Guide to New Year’s Eve in Bali: AYANA Bali’s Countdown Parties & Festive Dining

As the island prepares to welcome a brand-new year, AYANA Bali invites guests to step into 2026 wrapped in the glow of Festive Sunsation, the resort’s signature season of sunlit celebrations and starlit moments. Set across 90 hectares of cliffside overlooking Jimbaran Bay, AYANA Bali transforms into one of the island’s most vibrant destinations for New Year’s Eve in Bali, offering unforgettable dining, entertainment, and panoramic fireworks. The journey toward the new year begins long before the countdown. As December unfolds, the resort’s oceanfront paths, shimmering pools, and restaurants hum with anticipation. Guests are welcomed into a world where every sunset feels like an opening act, and every evening carries the warmth of celebration.

A Cliffside Destination for New Year in Bali

On December 31, AYANA Bali becomes the heart of Bali’s year-end festivities. The resort’s iconic venues each with its own rhythm, atmosphere, and ocean-facing vantage point, invite guests to craft their perfect countdown. At the AYANA Center Core, the resort’s grand outdoor stage comes alive with live music, dynamic DJ sets, celebratory cocktails, and the crescendo of fireworks painting the sky above Jimbaran. Those seeking a more magnetic, cliff-edge atmosphere make their way to Rock Bar, Bali, where DJ beats echo against the ocean cliffs and the horizon lights up with a shimmering ring of fireworks across the bay.

For guests who prefer a breezier rooftop celebration, UNIQUE Rooftop Bar & Restaurant opens its semi-indoor and open-air spaces for a lively night of Mexican-inspired bites, cocktails, and panoramic views. Meanwhile, Luna Rooftop Bar offers a relaxed yet elevated ambiance, where the DJ begins at 9 PM and the fireworks feel close enough to touch. When midnight energy continues into the early hours, the party shifts to After Rock, an immersive indoor after-party with vibrant lights, late-night bites, and an adults-only ambience that extends the celebration well into 2026.

A Global Feast to Welcome the New Year

True to AYANA’s culinary spirit, New Year’s Eve becomes a celebration of global flavors. Travelers seeking the best New Year’s Eve dinner in Bali can indulge in a curated collection of dining experiences, ranging from Indonesian rijsttafel traditions to premium seafood, Japanese teppanyaki, and elegant Western menus. Guests may begin their evening with a Karang Rijsttafel dinner, savor the ocean’s finest at the KISIK New Year’s Eve Seafood Five-Course Dinner, or enhance the celebration with the extravagant Pesta Lobster Six-Course Dinner by the ocean. At DAVA, a refined five-course dinner highlights premium cuts and seafood, while Sami Sami brings the warmth of coastal Italy with a four-course experience crafted for families and couples alike.

Those looking for a spirited celebration can enjoy an expressive four-course Mexican menu at UNIQUE, or step into a world of Asian flavors with Liu Li Palace Seafood Restaurant, New Year’s Teppanyaki at Honzen, or having a refined wagyu Yakiniku Dinner at Sumizen—each adding to AYANA Bali’s diverse festive offerings.

A Radiant Start to 2026

Whether guests choose to celebrate from a cliff bar, a rooftop, or a candle-lit table beside the sea, AYANA Bali ensures an unforgettable start to the new year. The combination of world-class dining, panoramic fireworks, and the resort’s signature warmth creates a celebration that feels both elevated and deeply personal.
