A JOYFUL WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE HORSE
Chinese New Year marks one of the most treasured periods in the lunar calendar, a time when traditions, family ties and cultural stories come together in a vibrant celebration of renewal. Across many Asian communities, preparations begin with rituals that welcome fresh beginnings. Homes are brightened with auspicious colors, symbolic foods are shared to invite harmony and prosperity and festive gatherings become moments of togetherness that honor both heritage and hope. Lanterns, melodies and the exchange of heartfelt wishes all add to the season’s uplifting spirit. The year 2026 welcomes the Year of the Horse, a zodiac sign revered for its lively energy, courage and forward-moving nature. The Horse symbolizes progress, inspiration and an open-hearted approach to new opportunities. Its arrival is believed to encourage optimism and to bring a positive momentum that carries families and communities confidently into the year ahead. Among the most beloved traditions of this season is yusheng, often called the prosperity toss. This colorful dish brings together an array of vibrant ingredients, each one representing blessings such as health, abundance and good fortune. During the celebration, guests gather around the table to toss the ingredients high while joyfully calling out wishes for the year to come. The higher the toss, the greater the luck. This moment captures the essence of Lunar New Year: shared joy, hopeful intentions and the beauty of celebrating together. At The Laguna Bali, these festive traditions will be embraced with warmth and thoughtful touches throughout the resort. Guests can look forward to a special dinner crafted for the occasion, cocktails inspired by the season and the joyful coming-together of the yusheng toss. A calligraphy artist will be present to create personalized wishes, offering each guest a meaningful keepsake rooted in cultural artistry.
CHINESE NEW YEAR BRUNCH ARWANA RESTAURANT 22 FEBRUARY 2026, 12.00 PM – 3.00 PM Welcome the Lunar New Year with a sumptuous brunch, where time-honored traditions meet contemporary culinary artistry.

Each year, Earth Hour invites the world to switch off the lights and switch on a deeper awareness of our planet. At The Laguna Bali, this global moment is embraced as a chance to honor the island’s natural beauty and inspire meaningful connection with nature. As Earth Hour 2026 approaches, anticipation begins to build. The beachfront transforms into a serene canvas, the night sky softens, and the resort prepares for an experience that celebrates simplicity, togetherness, and the timeless allure of Bali. Guests are invited to slow down, reconnect with the rhythms of the island, and witness the gentle magic that unfolds when the world becomes quiet. The evening will be marked by thoughtful touches across the resort. Soft ambient lighting will guide the way, candlelit settings will create warm intimacy, and sustainability inspired activities will encourage reflection on the importance of protecting Bali’s cherished environment. At the heart of the celebration is a highlight many guests look forward to each year. The resort’s annual sand sculpture, designed and crafted by members of The Laguna Bali’s own staff, usually depicts an endangered species to spark awareness and appreciation for wildlife protection. While the 2026 design remains under wraps, anticipation grows for what will be revealed when the lights dim. Guests are encouraged to be ready for a moment that promises to be both captivating and meaningful. Earth Hour at The Laguna Bali is more than an observance.

THE PATTERN DENPASAR REGENCY-INSPIRED
Adorning this edition of Indigenous Bali is a specially created pattern by artisan Pak Made Wartawan, inspired by the heritage of Endek fabric. Endek has long been part of Balinese tradition, its name derived from ngendek, meaning silent or unchanging, reflecting the fabric’s steadfast colors and timeless character. Its beauty comes from the meeting of two threads: the vertical lungsi and the horizontal pakan, which together form motifs drawn from nature, folklore, and daily life. For this issue, The Laguna Bali highlights the Rangrang motif within the Denpasar pattern. Known for its geometric shapes and dynamic structure, Rangrang symbolizes strength, unity, and harmony between humans and nature. By featuring Pak Made Wartawan’s interpretation, this edition honors Bali’s craftsmanship and celebrates the cultural stories that continue to inspire the island today.
INDIGENOUS BALI Denpasar, located on the southern part of Bali Island, serves as the capital of Bali Province and stands as the island’s main gateway and cultural hub. Once a royal court city, Denpasar has grown into a busy, vibrant metropolis that blends traditional Balinese heritage with modern urban life. The city pulses with a rich tapestry of religion, arts, commerce, and daily life, offering temples and historic landmarks alongside bustling markets, crafts, businesses, and local neighborhoods. As a result, Denpasar is both a starting point for exploring Bali and a destination worth discovering on its own, a place where the island’s history, culture, and modern-day dynamism converge.
DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS OF DENPASAR, BALI
SUNRISE AT KARANG BEACH Karang Beach in Sanur is one of Denpasar’s most serene sunrise spots, where the morning light rises gently over calm waters. The beach is quiet at dawn, framed by soft sand, traditional gazebos, and a peaceful shoreline that invites slow walks, cycling, or moments of reflection as the day begins.
PURA MAOSPAHIT Pura Maospahit is one of Denpasar’s oldest temples, known for its striking red-brick architecture and its roots in the ancient Majapahit era. Its unique spatial layout and historical ambience offer a distinct look into Bali’s early cultural and religious influences.
PURA AGUNG JAGATNATHA Pura Agung Jagatnatha is the largest temple in Denpasar, dedicated to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Located beside Puputan Square and the Bali Museum, it offers a glimpse into the spiritual rhythm of the city, highlighted by its towering padmasana shrine and classic Balinese architectural details.
LAPANGAN PUPUTAN BADUNG Lapangan Puputan Badung is a green heart of Denpasar, a spacious city square that blends daily local life with deep historical significance. It is a favourite gathering place for morning and afternoon activities, surrounded by important landmarks that commemorate the heroic Puputan Badung event of 1906.
BAJRA SANDHI MONUMENT The Bajra Sandhi Monument rises prominently in Renon as a tribute to the long journey of the Balinese people throughout history. Designed in the shape of a traditional Hindu bell, it houses dioramas that tell the island’s story from ancient times to independence, while its top level offers wide views over Denpasar.
CATUR MUKA MONUMENT The Catur Muka Monument stands at Denpasar’s central crossroads and is often viewed as the symbolic centre of the city. Featuring a four-faced depiction of a creator deity looking toward all directions, it represents balance, protection, and the cultural identity of Denpasar.
BALI MUSEUM Bali Museum preserves the island’s heritage through extensive displays of traditional textiles, masks, sculptures, and archaeological discoveries. Set in the former royal palace grounds of Denpasar, the museum provides a compact but meaningful journey into Bali’s artistic and cultural evolution.
Among the many traditions of his hometown, the one that resonates most is the daily ritual of placing Canang Sari offerings. “You see it everywhere at temples, shop entrances, even on car dashboards. It is a simple but profound reminder to express gratitude and balance,” he explains. This gentle, grounding practice is part of what shapes the peaceful atmosphere guests often feel the moment they arrive on the island. Niko also credits his upbringing in Denpasar with shaping his approach to hospitality at The Laguna Bali. The values he learned such as warmth, respect and the Balinese principle of Tat Twam Asi (I am you, you are me) guide the way he connects with guests. “It is not just about service; it is about making someone feel like family,” he shares. When he seeks a quiet moment for himself, Niko returns to the open green spaces around Bajra Sandhi Monument, where locals jog, families gather and the evening breeze softens the day. It is here, he says, that you can feel “the true, unhurried pace of Denpasar life.” Above all, Niko hopes guests take away a deeper appreciation for the city he calls home. “Denpasar is the soul of Bali. It is messy, vibrant, spiritual and authentic. Do not just pass through it; feel its pulse.”
One of his most cherished memories is attending the Bali Arts Festival at Taman Werdhi Budaya every June and July. “It wasn’t just a school holiday activity,” he recalls. “It was a non-stop spectacle of dances, music, and crafts from all over Bali. The energy and pride were incredible.” The festival’s colors, sounds and celebrations became an annual highlight and a reminder of the cultural richness he carries with him today. When guests ask where to spend a few meaningful hours in Denpasar, Niko always recommends starting at the Bajra Sandhi Monument. Its architecture tells the story of the Balinese people’s journey and struggle, while the surrounding gardens offer a calm space to wander and observe local life. From there, he suggests heading to Badung Market, the city’s traditional marketplace. With its lively mix of spices, fresh produce, textiles and the hum of daily commerce, it delivers what he calls “the real-time rhythm of Denpasar.” Food, of course, plays a central role in understanding any place, and Denpasar is no exception. “You absolutely must try Sate Lilit,” Niko says with a smile. Made with minced fish or chicken blended with bumbu genep and wrapped around a lemongrass stalk, the versions found in Denpasar’s street stalls are, in his words, “the freshest and most flavorful.”
The Heart of Denpasar WITH PUTU NIKO CAHYADI
For Niko from our Recreation Team, Denpasar is more than Bali’s bustling capital. It is home. He grew up in Panjer, South Denpasar, a neighborhood he describes as “the authentic heart of the city, still very residential, with a strong sense of banjar life.” Close to the vibrant center yet bordered by stretches of rice fields, Panjer offered him a childhood shaped by community spirit, tradition, and the easy rhythm of local living.
