Christmas in Bali has always been a thrilling affair. Before the pandemic, the island would light up with Christmas themed decorations and musical jingles as restaurants, hotels, villas and resorts gear up for super peak season. Excitement fills the air as the populace and visitors look forward to a jolly season of merrymaking.
There will be endless choices of Christmas Eve Dinners, Christmas Day Lunches, and Boxing Day BBQs to look forward to as establishments compete to outdo one another. A short lull, and then it all begins again right before New Year’s Eve.
This year, Christmas in Bali might not be as excessive as it had been in the years’ past but you know that a few things will always remain the same; excellent service, delicious food, decadent drinks, amazing views and a warm and friendly atmosphere where all are welcome.
If you’re in Seminyak and wondering what you can do to celebrate Christmas Eve this year, take a look at some of our suggestions below!
1. Christmas Lunch at Ku De Ta
Nestled along Seminyak’s sandy shores, this idyllic beachfront space is an icon in its own right. A proud landmark and a luxury lifestyle destination, it is famous among visitors and Bali’s expat community for its gorgeous settings, outstanding food, excellent drinks and world-class parties. Ku De Ta would be the perfect spot for a tropical Christmas Lunch in the sunshine. Executive Chef Jeremy Hunt will be sure to wow with an entrancing menu that will satisfy the senses.
2. Christmas Eve Dinner at Chez Gado Gado
Whether you’re looking for a casual sunset spot or the ultimate spot for an irresistible Christmas Eve feast, Chez Gado Gado is the place to be. Just a stone’s throw away from the waves of Seminyak Beach, you can relax under the swaying palms on the restaurant’s outdoor wooden deck while enjoying their signature cocktails in the magical glow of Seminyak sunset. The food at Chez Gado Gado is renowned for its freshness and taste. Try some Tapas and Steak, or go for the Pan Seared Mahi Mahi or the Jumbo Prawns. Don’t forget to leave room for dessert!
3. Boxing Day Lunch at Natys Seminyak
A beloved family dining destination, Natys Seminyak is now Seminyak’s favourite seafood joint. The restaurant offers the freshest goodies from the sea laid out on ice. All you need to do is pick and choose what you like, whether fish, prawns, squid or clams and they’ll marinate it and cook it for you over hot glowing coals. It’s very much a “Jimbaran” experience but in the heart of town! Not into seafood? There are plenty of selections also available on the menu, from steaks to pizza and pasta, burgers and sandwiches and local Indonesian favourites.
