Nyepi is the perfect time to disconnect from the chaos of daily life, recharge, relax, finally start reading a book, meditate, spend quality time with loved ones, or enjoy yourself. If the weather is favorable, you might witness millions of stars in the sky.
For those who prefer not to limit themselves to the villa or hotel area, consider a trip to neighboring islands where Nyepi is not celebrated —Gili Islands, Lombok, Komodo Islands. It's an excellent opportunity to fulfill your dream trip during the Day of Silence.
We've gathered the best options for spending Nyepi on the island and beyond. Whatever you choose, we wish you unforgettable moments and positive experiences!
Beyond Bali
Gili Islands
The three small Gili Islands - Trawangan, Air, and Meno, east of Bali, are the most popular destination known as the "Bali Maldives".
Here, a relaxed atmosphere, white sand, and turquoise ocean await. Travelers come for snorkeling, diving, or simply to unwind and gain new experiences.
Lombok Island
Lombok offers a different culture and climate, with untouched nature and empty lineups for surfers. Traveling around Lombok is suitable for those who love to explore the unexplored and plan their routes independently.
Sumbawa Island
Embraced by experienced surfers and lovers of extraordinary experiences, Sumbawa allows you to swim with whale sharks, gentle giants ranging from 7 to 20 meters in length, completely harmless to humans. Snorkeling alongside them will undoubtedly be among your most vivid memories.
Komodo Archipelago
One of the most beautiful places in Indonesia, the Komodo Islands, a UNESCO-protected national park, offer primitive and untouched landscapes, pink sand beaches, and an amazing underwater world.
The islands are renowned for their enormous Komodo dragons.
