Spending Christmas on Gili Air. Sounds idyllic.

My partner and I are going to celebrate Christmas on Gili Air, and we are curious about anything special happening on the island during Christmas Eve? Are there any group events or a nice place to hav… more

Gili Air Christmas? Expect a pretty low-key affair. Most places will have a special menu, but don't anticipate huge, organized events. Your best bet is booking a nice dinner at a beachfront restaurant in advance – many will have festive decorations and a slightly fancier menu. Think more intimate gathering than massive party.

Kuta to Sanur or Seminyak on New Year's Eve?

Partner's in Kuta hospital, roads closing for NYE. Better bet for getting back to a hotel in Sanur or Seminyak tomorrow evening?

Oof, that's a tough one. New Year's Eve in Bali is… something else. Sanur's generally calmer than Seminyak, so the roads might be slightly less chaotic getting back to your hotel. But with your partner in the hospital, the shortest, least congested route wins. Use Google Maps (or whatever app you have) right now – check traffic predictions for both routes at the time you anticipate leaving. That'll give you the best real-time answer. And honestly, maybe have a backup plan...like a driver on standby if things get truly insane. Wishing your partner a speedy recovery!
