Bali Cultural Event
Saraswati Day, Banyu Pinaruh and Pagerwesi in Bali
During your stay in Bali, you may notice beautiful offerings, prayers, and traditional ceremonies taking place around the island. These rituals are part of Saraswati Day, which will fall on Saturday, 6 September 2025. Saraswati Day is dedicated to the Goddess of Knowledge, Wisdom, and the Arts. On this sacred day, Balinese Hindus honour books, lontar manuscripts, and tools of learning, while prayers are held in homes, temples, and schools to show gratitude for knowledge that guides daily life.
The day after Saraswati is known as Banyu Pinaruh. On the morning of this celebration, Balinese families visit the sea, rivers, or natural springs for a ritual cleansing. This act of bathing symbolises purification, washing away negativity, and welcoming renewed energy and clarity. It is a meaningful tradition that reflects the island’s close relationship with nature and spirituality.
Four days later, on Wednesday, 10 September 2025, comes Pagerwesi, which is often described as the “day of spiritual strength.” The word “pager” means fence and “wesi” means iron, symbolising the need to build a strong spiritual defence to guard against negative influences. On this day, Balinese Hindus make offerings and prayers to reinforce their inner resilience and devotion.
While there are no special activities at the resort, we invite you to take this opportunity to observe or simply appreciate these important cultural traditions that highlight the richness of Balinese Hindu beliefs.

Guest Feedback

We stayed there for 3nights. The hotel's areas were very clean, tidy, and comfortable. The staff were all professional, friendly, and welcoming. We really enjoyed the coffees and doughnuts at the Italian café—it was so nice that we went back twice a day! The hotel service prices were very family-friendly, so I didn’t hesitate to use them. My kids absolutely loved the swimming pool. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back again – YK
Our second time at Bali Dynasty & it felt like we were arriving home when we arrived. There are so many great things to do at this resort! Kids Club is excellent and our kids actually wanted to go. The pool bar is so fun as well as the added entertainment for adults including water volleyball, water aerobics and walking on water challenges. The staff are so friendly and love taking time to talk to you. Overall, the resort is well maintained and the organisation in to all of the activities makes the holiday one to remember. A very easy place to relax & unwind - Marita Briody
Had an amazing stay at the Bali Dynasty resort. Theres just so much to keep you entertained, two nice pools, kids club, kids water play area and a nice pool bar where they run happy hour. Very nice to relax, the pool area can get busy but it’s all part of the atmosphere and people having a great time. Staff are amazing and nice and happy to accommodate you. Will come again - Shehan Fernando
Hidden gem in Kuta, one of the best family resorts we've ever stayed in Bali. Heaps of activities for kids and the family. Inside restaurants and spa services are great. And of course, the choice of stepping out and having access to everything under the sun - Satvinder Singh
This place is excellent. For anyone with kids there is a kids club for any ages. there are heaps of activities for everyone - Ollie Dorrington
We had a lovely time at this resort, so much entertainment for kids during the day by the pool. The entertainment team was amazing and caring. We enjoyed the village walk with TJ and loved the water aerobics. It was lovely as the hotel had an adult only section, so nice to get away if needed. Breakfast was great, a good selection of Asian and Western food available, they offered everything for everyone. The fresh fruit was yumm! The hotel was kept clean at all times and every staff was just so helpful. The room was clean. They also knew my dad's birthday and left him a cake in his room. The restaurant food was also great. Thank you for a pleasant stay. Highly recommend this hotel for families. We all had the best time - jenniferkB7728IZ
Loved the hotel with my family! I have two boys 3 years old and 4-year-old. Was very family friendly and will be back in future. The staff were incredible. We stayed in the family room on the lagoon - 4rebekahs
Bali Dynasty - Exceptional Resort for a great holiday. Lagoon Access Room is the best room we have found in Bali especially for kids who love swimming in what may as well be a private pool. The staff are great, accommodation is great, food variety and quality is perfect. Rooms were big and accommodated the 4 of us very well. 100% will be going back. An exceptional place for a great relaxing holiday - anthonyhN7692NY
Great family hotel. There's so much going on here for children, and adults are taken care of too. The pools are great and the hotel immaculate. Lovely modern comfortable rooms, ours was looked after beautifully by Gus Darma. Food varied and tasty with everything you could want. Was a little worried it might be a bit 'lively' but atmosphere was great and quiet when you are sleeping. Thoroughly recommend for families, not for couples/adult only and possibly better choices if you want to be closer to kuta beach (though we enjoyed the 25 min stroll along the waterfront) - Excursion262615
Convenient location, clean rooms, great facilities for families and the loveliest staff! This is was our 3rd stay at the Dynasty and as always, we had an amazing holiday. The resort conveniently located close to Kuta beach, shops/markets, Water Bomb and many restaurants. We stayed in a lagoon access room, which was clean and comfortable with a separate area for the kids with a sliding door and blind. We feel it was worth the upgrade. There were times we had the whole lagoon pool to ourselves! Other times our kids enjoyed splashing around with new friends in the quieter pool with new found friends while we supervised from our private patio. There were many activities and games provided for the kids, and these were well run and supervised by staff. The regular kids club movie nights gave us a chance to have a quieter dinner for an evening while our kids had a great time also. We also used the Spa often, and found it to be very relaxing with great quality treatments. What makes this place special for us is the staff. They are so warm, helpful, and kind from the second they collect you at the airport to when you depart. They even went above and beyond to wish our son happy birthday during our stay. Thank you Dynasty Resort for another amazing stay - erindG8950UG
Always an EXCELLENT experience at Bali Dynasty. This is the second time my daughter (11yrs old) and I have stayed at Bali Dynasty, and the fact we came back again here I think speaks volumes on how high we rate it as a hotel. The facilities are great! Whether you want family time at the pool or adult time in your own space with no kids - they have it covered! The rooms are clean, spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The restaurants are all really well thought out- breakfast at H20 and Senses has a variety of choices, Gracie Kelly steaks are amazing, and the Italian food at La Piazza rivals the cuisine I had in Italy. It really is THAT GOOD The kids club is outstanding - little ones down stairs (0-8) and 9 + upstairs and catered for older kids / tweens so well. Being close to the beach I was able to go for a walk or run every morning and then hit the gym after. While the facilities ARE amazing, you can’t go past the people working there. Every single staff member falls over themselves to help you - whether it’s the cleaners, the restaurant, bar staff, front of house or the Kids club they bring a personal touch to your stay that is genuine, warm and caring. Like a warm hug! Some even remembered us from 18 months before! I didn’t catch every person’s name (honestly they are ALL great!) but here are some that stuck: Murtika - cleaner / Adi W in H20 / my daughter loved the kids club staff who really went over and beyond to settle her in and played pool with her - Ari and Risna, thank you. And finally the WONDERFUL Yuni in Guest services / front desk went OVER and ABOVE in service for me when I had an issue (that was my issue, not caused by them in any way!) to help me solve it - and was beautiful with my daughter - she really took the time to get to know her. We had an amazing time and highly recommend for families, couples and singles. It’s a fantastic resort and we will be back VERY soon. Thank you, Bali Dynasty staff - Petra,M
