This year, the rare and meaningful alignment of Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, and Lebaran Holiday offers a unique opportunity for reflection and togetherness. At AYANA Bali, the hotel’s Sacred Silence of Bali package offers guests to enjoy the meditative power of Nyepi, a day that promotes renewal and rejuvenation, while deepening their understanding of Balinese culture through curated programs from March 28-30, 2025. The celebration continues with Eid al-Fitr on March 31, 2025 for a joyful togetherness with family. For guests seeking a nature-inspired retreat, AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach offers a getaway into the untamed beauty of Komodo National Park.
Nyepi at AYANA Bali
Taking place from March 28 to 30, 2025, the experience invites guests to embrace peace, reflection, and renewal in a serene and luxurious setting. As the island prepares for Nyepi, AYANA Bali celebrates Pengerupukan Day on March 28, 2025, with an exciting Ogoh-Ogoh Parade, where guests can watch the procession of large effigies representing the battle between good and evil. This year’s Ogoh-Ogoh will include two larger-than-life figures: Angkeran Durmata, symbolizing greed and arrogance, and Basuki Amogasidi, representing wisdom and balance. In addition, families with children can take part in a kids' Ogoh-Ogoh activity, where they will decorate mini-effigies and participate in a fun parade.
On the sacred day of Nyepi on March 29, 2025, guests at AYANA Bali will experience a day of complete silence, broken only by activities that help center the mind and spirit. The Healing Meditation session offers a serene space for reflection, while stargazing provides an opportunity to embrace the beauty of the night sky, undisturbed by light pollution. Guests can also enjoy a screening of the short animated film "Tirta", which highlights Bali’s environmental awareness and the spiritual importance of water. Following Nyepi, Ngembak Geni day on March 30, 2025, is a time of celebration, renewal, and social connection. At AYANA Bali, guests can join in a Lamak Wish Ceremony, where they write down their hopes and wishes for the year on decorative Lamak mats, which will then be ceremoniously offered during a group ceremony.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of Bali’s spiritual traditions, The SAKA Museum—AYANA Bali’s cultural gem and the center of this year’s Nyepi celebration—hosts special events to enrich guests' knowledge. One day before Nyepi, a special guided tour led by Dr. Judith E. Bosnak, the museum director, offers visitors insight into the sacred Balinese concept of Akasa and its vital role in the island’s spiritual life. Akasa encompasses meanings such as ‘stillness,’ ‘space,’ and ‘emptiness,’ reflecting the contemplative and introspective essence of the Nyepi Day celebrations.
