Together We Celebrate: 13 Years of Nakula and the Magic of Bali’s Festive Season

MANGUPURA, balitourismnow.com – As the festive season approaches, Nakula invites guests to embrace the joy of togetherness in beautiful surroundings.

To mark its 13th year, the 100% Bali-based and 100% Indonesian company is sharing a diverse collection of spacious private retreats designed for shared experiences, end-of-year retreats, and welcoming 2026 in timeless tropical style.

“To celebrate its 13th anniversary, Bali’s leading hospitality management group is highlighting 13 event villas that blend the beauty of island life with the spirit of togetherness,” said Christian Sunjoto, CEO of Nakula, on Friday, December 19, 2025.

From its beginnings as a small, homegrown team, Nakula has grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in hospitality, managing more than 70 villas and boutique hotels across the island.

The Event Villas collection embodies this philosophy through thoughtful design and expansive scale. In Nusa Dua near Pandawa Cliff, Naga Sutra Villa combines classic Balinese architecture with majestic Indian Ocean views, an infinity pool, and expansive lawns, offering an elegant setting for any type of celebration.

In the Jimbaran hills, Villa Uma Nina reflects modern contemporary style with Balinese touches through carved wood, soft stone, and expansive, tranquil gardens, ideal for celebrations under the stars.
