Bali takes on a different glow at the end of the year, when festive traditions meet the island’s unmistakable rhythm. This December, Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort embraces that atmosphere through “The Poetry of the Glow,” a season-long celebration shaped around light, togetherness and the warmth of the holidays.

The program begins on 4 December at 6 PM with a Christmas Lighting Ceremony at the Rotunda Lobby, where a candle ritual will illuminate the resort for the season. The theme continues beyond the public spaces with the Candle Experience, available across all room categories from November 2026 to February 2027. Priced at IDR 3,500,000++ per set-up, the experience includes a one-time candle arrangement, a bottle of Pommery Champagne, a flower bouquet and welcome amenities.

Christmas Eve, Two Ways

Christmas Eve gives guests two distinct ways to celebrate. At Cucina, the evening is designed as a more intimate affair, with a five-course set menu paired with selected wines and signature cocktails, accompanied by live violin and piano performances from 6 PM to 11 PM.

For a more relaxed tropical celebration, the Gamelan Ballroom will host a festive buffet with live music and a fire dance performance. Christmas Eve dining starts from IDR 899,000++ per adult and IDR 495,000++ per child aged 6–12.

Christmas Day Around the Table

Christmas Day continues with two festive brunch experiences. From 11 AM to 3 PM, Cucina will serve an indulgent spread of Italian, French and Asian favorites, complemented by gourmet charcuterie, live music, a children’s choir and a visit from Santa Claus.

At the Gamelan Ballroom, an open-air festive buffet will be served from 12 PM to 4 PM, accompanied by a live band, Christmas carols and seasonal entertainment. Both Christmas Day brunches are priced at IDR 1,350,000++ per person.

In the evening, Kwee Zeen shifts the focus to an Asian-inspired festive spread from 6 PM to 10:30 PM, with prices starting from IDR 799,000++ per person.

For families and groups seeking a more private celebration, Festive Group Dining is available throughout December. The four-course set menu can be booked from 1–31 December for a minimum of eight guests, starting from IDR 850,000++ per person.
