BALI, balitourimnow.com – Travelers planning a March 2026 visit to Bali are being urged to book early, as the Balinese New Year, Nyepi, the Day of Silence (Thursday, 19 March), and Eid al-Fitr (21–22 March), fall just two days apart, creating an extended holiday of around seven days for many Indonesians.
First-time travelers to Bali should note that Nyepi involves a complete 24-hour island-wide shutdown, during which all flights and transport services pause entirely.
“Early planning and accommodation bookings are crucial to ensure a smooth and memorable getaway,” said Christian Sunjoto, CEO of Nakula Villa Management, on Thursday, January 29, 2026.
The island’s magnetic appeal shows no signs of slowing. TripAdvisor recently named Bali the world’s number one travel destination in its Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Destinations 2026, surpassing London, Dubai, Paris, and New York.
Bali’s popularity is also reflected in record tourism figures. More than 7.1 million international visitors arrived in Bali in 2025, surpassing pre-pandemic numbers and setting a new all-time high.
Domestic travel to Bali is also predicted to rise significantly over the March 2026 holiday period, with government-backed initiatives including discounted airline tickets for Eid to stimulate the national economy.
New international flight routes from Singapore, Newcastle (Australia), and Mumbai are also increasing accessibility for inbound visitors.
Travel platforms such as Skyscanner highlight the growing trend of multi-generational family travel, underscoring the importance of securing accommodation early for family reunions and holiday gatherings.
With Chinese New Year just around the corner on 17 February 2026, advance bookings are more important than ever.
Nakula Villa Management offers an ideal solution for family reunions on the island over these holiday periods, combining space, privacy, and comfort groups looking to reconnect in a welcoming, luxurious environment.
As part of its collection for the upcoming holidays, Nakula highlights four villas that balance modern comfort with Balinese charm:
● 9 Bedrooms The Bija Villas – In the heart of Canggu, The Bija Villas are where families can gather and still find space to breathe. Children can play in the entertainment room or splash in the pool while adults relax in the shaded joglo pavilion. Long afternoons by the pool and evenings spent sharing stories make every stay feel full of connection.
● 5 Bedrooms Villa Morada – Also in Canggu, Villa Morada is a calm retreat where families can enjoy meaningful moments in the open living areas and expansive gardens. Its contemporary design feels light and welcoming, letting families settle in naturally while still being just minutes from the cafés, shops, and little discoveries of the area.
● 7 Bedrooms Nagasutra Villa – High on the cliffs of Ungasan, with unobstructed view of the Indian Ocean, at Nagasutra Villa mornings start with the sun glinting on the ocean and evenings end with the gentle sound of waves below. With seven bedrooms, a pool, jacuzzi, and a gazebo, the villa becomes the perfect place for shared memories.
● 7 Bedrooms Villa Tirtadari – Spread across a wide estate in Kerobokan, Villa Tirtadari combines the warmth of traditional joglo architecture with open, airy spaces. The 25-metre pool calls for early morning laps or late-night dips, while expansive lawns are ideal for families with children to gather, play, laugh, and unwind.
“With Bali consistently ranking among the world’s top destinations and travel demand rising, early planning has never been more important,” said Christian Sunjoto.
Travelers looking to secure accommodations for Chinese New Year in February 2026, and the combined Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr 2026 holiday, are encouraged to contact Nakula Villa Management early to ensure availability.
“Our villas provide the perfect setting for families to gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories in comfort and privacy,” said Christian Sunjoto. [oko]
