AYANA Bali invites guests to experience for themselves the sacred stillness that characterises Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, this March.

Taking place from between the 28th and 30th March, the Sacred Silence of Bali, a Nyepi Experience at AYANA Bali, offers peace, reflection, and renewal in a serene and luxurious setting. 

On the sacred day of Nyepi on 29th March, guests at AYANA Bali will experience a day of complete silence, broken only by activities that help center the mind and spirit. 

At AYANA Bali, guests can experience profound stillness through various activities designed to help them connect with their inner selves. 

Resort general manager Giordano Fagioli said of the upcoming event: “We are delighted to offer a truly unique experience at AYANA Bali this year, with the celebration of Nyepi. This moment provides the perfect opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and bond with loved ones, all while enjoying the tranquility of Bali’s beautiful surroundings or the pristine nature of Komodo National Park. Whether you choose to stay at AYANA Bali or Komodo, or both, we are excited to share a transformative experience with all our guests during this special season.”

The spectacle of Pengerupakan Day

As the island prepares for Nyepi, AYANA Bali celebrates Pengerupukan Day on 28th March 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 Ogoh-Ogoh: 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.

The art of meditation

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. 

During the day, Guided Walks through AYANA Farm will give guests the chance to connect with the natural surroundings, offering a peaceful way to appreciate Bali’s lush landscapes.

The final day of the Nyepi celebration, Ngembak Geni on 30th March, marks the end of the period of reflection and a time for reunion, renewal, and joyous celebration. 

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. 

Families can also participate in the Balinese Dress-Up and Dance activity, and have the chance to don traditional Balinese attire and join in a fun dance lesson, embracing the festive energy of Ngembak Geni.
