Nyepi Day: When Bali Turns Silent and Comes to a Standstill For a Day!

Observed annually on March 11th according to the Balinese Saka calendar, Nyepi Day, also known as the Day of Silence, marks the beginning of the Balinese New Year. This sacred occasion is a time for spiritual reflection, purification, and renewal. Throughout the 24 hours, the island of Bali observes a complete cessation of activity. Residents remain indoors, abstaining from work, entertainment, and even artificial light. The streets are deserted, and a sense of profound peace descends upon the island. This introspective practice allows individuals to cleanse themselves of negativity and usher in a fresh start for the new year. Visitors can experience for themselves this moment where time stands still while enjoying stays at Uluwatu resorts the likes of Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resorts.
