at Four Seasons Resorts BaliNyepi: Embracing Stillness
at Four Seasons Resorts BaliCelebrate Nyepi, Silence Day in Bali, to welcome the Balinese New Year, at either of our two Resorts. Every year, many Balinese Hindus take a day to turn off all lights and sounds, stop traffic, desert worldly activities and meditate, allowing complete silence and serenity to reign over the island.
Nyepi Highlights

An integral part of Nyepi in Bali, the puppets represent evil spirits and are ritualistically burned to make room for peace and happiness in the year to come.

Nyepi is a beautiful reminder of balance. In stillness, we find peace and perspective. At Four Seasons Resorts Bali, we are honoured to share this sacred celebration with our guests – a unique moment to pause, reflect and reconnect, while experiencing the true heart of Bali.
