Where to Eat, Celebrate, and Gather
The Bali festive season has a special kind of warmth. Long dinners by the sea, brunches that turn into afternoons, candles glowing through tropical nights — it’s a Christmas that feels both vibrant and easy. Restaurants across the island roll out creative menus, resorts host celebrations that bring everyone together, and the whole island settles into a joyful holiday rhythm without ever feeling rushed. Here’s where to celebrate Christmas 2025 across Bali.
