At the heart of this year’s celebrations is the Rasa Nusa Festive Dinner – a sensory culinary journey across Indonesia. The curated menu showcases signature dishes from the archipelago, such as Lawar Cumi, Sate Lilit, and Ayam Goreng Konje, highlighting the rich diversity of regional flavors. Each course is paired with stories and visuals that trace Indonesia’s islands, turning the meal into a cultural exploration. On select evenings, live Rindik bamboo music adds a soothing Balinese rhythm. Guests can also enjoy a festive toast with loloh cemcem, a herbal Balinese drink symbolizing renewal, and welcome 2026 with Putri Mandi, a colorful sweet celebrating purity and new beginnings.
Throughout the resort, Balinese-inspired festive decorations create an atmosphere of warmth and beauty. Guests are greeted by a gate adorned with handwoven ornaments and vibrant Flower Gebogans, while hands-on workshops invite participation in local artistry. Visitors can craft Tamiang and Canang offerings, or join the Balinese Nengajo activity to write New Year wishes in Balinese script and color serene Ubud scenes.
HOSHINOYA Bali’s festive season celebrates Balinese traditions that connect generations through dance and music. Young guests can join Kids’ Balinese Dance Learning sessions, while evenings feature the lively Janger Dance Performance on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, symbolizing harmony and renewal. The night on New Year’s Eve concludes with Toshikoshi Soba, a Japanese dish representing the cutting away of misfortune—bridging Balinese and Japanese cultures in true HOSHINOYA style.
