Beachfront Fireworks, Hotel Glamour & Everything in Between
New Year’s Eve in Bali comes in many forms. You can watch fireworks with your feet in the sand, dress up for a hotel ballroom countdown, or dance until sunrise on a cliff above the ocean. However you like to welcome the new year, there’s a celebration that fits.
Here’s our Bali Food & Travel edit of where to spend your final night of 2025 — from high-energy parties to refined dinners and meaningful cultural moments.
Motel Mexicola – Bali’s Biggest Fiesta Across Two Venues
If your ideal New Year’s Eve is loud, colourful, and completely unrestrained, Motel Mexicola is throwing not one but two of its famously chaotic fiestas, in both Seminyak and Canggu. From 7PM to midnight, both venues unleash five full hours of unlimited food and drinks, turning the night into a free-flowing feast that fuels the nonstop dancing, chanting, and neon-lit madness that Motel Mexicola does better than anyone.
Expect technicolour décor, booming Latin beats, cheeky performers, confetti storms, and the iconic table-dancing moments. The atmosphere is loud in the best way possible, sweaty, social, and built around pure collective joy, with every room, hallway, and bar corner pulsing with energy. VIP tables are available in both venues for groups who want their own semi-controlled slice of the madness, but truthfully, the whole place becomes one giant party.
If you want a NYE that’s memorable, and bursting with unapologetic fiesta spirit, Motel Mexicola delivers a night that doesn’t just welcome 2026, it throws it a full-blown, tequila-soaked parade.
Savaya – NYE 2025, From Sunset to Sunrise
Nine Days of Celebration Above Uluwatu
Savaya approaches New Year’s Eve as part of a longer celebration, with programming running across several days and peaking on the final night of the year. As the sun sets over the Uluwatu cliffs, the venue fills with a global crowd drawn by international DJs, large-scale production, and its open-air setting above the ocean.
The night unfolds steadily, with the music guiding the experience rather than rushing it. By the time midnight arrives, the dancefloor is fully locked in, carried by sound, scale, and setting.
Savaya’s New Year’s Eve is designed for those who want to commit to the night and let it carry them well into 2026.
