If it is your first visit to Bali, you may wonder what is Nyepi Day in Bali. Nyepi in Bali is also known as the Day of Silence. During this special holiday, the entire island observes silence for 24 hours. It means no loud noises, no vehicles on the roads, and no lights at night.
As a tourist, you have to obey Nyepi in Bali rules. First, you are prohibited from going outside. Then, you have to keep quiet. So, you should stay in your hotel and may think that it will be boring. But you can do these fun activities to kill the boredom.
1. Enjoy Hotel Facilities
If you book a hotel in the city center, you can still do some activities outside the hotel room. But make sure that your activities do not cause any noise.
Some hotels usually offer special packages during Nyepi to cater to the guests’ comfort. Use this chance to indulge in hotel facilities such as a gym, sauna, jacuzzi, or pool. Also, invite your children to do some entertaining activities at the kid’s club.
2. Book a Spa Treatment
If you do not have any idea what to do during Nyepi in Bali, just book a soothing spa treatment. However, you can only book the treatment at your hotel.
Despite its beautiful landscape, Bali is also renowned for its world-class spa. Rejuvenate your body and mind by trying Balinese massage or other wellness treatments. Alternatively, opt for a rejuvenating facial or body scrub to relieve stress.
3. Read a Book
During Nyepi, the internet will be shut down. So, you must do something other than scroll through your social media or watch online movies.
It becomes an ideal opportunity to read your favorite books. Just curl up in your bed and start exploring the story. If you do not have any books, download some ebooks a day before Nyepi.
Also, stock up on some snacks because all stores are closed, and you cannot go outside.
4. Play Some Games
Playing card or board games is one of the exciting activities during Nyepi in Bali. It will be a fantastic way to spend time indoors with your friends or family. But be sure that you do not make any noise when playing games.
Many kinds of games you can play with other family members, such as Monopoly, Poker, or Puzzles. Besides, it is also possible to play offline games on your smartphone.
5. Stargazing
It is the best activity you can do at night. During Nyepi, no lights are allowed. It means there is no light pollution. As a result, the night sky transforms into a breathtaking spectacle of stars.
Step out onto your balcony to witness the beauty of the night sky in Nyepi. But make sure that your hotel guidelines allow you to do it.
By embracing the spirit of Nyepi in Bali, you can transform this Silent Day into a memorable experience. After Nyepi, start your journey of relaxation at Mari Beach Club. Located in Batu Belig coastal area, this beach club is a great place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Bali Beach.
