Mark Your Calendar: Mekotek Celebration in Munggu Village

If you’re visiting Bali around November, you’re in for a rare and unforgettable cultural experience, the Mekotek tradition, one of the island’s most unique ceremonies that blends history, faith, and community spirit.

Mekotek, also known as Grebek Mekotek, takes place in Munggu Village, Mengwi (Badung Regency), and is held every six months and after Kuningan Day (29 Nov 2025), a sacred Balinese Hindu celebration. The word “Mekotek” comes from the sound “tek-tek,” echoing when hundreds of men clash long wooden poles (around 3–4 meters) together, forming tall towers of sticks as a symbol of unity and strength.

Originally performed as a war ritual to bless the soldiers of Mengwi Kingdom before battle, today Mekotek represents victory of good over evil, harmony within the community, and gratitude for peace and prosperity. The event is filled with excitement, music, and traditional dress, an incredible sight for travelers who want to witness Bali’s authentic heritage beyond the beaches.

If your holiday in Sanur falls around this time, don’t miss the chance to see the Mekotek ceremony, just ask our concierge team and they will help you to celebration of courage, unity, and Balinese spirit that you won’t forget. Plan your November stay here.

“Highly recommend! This was our 6th family trip to Bali, and we have stayed here every visit. The suite has all the amenities for a comfortable stay, the breakfast buffet and in fact all the food is sensational, and the pool, bar and surrounds are on point. The most fabulous feature though, are the management and staff. They are our family, and from our very first stay over 10 years ago, most of the staff are still there and make our stay so very enjoyable.” – Rachael S
