Beginning with the award-winning luxury resort, Hanging Gardens of Bali in 2003 and from there to the development of more distinctive resorts and spas as well as luxurious residences.
The cores of HGI’s developments are innovative, environmentally sustainable, and unique to each environment and location with their unique characteristics, highlighting Hanging Gardens Of Bali, Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa, Elevate Bali by Hanging Gardens, Essence Of Java by Hanging Gardens, Elevate London, N20 London.

EDITOR
Every culture and religion in the world has its own way to define and celebrate the coming of the New Year. While the Chinese celebrate with drums and cymbals, the Muslims celebrate the first of Muharram, and the world, in general, celebrates the first of January with fireworks and parties, the Hindus of Bali welcome the New Year with the ritual of Nyepi. For, contrary to other cultures that celebrate New Year with vivacious and loud festivities, the pinnacle of Balinese New Year is a day of complete Silence.
For others, a chance for Mother Nature to ‘reboot’ herself after 364 days of bearing human activity. No lights are turned on at night – total darkness and seclusion go along with this new moon island-wide – for 24 hours straight until 6am the following day.
THE BALI’S STORY
Hence the name Nyepi, meaning “to keep silent” in the local language a day fully dedicated to connecting oneself more closely with God (Hyang Widi Wasa) through prayers and at the same time as a day of self-introspection to decide on values, such as humanity, love, patience, kindness, and others, that should be kept forever.
