Every December, Conrad Bali takes on a festive glow that feels uniquely its own, a blend of island elegance, creative energy and holiday warmth. For 2025, Festive Splendor returns as a month-long celebration that brings the season to life through art, flavour, culture and beachfront moments. From the moment guests arrive, the atmosphere hums with anticipation, from twinkling lights to the scent of festive treats drifting across the resort.
The Return of the Festive Arcade
The heart of the program is the Festive Arcade, back for its fourth year and held across select weekends - 6–7, 13–14 and 20–25 December. The Retail Village transforms into a vibrant artisan market featuring more than 15 local creators. Guests can browse handcrafted jewellery, eco-friendly skincare, homewares and contemporary art, or pause for a personal tarot reading with Mia Stelina. Additionally, hands-on workshops invite guests of all ages to create festive crafts, enriching the Arcade’s lively, eco-conscious atmosphere.
Seasonal Cocktails and Festive Sips
Throughout December, Conrad Bali’s mixologists elevate the season with Winter Wonderland Brews, a collection of Christmas-inspired cocktails and non-alcoholic creations available across all outlets. Think creamy arak-infused eggnog, mulled wine sours and citrus-spiced holiday signatures, festive classics reimagined with tropical charm.
Adding to the seasonal indulgence, the resort serves a Festive Afternoon Tea from 7-31 December: a beautifully crafted assortment of sweet and savoury bites that offers a tranquil mid-afternoon escape in the East Lobby Lounge.
As the month nears its end, the resort unveils its Countdown Elixirs, New Year’s Eve cocktails that range from bold coffee-cream blends to turmeric-gold tequila signatures and vibrant cosmopolitans, alongside botanical mocktails perfect for toasting fresh beginnings.
A Christmas to Savour
As Christmas Eve approaches, Conrad Bali settles into an atmospheric glow. At Suku Restaurant, the Christmas Eve Buffet becomes a generous feast of seafood, carved turkey, paella and festive favourites, accompanied by a heartfelt choir performance.
Those seeking a more intimate celebration can choose the five-course beachfront dinner at Eight Degrees South, a refined, wave-side experience crafted for couples and guests who prefer a quieter, more elegant Christmas Eve.
On Christmas Day, Suku Restaurant continues the celebrations with a lavish buffet dinner filled with festive favourites, the perfect setting for a joyful holiday gathering. A live choir adds a heartwarming touch to the evening, filling the restaurant with beloved Christmas carols and a warm, spirited glow.
Culture, Connection and New Year’s Eve
The days between Christmas and New Year continue with cultural touches, including a BBQ dinner paired with a captivating Kecak performance - firelight, chanting and storytelling merging into an unforgettable Balinese evening.
As 2025 draws to a close, the resort transitions into its New Year’s Eve celebrations. Guests can choose between a lively buffet at Suku, enhanced by a soulful saxophone trio, or a romantic five-course dinner at Eight Degrees South with acoustic music by the beach. Both experiences lead into the resort’s after-party at the East Lobby Lounge, culminating in a countdown and a spectacular fireworks display over the ocean.
Relax, Restore and Renew
For those seeking balance during the festivities, Conrad Spa offers the Meridian Harmony Massage throughout December, a 60-minute ritual blending meridian therapy and chakra alignment with Conrad’s exclusive IV Phase Infuse Oil. It’s a grounding moment of restoration before stepping into the new year.
A Holiday Season to Remember
With its thoughtful blend of artistry, culture, gastronomy and wellness, Festive Splendor 2025 offers a holiday experience that feels immersive, elegant and deeply memorable. Whether you come for the artisan markets, the festive cocktails, the beachfront feasts or the simple joy of ending the year by the sea, Conrad Bali delivers a celebration that feels genuinely magical.
