Monte Makes a Beachhead at Nusa Dua

Braving ocean waves and patrol boats securing the United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Bali's resident marathon swimmer, Monte Monfore, swam from Serangan Island near Bali's Sanur Beach to Nusa Dua on the morning of December 10, 2007.

An official parallel event of the UNFCCC, Monte dubbed his event a "Reverse Climate Change Swim." Addressing the media before entering the water at Serangan island, the 47-year-old endurance athlete said, "this swim is to support efforts to reduce global warming, and highlight the serious threat it poses to the world's endangered coral reefs."

The UNFCCC swim is the latest installment on a series of swims undertaken by the American resident of Bali to promote the United Nations Millennium Campaign and is intended to underline Millennium Goal of ensuring environmental sustainability.

Wearing slogans on his swimmers cap and suit proclaiming "Live Green and Save the Reefs," Monte dedicated his latest feat to "Mother Earth" and reminded the press and his group of enthusiastic supporters that "it's our responsibility to protect and safeguard this fragile planet for future generations."

The Swim

After a morning downpour, Bali's skies brightened just before the swimmer entered the water at the southeast corner of Serangan Island at 9:19 a.m.. Because of strong outer-reef currents, the athlete's support team advised him to swim inside the reef where he faced substantially less current. The change in route lessened the originally planned seven-kilometer swim to six kilometers. Despite swimming against a slight current most of the way, Monte said he was very pleased with the windless conditions, which greatly improved his stoke efficiency.

Before the start of the swim, Monte drank five large glasses of a high-calorie liquid consisting of eleven eggs, protein powder, fruit, yogurt, and peanut butter. To contend with warm ocean water and prevent dehydration, the marathon swimmer paused in the water to take 10-second breaks to consume sports drinks approximately once every 15 minutes. And, as with past swims, he strictly obeyed the rules of ocean swimming: no wetsuit, no fins, and no touching the support boat.

Monte's swim was supported by half a dozen vessels, three filled with armed Navy and Marine Police escorts providing security for the UNFCCC and Monte as he swam the busy Benoa Harbor channel. The armada of warships securing the Nusa Dua and the UN Conference provided an additional and unique navigational challenge to the swimmer.

After two hours and three minutes Monte stepped onto white sands of Nusa Dua beach at 11:22 a.m. directly in front of the Convention venue for the UNFCCC at the Westin Resort. There he was greeted by a cheering crowd of UN officials, observers, and more than 20 members of the media.

A Man Who Cares About the World's Oceans

Echoing the message being delivered just meters away at the important climate change conference, Monte told the press that he had "terrible news." Explaining, he said: "The ocean is dying. 15 years ago I used to see dozens of reef sharks and turtles every week. Now I rarely see them." He also spoke about the "beautiful coral reefs" dying because of global warming, which, he said, was "up to all of us" to stop. He concluded by encouraging people to change their lifestyles and learn to reduce their "carbon footprints"; inviting "everyone to join the growing chorus of citizens worldwide becoming part of the Green Generation."

Following his remarks, Monte introduced renowned US-based Coral Ecologist Dr. Thomas J. Goreau who spoke briefly about the effects of garbage, pollution, and global warming on the world's ocean and sensitive coral reef ecosystems. Monte then announced that his swim was "carbon neutral" and introduced Yensen Alaiman of American Express who revealed that his Company would be planting hundreds of trees on nearby Nusa Penida island to mark the "Reverse Climate Change Swim."

Don't Forget the Next Generation

Reflecting Monte Monfore's strong commitment to child welfare in Indonesia, the swim also featured a US$2,500 donation to the Sanur-based Baitul Muslimin Orphanage, symbolically received by 10 children from the orphanage attending the ceremony. Much to the delight of spectators and the children, two rescued 50-centimer green turtles were released back into the ocean to underline the continuing efforts to stamp out the illegal turtle trade in Bali.

PRIVATE VACATION VILLAS IN BALI

You can choose from the most beautiful private villas for your vacation in Bali, ranging from charming cottages to luxurious estates. All villas in the Balivillas.com portfolio have been carefully selected to meet very high standards. Several have been featured in ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST and in other magazines as well as in various books as examples of "contemporary Balinese" luxury lifestyle.

WARNING: many so-called "Villas" are nowadays offered on numerous web sites. Please visit How to Select the Right Villa Company and Book a Villa for a step-by-step guide how to avoid disappointment.

All villas in the Balivillas.com portfolio are well-designed leisure homes (some valued above US$2,500,000) with spacious living & dining areas, air-conditioned bedrooms with beautiful en-suite garden bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, all modern amenities, a tropical garden with private swimming pool, and serviced by excellent cooks and well-trained house staff.

If you have a large family or you travel together with friends, you can book a villa with 5 to 7 bedrooms, a 5-acre (2 hectares) garden with hotel-size swimming pool, private tennis court, archery range, billiards and games lounge, family sauna, etc., and you'll be pampered and cared for by 25 trained house staff including Italian-trained cooks, maids, house boys, masseuses, laundress, gardeners, etc.

Travelling alone or as a couple, you may prefer one of the much smaller villas with charming simplicity and local style. Even these provide the same privacy and come with full service, a private swimming pool, and are set in beautiful gardens with an abundance of tropical plants and flowers.

Even when you choose the smallest villa or cottage in the Balivillas.com portfolio, you'll still enjoy your private swimming pool, your free air-conditioned car with a reliable driver, and trained house staff (including a good cook) to take care of all your needs around the clock. During the night, discrete security staff is present – to make you feel safe in unfamiliar surroundings but without intruding on your privacy.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MONEY

Balivillas.com (a department of Bali.com Ltd, see our Corporate Page) offers only top-quality villas in Bali at rates much lower than any other source. We are the only company which guarantees villa owners a year-round income, and in return we obtain much lower rates than anybody else. Therefore, Balivillas.com's exclusive SUPER VALUE Rates and LAST MINUTE Offers let you enjoy savings of about 30% compared to rental rates offered by others for the same quality of accommodation. (Most villas in our portfolio are actually managed by Balivillas.com to guarantee our high standard of service.)

Also remember that (if you compare the cost with a hotel vacation) when you stay at a private villa you'll save US$40 to US$80 per person per day on "extras". Hotel prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner, snacks and drinks, mini bar, laundry, telephone, Internet access, fax, and Bali's 21% tax & service charge add up quickly, and these "extras" can easily double your bill. This will cost even more if you travel with kids.

If you stay at one of our villas, the ingredients for your meals and the beverages (beer, wine, champagne, spirits, etc) you request are bought at wholesale price and charged at cost without mark-up. The preparation of your meals and all other services such as laundry are already included in your rental fee.

Other substantial savings include spa & beauty treatments offered at many villas free or at nominal cost. And — whichever villa you choose — you enjoy the FREE use of an air-conditioned car with a reliable driver during your whole stay. Gasoline is included in your rental rate, too, and so is high-speed Internet access!

Therefore, when you take all the expenses of a hotel vacation into account, the "luxury" of renting a private villa through Balivillas.com will turn out to be even cheaper than staying at a resort or any boutique hotel!

HOW CAN WE BE SO SURE YOU'LL LIKE YOUR VILLA?

Balivillas.com's portfolio includes only about 30 selected villas in various categories and in different areas of Bali, and we recommend only those villas which really suit your needs once you have given us your requirements and preferences.

If you discuss a rental directly with a villa owner, he'll always try to convince you to rent HIS villa. On the other hand, Balivillas.com's top priority is to find you a villa which fully meets YOUR expectations and requirements.

When you read the villa descriptions on the Balivillas.com web site, you'll notice that even our lowest priced villas are very comfortable high-quality homes which would be advertised by their owners and other agents as "luxury villas". (We've even seen agents listing villas which don't exist! Please be careful when booking on the Internet and look at "How to Select the Perfect Villa for Your Bali Holiday".)

At Balivillas.com we are quite modest and down-to-earth. For a start, we reject over 90% of the villas offered to us as they don't meet our quality standards, and if we do include a villa in our portfolio, we tell you everything about it before you make a decision.

That's because we have been in this business since 1992, and we know when you are here in Bali we have to deal with any complaints you may have. Therefore, we believe it's best to avoid potential problems right from the start! Please click here to read comments from recent guests.
