The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas in Nusa Dua, Bali, is set to celebrate Chinese New Year 2026 with a series of events that honour tradition and cultural heritage.
The festivities, which coincide with the Year of the Fire Horse, will include activities such as Chinese calligraphy, Hanfu photo opportunities, and a Lion Dance, all designed to provide guests with meaningful experiences.
On 16 February, Chinese New Year’s Eve, guests can engage in the art of Chinese calligraphy from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Cannelé outdoor area.
This practice allows participants to explore the symbolism behind each character, often representing wishes for harmony and prosperity. The event is informal, encouraging guests to appreciate the craft at their leisure.
The celebration continues with Hanfu photo moments available on both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, 17 February, where guests can don traditional Chinese attire, capturing memories that connect them to the cultural significance of the garments.
Ushering in good fortune
On Lunar New Year’s Day, the Lion Dance will be performed across select restaurants and the lobby area; this traditional dance is intended to usher in positive energy and new beginnings, seamlessly integrating into the resort's daily flow.
Culinary experiences at Mulia Bali will feature festive dining at Table8, where specially curated menus highlight classic flavours associated with the New Year.
Additionally, Chinese New Year hampers and holiday offerings will be available, reflecting themes of abundance and generosity.
The Mulia Bali's approach to Chinese New Year is characterised by balance and respect, allowing guests to engage with the celebrations at their own pace, ensuring a tranquil yet festive atmosphere.
