Shhhh… It’s Nyepi
For the ultimate quiet escape, retreat to Uluwatu during Nyepi when the whole island shuts down and goes silent for 24 hours. Enjoy the colourful ogoh-ogoh parade held on the eve of Nypei to banish evil spirits. Then, as the Balinese spend a day silently in prayer and introspection, experience your own path to inner peace and balance with activities such as yoga and meditation.

Indulge your inner foodie
Uluwatu is home to an eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and bars, and is a great destination for sampling the diversity of Indonesian cuisine. Here your taste buds can journey around the archipelago as you enjoy authentic Indonesian dishes such as Nasi Padang, Balinese Babi Guling and Javanese Nasi Campur, whether dining at Uluwatu’s local warungs or in a casually sophisticated restaurant such as The Warung at Alila Villas Uluwatu.
