Nyepi, the Hindu New Year marked by a full day of silence, introspection, and purification, falls on Thursday, March 19, 2026 starting at 6:00 AM and ending at 6:00 AM on March 20 . At Amora Ubud Boutique Villas, this sacred occasion becomes an intimate and rejuvenating experience where tranquility, comfort and cultural immersion intertwine.

• Embracing the Sacred Tradition of Nyepi
  Nyepi is deeply spiritual, rooted in Balinese Hindu values that seek balance and harmony between the physical and metaphysical realms. This Day of Silence invites both locals and visitors to cease work, travel and even light creating a rare pause for reflection and renewal
• The Eve of Nyepi: Ogoh-Ogoh Parades & Purification Rituals
  On the eve of Nyepi, the island bursts with energy through ceremonies like Melasti where sacred objects are purified at the beach and the Ogoh-Ogoh parade, featuring giant effigies crafted to ward off evil spirits through vivid processions and symbolic noise
• Nyepi Day at Amora Ubud: Silence Becomes Sanctuary
  At Amora Ubud, guests are invited to fully embrace the serene atmosphere of Nyepi. Throughout the 24 hours, indulge in gentle activities such as:
  • Meditation, journaling, or reading in candle lit sanctuary
  • Rejuvenating spa treatments in near-silence
  • Soothing warm baths while rain softly falls
  • Stargazing under an unusually clear sky, free from ambient light
• A Respectful Pause: Observing Nyepi’s Core Tenets
  During Nyepi, four fundamental prohibitions “Catur Brata” must be honored:
  • Amati Geni: No lights or fire
  • Amati Karya: No work or labor
  • Amati Lelunganan: No travel
  • Amati Lelanguan: No entertainment or noise

Guest curtains are gently dimmed, guests are guided to keep volume at whisper levels, and outdoor excursions are respectfully avoided

• Ngembak Geni: Reconnection and Renewal
  As silence lifts at 6 AM on March 20, Nyepi transitions into Ngembak Geni a day of forgiveness and reconnection. At Amora Ubud, this can be marked by:
  • Gathering for warm meals with close company
  • Gentle stretching or yoga to welcome new beginnings
  • Quiet strolls as Bali reawakens in harmony
