FIVE-star luxury resort Conrad Bali is ringing in the holiday season with the return of its wildly successful Festive Arcade, alongside a lively program of tropical festivities including creative workshops and culinary delights.
According to Yoan Irma, Commercial Director of Conrad Bali said although Bali is renowned for its vibrant traditional culture, the island is also home to world-class contemporary artists, designers, and jewelers, who will take center stage at this year’s Festive Arcade.
“Running each weekend from 10th to 25th December, the pop-up maker’s market will feature more than 20 local artisans and creative brands, enabling guests to experience the best of Bali’s burgeoning contemporary arts scene and take-home unique gifts for loved ones. From stylish homewares, artisanal sweets and natural skin care to elegant jewelry and eye-catching ceramics, the Festive Arcade will maintain its strong focus on artisanship, sustainability, ethical practices, and minimal waste,” she said.
For adults and children eager to express their creativity, and for those interested in exploring the captivating world of natural wellness products, the resort’s diverse range of workshops will ensure every participant can embrace the festive spirit. From bath bomb and perfume making to hand building pottery and painting for adults, and an entertaining selection of crafty sessions for kids, guests of all ages will discover ample opportunities to connect with their creative side.
“Also awaiting guests of Conrad Bali this holiday season is a heartwarming array of Christmas and New Year’s functions and festive flavors. From a tree lighting ceremony to a visit from Santa, as well as a Christmas party especially for little ones at Kura Kura Kids Club, guests who have chosen to celebrate at the resort will be surrounded by Christmas cheer and fabulous feasts,” Irma remarked.
She explained that those bringing in 2024 at Conrad Bali will also find an exquisite selection of New Year’s Eve culinary creations, with a choice of a beachfront buffet or six-course international set menu. As a proud member of the Hilton Hotels Group, we are committed to championing and cultivating opportunities for local independent artisans and small businesses.
“Throughout the year Conrad Bali celebrates the island’s vibrant living heritage through our immersive cultural experiences and theme nights, but for our festive program, the spotlight is firmly on the region’s contemporary creatives. Our valued guests have the opportunity to experience a carefully curated selection of leading local brands, all while contributing to Bali’s creative economy,” Yoan Irma concluded.
