If you’re visiting the island this March, especially between the 29th and 30th, you will witness a total stillness as the Balinese welcome the Day of Silence, commonly known as Nyepi. On this sacred day, the people of the island perform time-honoured rituals at their dwellings with no lights nor noise—away from mundane pursuits, from the dawn of 29 March to the next day. As a visitor, you are welcome to experience and pay respect to this spiritual event at these hotels and resorts in Bali with their Nyepi offerings and disconnect from the worldly bustle while partaking in myriads of cultural activities.

Crafted by the resort’s team, these striking effigies represent negative energies and will be burned in a symbolic act of purification. As dusk falls, a balancing sound healing session at 5pm prepares guests for the Day of Silence.
Embrace Nyepi’s serenity with sunrise yoga at COMO Beach Club lawn at 7am, followed by a guided meditation at 5pm in the yoga studio. On 30 March, the retreat concludes with Power Yoga at 8am, leaving guests feeling revitalised.
