🗞️ Today’s Highlights: Tabanan’s Nuanu Creative City Opens Up Strategically, Welcoming a New Public Park Landmark This Summer
- CEO Confirms ‘Nuanu Park’ to Open Within Weeks, Creating a More Accessible, Barrier-Free Public Space: Located along the coast north of Canggu, the sprawling 44-hectare green tech and art hub—Nuanu Creative City—has announced the official opening of a new public park, ‘Nuanu Park,’ this summer, serving as the first stop for visitors. In an interview, Nuanu CEO Lev Kroll stated that with the recent completion of Luna Beach Club, Aurora Media Park, and the Southern Hemisphere’s first wolf sanctuary lodge, the new green space aims to make the creative city ‘more open, everyday-friendly, and accessible to the public,’ shedding its past image of being overly serious, closed-off, or highly commercialized.
- 2026 Bali International Photography Festival (FOTO Bali) Now Underway at Nuanu: As a strategic prelude to this summer’s grand opening, Nuanu Creative City is currently hosting the island’s only major international photography event—the 2026 FOTO Bali Festival (running from June 3 to 7). This year, the event has garnered significant international attention, receiving nearly 700 submissions from photographers across 80 countries. A renowned curatorial team has selected 36 top artists from 24 nations to showcase their work under the theme ‘Afterimage’ throughout the park. Daily entry tickets start at an affordable 50,000 IDR, which already includes access to Nuanu’s grounds, making it a top cultural pick for travelers exploring Tabanan in early June.
