Every Thursday morning, something meaningful happens at Sun Island Hotel & Spa Kuta. Guests gather not just to watch but to take part in one of Bali’s most cherished cultural rituals: the making of Canang Sari. Guided by our warm and welcoming team, you’ll learn the significance behind every petal and leaf, each one placed with intention, love, and gratitude. This isn’t just a hotel experience; it’s a chance to slow down, connect, and be part of something deeply rooted in Balinese culture.
Explore how this mindful tradition adds a deeper layer of meaning to your Bali stay.
Canang Sari are those gorgeous little flower baskets you see everywhere in Bali! These palm leaf creations aren’t just pretty decorations. They’re daily offerings that locals make with love and place around their homes and temples
• White rice = purity and peace
• Yellow flowers = prosperity and happiness
• Red petals = courage and strength
• Green leaves = nature’s harmony
Every morning, Balinese families create these colorful masterpieces as a way to start their day with gratitude and positive vibes.
Picture yourself surrounded by colorful flowers, laughing with our amazing team, and getting your hands delightfully messy with petals and leaves. That’s exactly what happens every Thursday from 8am to 10am in this special Canang Sari offering that’s become part of Kuta’s most beloved Balinese cultural activities.
