partnership with Magi Farm

Nusa Dua, Bali — Merusaka Nusa Dua is honored to announce that, through our ongoing collaboration with Magi Farm, we have proudly received a certificate of appreciation that recognizing our commitment to responsible food waste management. This achievement highlights the success of our sustainable efforts and dedication to creating a greener future for Bali.

Since the beginning of our partnership with Magi Farm, we have implemented the innovative Black Soldier Fly bioconversion technology — a natural and eco-friendly solution to tackle food waste generated from our dining outlets, including breakfast service. These remarkable maggots consume twice their weight in organic waste daily and produce nutrient-rich pellets that nourish our gardens, closing the loop between waste reduction and environmental care. With 50 maggot boxes in continuous rotation, Merusaka Nusa Dua has processed over 27,200 kilograms of food waste in a year of collaboration. This significant volume demonstrates the tangible impact of our sustainable practices and our commitment to reducing landfill waste and lowering methane emissions.

Our dedicated team closely manages the maggot farm, ensuring the maggots are well maintained and the system operates efficiently. The team provides regular reports to Magi Farm to track progress and optimize operations. Additionally, Magi Farm collects the mature maggots every week for breeding, lifecycle continuation, or value-added processing. Magi Farm’s expertise in transforming food waste into sustainable resources has been invaluable in helping us reduce our environmental footprint. This certificate of appreciation is not just a recognition of the work done but also a motivation to continue advancing responsible waste management and sustainability initiatives.

“We extend our gratitude to Magi Farm for their partnership, and to everyone who supports Merusaka Nusa Dua’s vision for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Bali. Together, we are proud to lead by example — showing how thoughtful collaboration and innovative solutions can drive meaningful change for our future,” said Agung Aryawati, Executive Assistant Manager at Merusaka Nusa Dua.

The cleanup raised awareness about ocean conservation and the urgent need to reduce plastic and other waste pollution. It also offered guests a meaningful opportunity to engage in eco-conscious travel by contributing to a cleaner and healthier marine environment during their stay.

Participants were provided with all the necessary tools to support the cleanup effort. Following the activity, everyone enjoyed a selection of light refreshments served by the beach—a relaxing moment to connect with others and appreciate the ocean they had just helped clean and protect.
