Pengerupukan | 18 March
Held on the day before Nyepi, this is a vibrant Balinese ritual marking the transition from the old year to the new. Communities traditionally parade Ogoh Ogoh, intricately crafted demon effigies, through the streets accompanied by the powerful rhythmic sounds of Baleganjur, a dynamic form of Balinese gamelan music. With interlocking drums, gongs and cymbals, Baleganjur creates an exhilarating soundscape that energizes the procession and symbolizes the driving away of negative forces to welcome renewal and harmony. On 18 March 2026, guests are invited to join our annual Ogoh Ogoh parade and experience the artistry, music and communal energy of this meaningful New Year celebration.

Nyepi | 19 March
The Day of Silence, is Bali’s sacred pause, observed once a year as the island enters a moment of complete stillness. For 24 hours, daily activities come to a halt, lights are dimmed and the outside world gently fades away. This profound tradition invites reflection, balance and renewal, allowing both the island and its people to reset and begin the new year with clarity, intention and inner harmony. On 19 March, guests are kindly asked to remain within the resort throughout the day. From morning until 18:00, we have curated special activities to enhance your experience and guide you through this extraordinary day of introspection.
