Hyatt of Sanur Kite Festival 2026: Colors of Bali, Voices of Nature

Hyatt Regency Bali and Andaz Bali, by Hyatt are set to bring back one of their most anticipated annual traditions, the Hyatt of Sanur Kite Festival on Wednesday, 8 July 2026, from 2 PM onwards.

Taking place at Hyatt Regency Bali Beach, this year’s festival carries the theme “Colors of Bali, Voices of Nature,” drawing inspiration from Tri Hita Karana, the Balinese philosophy of harmony between people, nature, and spirituality.

The morning will begin with a lively parade from both resorts towards the festival grounds, accompanied by traditional gamelan musicians and cultural dance performances throughout the event. Adding to the festive atmosphere, a selection of culinary stalls will line the beachfront.

At the heart of the Hyatt of Sanur Kite Festival is the kite competition itself. Teams representing various departments across the resorts will spend weeks transforming ideas into giant handcrafted kites measuring up to five meters in length. A panel of judges consisting of respected Balinese kite artisans and cultural experts, Kadek Armika and Kadek Meranggi, alongside a special guest judge, will evaluate each team based on creativity, craftsmanship, storytelling, and overall presentation.

Following the festival, media partners will be invited to continue the celebration at Fisherman’s Club, Andaz Bali, by Hyatt’s beachfront seafood restaurant, for an intimate early dinner and a special introduction to Andaz Twilight, inspired by the golden hours before sunset.
