For immediate release – Merusaka Nusa Dua is delighted to invite guests to join in the island’s most revered celebration—Nyepi, the Balinese New Year. This year, the resort offers a special opportunity to experience the vibrant cultural traditions of Bali in a unique and meaningful way.
The festivities will kick off with an exhilarating Ogoh-Ogoh performance on Friday, March 28, 2025, start at 11:00 AM, where guests can witness the majestic, larger-than-life sculptures paraded through the resort grounds. These colourful and intricate figures, created to symbolize the banishment of evil spirits, will be an unforgettable highlight of the sacred cultural traditions.
The tradition will then transition into the Day of Silence/Nyepi on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Nyepi is a significant tradition in Balinese Hinduism. It marks the Balinese New Year, a time for self-reflection and spiritual purification. On this day, all activities on the island are halted, including work, entertainment, and travel, in order to create a peaceful environment for meditation and contemplation. The “Catur Brata Penyepian” (Four Prohibitions) during Nyepi are: no lighting of fires, no working, no traveling, and no entertainment. It is a time to reflect on personal growth and the environment.
During Nyepi, Merusaka Nusa Dua will host a buffet dinner in the Mengiat Ballroom on 29 March 2025 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. For those not booking the Silence Day Room Promotion, the dinner is available for IDR 500,000 net per person, and includes a delicious buffet of traditional and international dishes, along with free-flow iced tea and iced water.
“We are excited to celebrate Nyepi and share the significance of this sacred day with our guests,” said Ian Cameron, General Manager at Merusaka Nusa Dua. “Nyepi is a time for reflection and connection with the environment, and we hope our guests will enjoy the beauty of this tradition and the special events we’ve planned.”
