Celebrate an Island Style Christmas

If you’ve had a tough year and you think need a tropical island escape, then Bali is the perfect location to hide yourself away for a quiet Christmas celebration. The weather is warm, the views are beautiful and the people are famously kind.

We recommend you come for at least 10 days to get the full effect of your tropical island holiday. As the sun sets over the palm trees every evening you’ll find yourself more able to relax then ever. And when Christmas eve does roll around, you’ll be truly ready to celebrate.

Three Reasons To Spend Christmas In Bali

We think the best thing about shouting yourself to a last-minute island-style Christmas is the chance to leave all of that holiday season stress behind!

  • Instead of having to slave away in the kitchen (and then clean up all the mess) you’ll get to choose from dozens of amazing restaurants where you can dine like royalty without breaking the bank.
  • Instead of putting up with grumpy relatives crowding your house you can have a quiet day with your nearest and dearest in a gorgeous pool villa. Peace and quiet is bliss!
  • Instead of slogging through malls with Christmas music blaring, you can wander around quaint Balinese markets and shop for truly unique gifts to bring home to the ones you love.

Cool Things To Do On Christmas Eve

Eating is always going to be a priority so below we’ve included a list of lovely restaurants where you can enjoy Christmas Eve dinners. Christmas in Bali can be anything you want it to be, so we’ve also thrown in a few other ideas. From giving back a little to the community to exploring nature, to getting some exercise.
