NIKKO BALI HOSTS 'MYSTICAL' APPRECIATION PARTY

Nusa Dua – Bali, March 2006… To mark the beginning of a series of events in celebration of its 10th anniversary, Nikko Bali Resort & Spa recently hosted an exclusive appreciation party. The extensive guest list included travel agents, media representatives, airlines, consulates and other colleagues who have supported the resort over the past decade.

With a party theme ‘an evening of unbelievable illusions’, festivities commenced with a welcoming cocktail reception held in a garden setting lit by flaming torches. All invited guests were asked to dress in black, which added to the overall mystery of the evening. After an hour of social interaction and savouring tasty Balinese styled canapés, the gathering was called to attention by a group of Jungle dancers who suddenly appeared out of the darkness.

The crowd was then ushered along an unlit tunnel into the grand ballroom that was swathed totally in black for maximum effect. A pair of fantasy dance creatures on stilts weaved amongst the elegant table settings to generate an element of the unknown.

In his brief opening speech General Manager, Mr. Thierry Joho, expressed his pleasure that so many old and new friends were in attendance. He sincerely thanked everyone for their ongoing support of Nikko Bali Resort & Spa, and looked forward to continuing strong relationships in the future.

During a delicious Asian orientated buffet dinner, relaxing background music was provided by jazz quartet playing a medley of popular tunes. This was followed by a choreographed fashion parade showcasing a stunning collection of male and female clothing designs. Next came a display of capoeira, which is an Afro-Brazilian martial art involving a sequence of energetic moves set to an incessant drumming rhythm.

The highlight of the evening was a performance by renowned Indonesian mentalist, Deddy Corbuzier who enthralled the audience with his unique brand of magic and mind reading abilities. The party proved to be a huge success concluding with the Master of Ceremonies inviting all guests back to Nikko Bali for future events and departing into the night on a roaring Harley Davidson motorcycle.

This stylish party was just the first of 10 special events that will be scheduled every month for the remainder of this year. The grand finale of Nikko Bali Resort & Spa’s 10th anniversary celebrations will be a birthday party extravaganza for employees and underprivileged children filled with fun games, entertainment and generous donations.
