Nyepi is also a perfect opportunity to connect with Balinese culture through its sumptuous local cuisine. The Nyepi Retreat package includes a one-time dinner for two at Rimba by Ayana’s dramatic amphitheater venue Kampoeng Bali on March 10. Here guests can savor a cultural feast for the senses and be mesmerized by a sunset procession and traditional dance and music performances.
As the island settles into silence on March 11 and the Balinese observe the Nyepi rituals of fasting and meditation, guests can focus on their own meditative journey with Ayana’s thoughtfully curated wellness activities. These include sunrise and sunset yoga, guided walks through the tranquil gardens of Ayana Farm, and group sound baths to harness the healing power of resonant sound waves.
The Nyepi Retreat also includes a one-time complimentary Thalassotherapy Treatment at the Aquatonic Pool of award-winning Ayana Spa for two persons. A warm seawater labyrinth heated to the optimum temperature overlooking the Indian Ocean, the Aquatonic Pool rebalances mineral deficiencies and stimulates blood circulation, tonicity and muscular rehabilitation.
As the sun sets and the island descends into complete darkness, the night sky is filled with the brightest stars of the entire year. A true highlight of Nyepi for residents and travelers alike, guests are invited to join Ayana’s stargazing event at 8pm at Rimba Lawn to witness the wonder of the sky blanketed in stars.
“Ayana Bali’s Enchanting Nyepi Retreat is an immersive experience that invites guests to deeply connect with Balinese culture and this truly magical time of the year,” said Giordano Faggioli, General Manager of Ayana Resort.
“With Saka Museum as our cultural hub, this year’s Ogoh-ogoh parade and the special performance reaffirm our commitment to celebrating and preserving the extraordinary culture of this island. Join us on this journey to strengthen your connection with Bali and experience the profound meaning of Nyepi.”
