ARYADUTA Bali officially welcomed the festive season with its annual ‘Sparkle & Shine’ Christmas tree lighting ceremony, held on Friday, 5 December 2025. This year’s celebration featured a warm mix of tradition, sustainability and togetherness, and was attended by business partners, members of the media, guests staying at the hotel, as well as the ARYADUTA Bali team.

The evening began in the hotel gardens which had been beautifully decorated with festive decorations and the hotel’s signature eco-friendly Christmas installations. A vocal group from ARYADUTA Bali performed classic Christmas melodies, creating an inspiring atmosphere as guests gathered around the center of the main stage.

After the performance, General Manager of ARYADUTA Bali, RM Rendy Prapanca, gave a warm welcome before leading the ceremonial moment. With the lighting of the ceremonial wand, the lobby and other venues were immediately illuminated by hundreds of warm lights, marking the official start of ARYADUTA Bali’s Christmas celebrations. Guests respond with applause as the Christmas tree lights up, symbolizing hope and joy for the end of the year season.

In addition to the lighting ceremony, ARYADUTA Bali introduced its Festive Mockup, featuring a Christmas hamper and this year’s special holiday menu. The hotel’s holiday decor is of particular interest, especially the Santa sleigh and reindeer displays made almost entirely from recycled cardboard. This impressive installation was created by the ARYADUTA Bali team, led by Agus Kurniawan who is renowned for his creativity and passion for sustainable art. The recycled materials used are carefully processed, painted and assembled to create a striking visual appeal, reflecting ARYADUTA Bali’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Guests and media partners were seen taking photos of the handmade sleigh and reindeer, making it one of the most talked about elements of the evening.
