Coastal Constellations
A Festive Celebration Above the Indian Ocean at Alila Villas Uluwatu
Alila Villas Uluwatu will celebrate the festive season with Coastal Constellations, a program of dining, wellness, and cultural experiences running from December 20, 2026, to January 1, 2027. Set above the Indian Ocean, the celebration takes its inspiration from the meeting of ocean, sky, and light, with Christmas gatherings and New Year’s Eve festivities unfolding across the clifftop resort.
Guided by the theme “Under One Sky, by the Edge of the Ocean,” the seasonal setting will feature woven celestial ornaments, lanterns, and candlelight. Local craftsmanship and natural textures will bring a Balinese character to the decorations, complementing the resort’s contemporary architecture and coastal surroundings.
Festive dining by the ocean
CIRE will host a series of seasonal dining experiences, including Seafood Market, Lobster Dinner, Prime Cut Night, and Truffle Dinner. Christmas Eve Dinner on December 24 will be followed by a festive brunch on Christmas Day, both overlooking the Indian Ocean.
At The Warung, Indonesian regional cooking will take center stage. A Culinary Journey Across Bali on December 23 will pair the island’s specialties with Balinese dance performances, while the Christmas Day Pasar Malam will bring together traditional food stalls.
Sunset Cabana Bar will serve cocktails and festive bites against the evening coastline. Guests looking to explore the craft behind their drinks can join the Journey of Mixology at Batique.
Wellness and cultural discoveries
The program extends beyond dining with ocean-view yoga, meditation, active wellness sessions, and spa rituals. Sambal-making sessions, festive workshops, and locally inspired crafts will offer opportunities to explore Balinese culture, while creative activities will give families time to learn and spend the season together.
Guests can also discover Uma Bukit, the resort’s regenerative living ecosystem. The experience brings together nature, sustainability, and Balinese agricultural traditions, offering insight into the natural cycles that support the island.
Welcoming 2027
On New Year’s Eve, The Warung will present Flavours of Nusantara & Asia, with live cooking, regional specialties, and entertainment drawing on Indonesian and neighboring Asian food traditions. CIRE will offer a separate New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner overlooking the ocean.
The evening will continue with a Countdown Party at Sunset Cabana Bar, featuring DJ performances, live saxophone music, and fireworks. A midnight toast will welcome 2027 beneath the Uluwatu sky.
