Some Unique Ways To Celebrate Christmas 2023 In Bali
You won’t find glittering Christmas markets and mulled wines while you’re celebrating Christmas 2023 in Bali but what you’ll find is delightfully enticing and unique to the Island of the Gods. It’s a tropical Christmas in Bali, so get ready for some merrymaking by the sea paired with excellent service, delicious food, tantalizing drinks, and amazing views.
There’ll be warm splendid evenings in luxurious or quaint and casual venues, decked from top to bottom with shimmering decorations with twinkling lights and a Christmas tree with “presents” underneath. Christmas jingles will be playing softly (and sometimes loudly!) over the speakers with toe-tapping performances taking place throughout the night.
Most restaurants and cafes would offer multi-course Christmas Eve dinners and Christmas Day buffets with cocktails and wine pairing, and Boxing Day BBQs with buckets of beer before gearing up for the biggest party of the year – New Year’s Eve celebrations. On these occasions, there’ll be visits from Santa and his elves, gift-giving, caroling, and live musical performances featuring the season’s most popular tunes.
Enjoy A Traditional Christmas Dinner In Bali
Bali is a world-class hub when it comes to immersive dining experiences so expect nothing less than a true blue Christmas dinner complete with all the trimmings. Whether you’re looking for an extravagant Christmas dining experience or something that’s lighter on the wallet, you’ll be sure to find the ideal spot in Seminyak to suit your preferences.
Popular venues that are making a huge comeback this year are the icons of Seminyak, Ku De Ta, and Potato Head Beach Club, both stylish and elegant upmarket venues offering five-star Christmas dinners and lunches by the sea. Newcomers are also out to impress with mouthwatering Christmas menus in casual settings such as crowd favorites The Goat and Corner House Seminyak. Other notable Seminyak establishments with renowned Christmas dinner menus would include Jemme, Barbacoa, Merah Putih, and Chez Gado Gado for casual beachside bliss.
Christmas dinner menus on the island would typically include all the classics from succulent roast beef and honey-glazed ham to spiced pork belly and tender roasted turkey. Take your pick from slow-roasted lamb to marinated roast chicken, prime ribs, charcoal-grilled steak and so much more. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are widely available here in Seminyak so sit back, relax, and enjoy. Be sure to leave room for dessert – who could say no to a Christmas pudding or a Christmas pavlova?!
If you’re looking for something different, head to one of the Greek restaurants in Seminyak such as Santorini for a festive taste of the Mediterranean.
Christmas Day lunches are presented as extravagant buffets, with the option to include an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks package. Guests can take their time over hot and cold stations offering classic international favorites, Indonesian must-haves, and Asian staples like sushi and seafood, with everything else included from starters to soups, salads, and more. On Boxing Day, you can relax and unwind by the poolside in venues that offer mouthwatering BBQs with buckets of ice-cold beers.
