AYANA Welcomes Lunar New Year 2026 with Dual-Destination Celebrations

Welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse, AYANA Midplaza Jakarta and AYANA Bali invite travelers to celebrate Lunar New Year through a dual-destination journey linking Indonesia’s cosmopolitan capital with its most celebrated tropical escape. With frequent flights connecting Jakarta and Bali in under two hours, guests can experience two distinct yet complementary celebrations within one festive season.

Lunar New Year is a time of reunion, renewal, and shared blessings, with the Year of the Fire Horse, which occurs once every 60 years, symbolizing strength, freedom, and vitality. Across both destinations, AYANA presents an enticing calendar of festive dining, cultural performances, family-friendly activities, and restorative wellness experiences designed for travelers seeking both urban energy and resort-style relaxation.

Jakarta: A Cosmopolitan Capital Celebrating Culinary Heritage
Located in the heart of the capital’s business and lifestyle district, AYANA Midplaza Jakarta presents refined Lunar New Year celebrations anchored in heritage Cantonese cuisine and contemporary hospitality. As Jakarta continues to gain recognition for its world-class dining and nightlife scene, the city is increasingly drawing international visitors eager to experience its unique urban culture.

At the center of the celebrations is Liu Li Palace Seafood Restaurant, known for its authentic Cantonese cuisine. From February 9 to March 3, 2026, festive set menus feature premium ingredients imbued with auspicious meaning, alongside the season’s highlight: Poon Choi, a traditional Cantonese communal feast rarely found in Jakarta’s hotel dining landscape. The dish is layered in a single pot, symbolizing unity, abundance, longevity, and shared blessings. Festivities continue at RASA Restaurant with lively Lunar New Year buffets and Barongsai (lion dance) performances, complemented by limited-edition festive cakes and exclusive stay packages.

Bali: Resort-Style Festivities Immersed in Culture and Nature

Shifting to a resort-style celebration, AYANA Bali offers a festive escape across its 90-hectare clifftop estate overlooking Jimbaran Bay, where Lunar New Year traditions are blended with Balinese cultural expression. From February 1 to March 3, 2026, the program features exuberant dragon and Barongsai performances, sunset showcases of Kecak and Barong dances, and a festive countdown at the iconic Rock Bar, complete with music and fireworks. Seasonal afternoon teas, festive menus, and family-oriented programming enliven the experience.

Younger guests can enjoy creative activities such as shadow puppet painting and wooden horse craft sessions on February 17, while adults are invited to discover the award-winning AYANA Spa. From February 1 to 28, an exclusive Couples’ Spa Package includes a complimentary 120-minute Thalassotherapy pool experience, designed to restore balance and deep relaxation as the year begins.

As the Year of the Fire Horse begins, AYANA invites travelers to celebrate across the two destinations, discovering prosperity, togetherness, and renewal through contrasting yet harmonious experiences.
