Where to Celebrate New Year in Bali?

Every year, tourists in Bali face the same question: what to do on New Year’s Eve if you don’t want a standard scenario. If on New Year's Eve, you don’t want to sit in a hotel without a plan, scramble to find the perfect party, or spend time organizing during the busiest period on the island, we've gathered six of the most interesting New Year travel options.

From a festive dinner on the ocean shore or a secluded weekend in the jungle to trips to neighboring islands and volcano hiking — a guide to New Year adventures that are ready to book at the best prices this year.

1. New Year’s Dinner in Bali

A win-win option is a ready-made festive program for the evening of December 31st at one of the island's hotels. It suits those who want to greet the New Year at a table, while also getting a festive atmosphere: live music or DJ sets, festive menu, welcome cocktails, fireworks at midnight, and the opportunity to be part of an evening event without worrying about the details. Choose an elegant dinner with an ocean view and acoustic performance, a family gala evening at the lagoon with a children's area and fireworks, or a festive dinner with a choice of four restaurants: from signature Indonesian cuisine to European gastronomy or Chinese tea ceremony. We've got everything prepared for you — all that remains is to book in time and wait for the magical night.

2. Trip to the North of the Island

If it feels like the southern coast is particularly crowded during the New Year holidays, take a short trip and discover the north of Bali. A busy but not exhausting program will introduce you to a different rhythm of the island. There won't be large-scale parties here, but you will see the most picturesque waterfall of the island — Sekumpul, swim with dolphins at dawn, and relax in hot springs. Gift yourself a true adventure for the New Year!

3. New Year’s Weekend in a Premium Hotel

A ready format for those who want to spend New Year's without hassle, relocations, and self-organization. A mini-vacation for a couple of days with accommodation in a premium hotel and a festive program already included in the itinerary. You can choose between a large event at a five-star resort on the Nusa Dua coast, where you'll enjoy a vibrant party and countdown right on the ocean shore, or an elegant dinner with a set menu for two on a cliffside among the tropical jungles of Ubud. Both programs are only available on New Year’s Eve. Limited seating — book in advance and arrange the holiday you dreamed of.

4. New Year on the Paradise Islands of Gili

Spending the first days of January on a small island in the middle of the ocean is the best way to unwind and start the year without hustle. On the Gili Islands, there are no cars and noise, only bicycles, sandy paths, and crystal-clear water for the most unforgettable snorkeling of your life. Gili Meno – the smallest of the three islands. It welcomes you with empty beaches and a romantic atmosphere. This small island is the best place for seclusion for newlyweds and couples in love. On Gili Air, you will find perfect conditions for snorkeling: rich sea life, 3500 species of fish, turtles, and turquoise water. Both options are suitable for those who want to greet 2026 without loud events but with the feeling that it started in the most suitable place.

5. Journey to the Volcanoes of Java

The most unusual option for those who want to spend New Year’s on the move, is a tour to the active volcanoes of Bromo and Ijen on the island of Java. It's not a classic New Year’s format, but that's what makes it appealing. The program includes: a night transfer, sunrise at the viewing point with a view of the Bromo crater, a climb to the sulfur lake of the Ijen volcano, alien landscapes, Martian scenery, and the feeling that you’ve ended up in a completely different world. January 1st like that will definitely not pass by unnoticed and will remain in your memory for a long time!

6. A Few Days on Nusa Penida

If you want a change of scenery but don't want to travel far from Bali, head to Nusa Penida. It's a good option for New Year’s days if you feel that the most interesting thing isn't the festive night, but what happens around it. In two to three days, you'll manage to see Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong natural pool, and other locations that people travel from all over the world to see. Spend the New Year days actively and richly in a new place for yourself.

No matter which format you choose: a festive dinner, a trip to the north, neighboring islands, or a rich adventure — holidays in Bali can easily become truly special. The offers are available for booking only during the New Year period — at current seasonal prices. Choose the itinerary that suits your mood best — and greet New Year 2026 without unnecessary organization. We’ll take care of everything for you.
