Bali’s Best Places to Spend Nyepi Day 2023

The Dark Night - Nyepi day
The Dark Night - Bali

Nyepi Day, or Day of Silence, is a Hindu holiday celebrated in Bali, Indonesia.

It’s a New Year’s Day when the Balinese Hindus devote their entire lives to connecting more deeply with God through prayer, fasting, and meditation, as well as cleansing the island of the previous year’s misdeeds and bad omens, thus establishing a pure and positive year ahead. 

Starting from 22nd March at 6am to 23rd March 2023 at 6am, the island comes to a complete standstill and activities on the island come to a halt, including no lights and electricity, no traffic on the roads, no TV or radio, all shopping centres are closed, no tours or excursions, and no flights in or out of Bali on this day. This is also celebrated as a period of introspection and self-reflection. The Balinese and other residents avoid loud noises and the island becomes mysteriously quiet.

Don’t overthink about spending a day in silence. Hotels, villas, and resorts on the island urge anyone looking for a way to disconnect and find inner peace with special offers on the table. Here are Bali’s best places to spend Nyepi Day in 2023.
