IT is all about personal renewal this Nyepi on 17th March 2018 at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali with a thoughtful program created to acknowledge the island’s annual Day of Silence.
Nyepi is the first day of the New Year in accordance to the Balinese Saka calendar. It is celebrated with 24 hours of inactivity and the entire island comes to a complete standstill. This follows an evening of festivity where giant monster effigies are paraded through the streets. The lead up to Nyepi involves time-honored rituals with offerings to appease evil spirits and restore balance to Bali for a fresh new start.
The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali presents an exclusive Nyepi package for guests looking to getaway and experience this unique holiday in luxurious surroundings. Rates start from just Rp1,800,000++ per room/per night to stay in a Deluxe Garden Room with a daily SuperFoodsRx breakfast for two adults and two children.
