ilton Bali Resort has designed an exciting program until Jan. 1, 2023 to turbo-charge the holiday season, inviting one and all, both family and friends, to come celebrate Christmas or New Year in their chosen style.
“We invite guests to experience the magic of Christmas and New Year in Bali, launching the festive season as we reveal the festive décor,” said Hilton Bali Resort general manager Amit Sakhrani.
“Spreading the [holiday] spirit across our resort with highlights on New Year’s Eve, our team will pull out an unforgettable menu to welcome 2023,” he added.
To open the festive season, the hotel’s very own Santa will light the Christmas tree at the Candlelight Festival on Monday, Dec. 5.
This will be followed with cinnamon-themed chocolates and pastries, vegan products and flavorsome coffee at the Deli Corner, using all locally sourced ingredients delivered to the hotel’s door by Balinese producers.
“We love to work with local producers to provide more of the hotel’s food and beverage offerings, while supporting small local enterprises and ensuring sustainable growth,” said Hilton Bali Resort’s executive chef, Clinton Webber.
The resort’s sustainability drive progressed from sourcing locally to committing to reducing waste, and then to using fresh and seasonal produce, he added.
Dinner will get interesting starting at 6 p.m. on Dec. 23 at Paon Bali Restaurant, where the chefs will serve up a menu that honors Bali’s culinary tradition. Offerings include local dishes like Lawar, Serombotan, Ayam Betutu, Babi Samsam and Sate Lilit Ikan, paired with local wines for an all-Bali palate priced at Rp 550,000 (US$35.21) per person.
On Christmas Eve, don’t miss out on comfort foods at the Grain restaurant that will evoke childhood memories. Starting from 6 p.m., a live band will regale guests with Top 40 Christmas hits as they indulge in a selected menu featuring ‘Touched’ Salmon, Squid Ink Lamb, Crab and Smoked King Fish, Barbecue Black Angus Rib Eye, Roasted Duck, Baked Ricotta Puddings and Steamed Christmas Pudding, with prices starting at Rp 850,000 per person.
Alternatively, guests who prefer an authentic Balinese dinner can instead head to Christmas Dinner at Paon Bali, set to calming, Balinese traditional music. The dinner also begins at 6 p.m. and is priced at Rp 950,000 per couple.
Seaside Christmas Day celebrations begin at The Breeze casual beachfront restaurant, where a wholesome Christmas brunch will be laid until 4 p.m., featuring selections of barbecue and seafood paired with cheese. Sit back and enjoy the live band with a choice of bubbly, three buckets of beer and Christmas cocktails to spice up the holiday.
Guests who’d rather sitting out brunch can head to The Shore restaurant, which has brought back its famous Christmas Butchers Block and Seafood Platter at a la carte prices. Be sure to book a spot to enjoy a beachfront evening with a live acoustic duo set to the sound of ocean waves.
Hilton Bali Resort is also marking Boxing Day. Head back to The Breeze on Dec. 26 for an a la carte barbecue lunch at 12 p.m. or the Pantai (beach) Picnic from 6 p.m., starting at Rp 850,000 per person.
Eat ethically and sustainably at the Grain Restaurant with a seafood buffet starting from 6 p.m on Dec. 27, when the Hilton’s kitchen team will grill and serve locally sourced cuts at Rp 600,000 per person. Pare down on Dec. 28 with a wine-and-dine experience at The Shore, presenting a selection of cheeses, wines and desserts set to a live jazz band.
Counting down to the new year
The Breeze will be holding the South American Beachside Carnival Day with bonfires and a live band, complete with an a la carte barbecue for Rp 850,000 per person.
Finally, ring in the New Year under Las Vegas-esque lighting in the Paruman grand ballroom with a live band, tarot reading, clowns, a live DJ and fireworks. While adults are being pampered with an awesome menu featuring international gourmet food, kids will be having their own New Year’s Eve party next door with a cornucopia of fun activities.
Sleep in on the first day of 2023 and then head for a light barbecue brunch at The Shore or The Breeze from noon to 5 p.m. After making your resolutions with a Bloody Mary in hand, join the Prawn & Beer festival at The Shore, with live cooking stations and a live acoustic duo to add sparkle.

Standing adjacent to a 40-meter cliff overlooking Sawangan Beach, Hilton Bali Resort pampers guests of all ages with its comprehensive range of activities and amenities. Choose from 401 rooms with a view of the ocean, manicured gardens or the resort’s peace-inspiring landscape.
