What do you get when you combine 70 years of diplomacy, a Polish visionary, and the vibrant spirit of Bali? You get the Bali Indah Cultural Park—Europe’s largest Balinese cultural center, now open in Slupsk City, Poland. And it’s not just a spectacle—it’s a whole movement.

This bold initiative is rewriting what international cooperation looks like. Set on three hectares (with plans to grow to 15!), the park brings authentic Balinese architecture, temples, traditional homes, theaters, art galleries, cuisine, and wellness experiences into the heart of Europe.

But beyond the wow factor lies a story of people, persistence, and purpose.

“It is a great honor to welcome you today at the inauguration of the Mini Bali Cultural Park in Dolina Charlotty, Słupsk — a moment that holds special meaning as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and Poland,” said the Chargé d’Affaires of the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw during the inauguration.

The dream began with Mr. Mirosław Wawrowski, Indonesia’s Honorary Consul in Gdańsk. With the support of the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw, what started as a vision turned into an international collaboration involving visits to Indonesia—covering Sumba, Bali, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Lombok—and deep engagement with local culture, traditions, and industries.

“This park is more than a cultural landmark. It is a symbol of friendship and shared vision — a beautiful manifestation of how two countries, though geographically distant, can be closely connected through culture and collaboration,” the CDA emphasized.

This wasn’t a top-down project—it was people-to-people diplomacy in action. From virtual meetings and art exports to hosting Indonesian leaders like the Vice Governor of Bali in 2023 and Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno in 2024, the Embassy has been all-in, nurturing this idea from its roots.

Now the result is here: A dazzling, one-of-a-kind cultural destination that’s already capturing the imagination of young creatives, students, and travelers across Europe.

And the timing couldn’t be better.

“Last year, Indonesia welcomed over 53,907 Polish tourists — the highest number ever, placing Poland in the top 9 among European visitors to Indonesia. We hope this park will further boost interest in Indonesian destinations and deepen people-to-people connections,” the CDA added.

Minister of Culture Fadli Zon also highlighted the opportunity for Poland to dive deeper into Indonesia’s booming creative economy, “Investing in culture is investing in the future. Indonesia’s creative industries are among the fastest-growing, and we welcome Polish partners to grow with us.”

Beyond tourism, the initiative is set to unlock educational exchanges, cultural collaborations, and new creative ventures for both nations’ youth. In other words: this isn’t just about showcasing Bali—it’s about building bridges, launching ideas, and igniting futures.

“Let the Mini Bali Cultural Park be a lasting symbol of Indonesia–Poland friendship and a beacon for deeper economic and cultural cooperation in the years to come,” the CDA concluded. “Now, Indonesia is closer than ever. Though we are 16,000 kilometers apart, everyone — not only in Poland but across Europe — can now experience the essence of Bali, right here at Dolina Charlotty Resort.”

So if you're into culture, travel, creative industries, or just want to witness a global friendship in full bloom, Mini Bali is calling.
