Each year, Bali observes Nyepi, the Day of Silence, marking the Balinese New Year with 24 hours of complete stillness. Travel across the island stops, lights are not used, and the focus turns inward through meditation and quiet reflection. For international travellers drawn to the spiritual significance of Nyepi yet seeking the freedom to continue exploring, Labuan Bajo offers a distinctive alternative.

From 18 to 20 March 2026, AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach presents Serene Nyepi in Labuan Bajo, a two-night escape designed for travelers who wish to honor the spirit of Nyepi while remaining immersed in nature-led discovery. Located less than an hour's flight from Bali, Labuan Bajo offers a setting shaped by rugged landscapes and breathtaking marine environments, allowing guests to embrace the essence of the Day of Silence through stillness, space, and unhurried time together.

March is among the most favorable months to explore Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with calm seas and clear visibility ideal for island-hopping. A highlight of the Serene Nyepi experience is a full-day shared island-hopping journey, taking guests to the panoramic viewpoints of Padar Island, snorkeling sites rich in marine life, including the majestic manta rays at Manta Point,  and the region's iconic pink sand beach, before encountering Komodo dragons in their natural habitat.

Designed for couples and families alike, AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach balances exploration with the ease of a full-service resort. Beyond guided excursions, guests may take part in marine-focused experiences led by the resort's in-house marine biologists, including educational sessions on local ecosystems and hands-on coral planting programs that introduce conservation through direct engagement.

Those seeking active time on the water can enjoy snorkeling along calm coastal areas, as well as non-motorized activities such as kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding directly from the beach. On land, guided nature walks and light hiking routes introduce Flores' spectacular arid terrain, while private island visits and picnic-style experiences offer quieter alternatives for travelers looking to slow the pace.

As the day transitions into evening, guests may also take part in a sunset dinner cruise aboard AYANA Lako Sae, AYANA's contemporary three-deck semi-phinisi offering relaxed sailing around Labuan Bajo. Departing in the late afternoon, the shared cruise passes nearby islands and coastal bays, beginning with a welcome drink and light canapés. The journey continues with live acoustic music and views of thousands of flying foxes emerging at dusk, followed by an Indonesian buffet dinner served on deck before the vessel returns to shore.

The sunset dinner cruise is available in March 2026 at IDR 1,750,000 per adult and IDR 1,350,000 per child. From April 2026, updated pricing will apply, starting from IDR 1,777,000++ per adult and IDR 1,370,000++ per child.

Between days of exploration, AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach emphasizes restoration and wellbeing. Ocean-facing spa treatments inspired by local traditions, open-air spaces for gentle movement or breathing exercises, and moments of quiet by the sea provide a grounding counterbalance to active days, allowing guests to return feeling restored rather than rushed.
