What Easter in Bali is actually like
If you’re looking for church bells and chocolate shops on every corner, Bali isn’t the place to celebrate Easter. It’s a majority Hindu island, so it’s not a major local celebration here. That said, it’s still one of the best long weekends to be in Bali, since Good Friday (3rd April) is recognised as an official Indonesian public holiday.
There are plenty of ways to celebrate the Easter weekend in Bali. Most events are found at resorts, beach clubs and family-friendly venues – think Sunday Brunches, fun kids’ activities, and sunny beach days. From my experience, the best Easter events are usually found at larger resorts and beach clubs, where they go all out with themed activities, decorations and games for kids.
Note: unlike in Europe, Easter Monday is not a public holiday in Indonesia, so the celebrations usually run from Good Friday until Easter Sunday only.
The Best Places for an Easter Sunday Brunch in Bali
One Easter tradition I always look forward to is an Easter Sunday Brunch, and in Bali, it’s often served up with sea views and sunshine!
