Nyepi, the Balinese Hindu New Year, is approaching and the island is getting ready for the celebrations surrounding it. With religious ceremonies and colourful, lively parades, the atmosphere across the island will be vibrant and festive, except for the Day of Silence itself, which is a time for introspection and meditation.

For the Balinese, Nyepi is the most important day on their calendar (see feature ‘Day of Silent Luxury’). For foreigners, it is a good opportunity to completely unwind and to take advantage of The Villas Bali Hotel & Spa’s special discounts on villas, spa packages and meals.
