I’ve spent 14 Christmases in Bali, and here’s what I tell every friend who asks what it’s like. It’s hot (highs of around 31\u00b0C), it’s wet season, and the island doesn’t stop for the holiday. Bali is majority Hindu, so you won’t find carols on the streets or lights in every window. The most festive Christmas in Bali happens in the hotels, restaurants and beach clubs, where the big event is a long Christmas Day brunch that runs well into the afternoon, often with a visit from Santa at the larger resorts. This guide covers where to book Christmas brunch and dinner in Bali this year, what to do on the day, where to stay, and my first-hand practical tips for a seamless Christmas holiday in Bali. Selamat Hari Natal!<\/em><\/p>\n

This guide includes tips and events happening on Christmas Day, which falls on Friday, 25 December 2026.<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking for tips and events for the day before Christmas, check out our dedicated list for Bali\u2019s best Christmas Eve dinners<\/a> taking place on Thursday, 24 December 2026.<\/p>\n

Why trust this guide<\/h3>\n

I’m Louise! I’ve lived in Bali full-time for 14 years and spent 14 Christmases on the island. I’ve personally reviewed more than 500 of Bali’s hotels, restaurants, bars and spas, and explored 50+ islands across Indonesia. The tips in this guide come from my own Christmases here and from our Bali team, who grew up spending Christmas in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
