‘Be still. The quieter you become, the more you can hear.’
– Ram Dass
💫 Celebrate Nyepi, the Balinese New Year with us
Do you ever take some time out from life and have a slow day to stay in, maybe read, enjoy the silence, catch up on sleep and just take a little break from the rest of the world? Well, imagine that it’s not just you doing it- there’s four million people and a whole island coming to a standstill with you. That’s exactly why Nyepi, the Balinese day of silence, is so powerful.
Nyepi is New Year’s Day in the Balinese Saka calendar and a day when the whole of Bali takes a little time out from the world to reflect and reset. To experience it yourself is truly transformational.
Traditionally on Nyepi, there’s no electricity or light, no work or physical activity, no traveling, and no entertainment. It’s a stark contrast to the previous days, filled with ceremonies and all sorts of loud celebrations. On the eve of Nyepi, every village unveils its Ogoh-Ogoh, beautifully colored statues of mythological beasts and demons that they’ve worked hard for weeks to design out of bamboo, papier maché, and cloth. They parade the effigies around the villages in a procession filled with music and joy and then burn them to release any evil spirits. And after the celebrations comes the silence of Nyepi. All you hear is nature, nothing else stirs. There are no boats on the horizon, no planes overhead, no people walking around busily from one place to the other, no businesses are open, and no cars coming and going.
It’s a day of introspection, meditation, and prayer, the perfect time to allow your nervous system to settle and your mind to be still.
Of course, if you spend the day of Nyepi in a resort, you’ll still be looked after, well fed, and can walk around the gardens, just not out into the street. Chat with your family and friends, play games and just be together, take a nap, listen to nature, look at the stars, and feel your body unwind in the magical calm this day brings. This year, Nyepi will take place between 6 am on Saturday, March 29th, and 6 am on Sunday, March 30th, and even if you can’t make it to Bali this year, we invite you to set the day aside, wherever you are, to celebrate your own day of silence and reflection.
🌺 Enjoy Spring in Bali
As the weather changes and spring starts to unfurl in the northern hemisphere, there are still plenty of cold, rainy days, and people looking for a relaxing break after the winter months. With tropical temperatures and lush green scenery all year round, Bali is the perfect place to book yourself a retreat into wellness and to top up your Vitamin D – here at Siddhartha, we’re in the ideal location for just that.
Fringed by the warm Indian Ocean and at the foot of Mount Agung, tucked away from the rest of the world, our corner of northeast Bali is the perfect place to retreat from it all and sink into deep relaxation. Our whole resort is designed to soothe your system and bring you serenity. From our well-tended gardens filled with palm trees that stretch until the edge of the sea to our carefully designed bungalows that give you the space and privacy you need to unwind, or our iconic ying-yang infinity pool where you can take a refreshing dip between chapters or after your dive.
If you want to truly indulge your senses, visit our luxurious Six Elements Spa and let our expert therapists relieve all your tension and revitalize your body and mind. We’ve crafted a selection of treatments following ancient wisdoms and the principles of six elements; air, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, designed to bring your entire life force or prana into balance. Or you can go for a traditional Balinese massage, reflexology, or one of our beauty treatments; whatever you need to relax and recharge.
And what better place to disconnect than floating in the ocean? There are so many species of fish and critters to see, that you’ll never get bored of Bali’s spectacular biodiversity. As well as thriving reefs, we have plenty of wrecks to show you or can even take you on a day trip to see the manta rays in nearby Nusa Penida. Whether you’re already certified, want to sign up for a course, or love exploring from the surface with a snorkel, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to make the most out of your aquatic adventures.
If you’re dreaming of a holiday filled with underwater adventures, indulgent pampering, or a perfect mix of both, we invite you to explore the special offers we’ve crafted for you!
