Long weekends in Indonesia in 2025… Out of office: ON!
Expats and Bali residents, this one’s for you! Make the most of your Annual Leave by taking off January 2nd and 3rd for six days off. For a five-day weekend, take off January 28th. Then, take April 2nd, 3rd and 4th off for a total of nine days off for the Idul Fitri holidays! Take May 2nd and 30th for two four-day weekends, plus September 4th for another four day-weekend! And of course, we always recommend taking off multiple days around Christmas and New Year for an extended festive break too.
