Nyepi at The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali

On March 29, 2025, guests are invited to embrace the tranquility of Nyepi, Bali’s Day of Silence, a deeply spiritual and uniquely Balinese tradition marking the Çaka New Year.

Unlike the boisterous celebrations that typically herald a new year, Nyepi is a day of absolute quietude across the entire island. Following a period of vibrant purification rituals and dramatic processions, life on Bali comes to a complete standstill from midnight on March 28 until sunrise on March 30, 2025. During this time, the airport closes, businesses shut down, streets empty, and even lights are dimmed as the island. Instead, profound introspection is spotlighted.

Traditionally, Balinese Hindus dedicate Nyepi to fasting, meditation, and a complete cessation of worldly activities. This period of quietude is believed to trick malevolent spirits into believing the island is deserted, thus allowing for spiritual purification and renewal. Guests at The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali, are offered a unique chance to immerse themselves in this rare tranquility, whilst enjoying the resort’s renowned hospitality.

Cultural Immersion

In the days leading up to Nyepi, the resort will be providing privileged access to Bali’s most sacred ceremonies. On March 26, 2025, guests can witness the Melasti Purification Ritual, a procession where sacred temple relics are carried to the ocean for ritual cleansing. On March 28, 2025, the Ogoh-Ogoh Parade will present a spectacle of towering, hand-crafted demon effigies paraded through the streets with traditional gamelan music, symbolising the expulsion of negativity. The same day, the Tawur Agung Kesanga Ceremony, an island-wide ritual of offerings, aims to restore cosmic balance before the silence commences.

On Nyepi itself, The Oberoi Beach Resort, Bali, will become a sanctuary of unparalleled peace, allowing guests to truly disconnect and reconnect with themselves. Special offerings include Balinese Wellness Rituals, featuring deeply restorative spa treatments such as the signature Balinese Retreat, Island Aromatic, and Mandi Lulur therapies, designed to harmonise body and mind. Guests can also savour exquisite Nyepi Dining Experiences, enjoying a specially curated menu of Balinese culinary traditions, featuring nourishing, locally sourced ingredients served under the gentle glow of candlelight.

As the island gradually awakens from its day of silence at sunrise on March 30, guests will witness a Bali that feels reborn—cleansed, refreshed, and deeply serene.
