2025 Bali Nyepi Day
On March 29, 2025, Bali will welcome its Nyepi Day, which is the first day of the Saka calendar new year! 🌟 On this day, the entire island of Bali will fall into complete silence and stillness, as if the whole world has pressed the pause button, offering you a perfect opportunity for self-reflection, spiritual contemplation, and rejuvenation of body and mind! 💖
🌈 Imagine, within 24 hours, no jumping flames, no vehicle noise, no busy work, and no entertainment distractions. Bali will transform into a tranquil sanctuary, allowing you to deeply feel its essence! 🛕
🌿 At this special moment, Ayana Bali will bring you the "Bali Sacred Serenity Day—Nyepi Experience," letting you enjoy this rare peace and reflection in luxury and tranquility! 🏨💫
🎉 On March 28, the day before Nyepi, Ayana will hold a grand celebration ceremony and present an ultra-cool Ogoh-Ogoh parade! 👀 You will have the chance to witness the parade of giant statues symbolizing the battle between good and evil, experiencing the unique charm of Balinese culture! 👹
💪 This year’s Ogoh-Ogoh parade will feature two lifelike giant statues: Angkeran Durmata, the embodiment of greed and arrogance, and Basuki Amogasidi, the messenger of wisdom and balance! 😲
💖 There is also a special children’s Ogoh-Ogoh parade activity for families, where kids can decorate their own mini statues and enjoy an educational and fun experience while feeling the charm of Balinese culture! 👶🎨
🧘♀️ Finally, March 29 arrives—Nyepi Day! On this day, Ayana’s guests will immerse themselves in complete silence, with only activities that help calm the mind and elevate the spirit breaking the stillness!
💫 You can join healing meditation classes to deeply feel inner peace and balance; or participate in stargazing activities to appreciate the vastness and serene beauty of the starry sky free from light pollution!
🌌✨ There’s also the animated short film "Tirta" waiting for you to watch, to experience Bali’s environmental awareness and the spiritual significance of water! 🎬💧
🌿 During the day, you can follow a guide for a walk around Ayana’s farm, feeling the healing power of nature and quietly enjoying Bali’s lush scenery! 🌱
🌺 On March 30, the arrival of Ngembak Geni marks the end of the reflection period. You can participate in the Lamak prayer ceremony, writing your hopes and wishes for the new year on beautifully crafted Lamak prayer mats and offering them during a collective ritual! 🙏
