Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is considered the holiest month in Islam. It is a period of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide. During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset, and focus on spiritual activities such as reading the Quran, performing additional prayers, and engaging in charitable acts. The month of Ramadan ends with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a festive occasion that marks the breaking of the fast and is usually celebrated with family and friends.

While Bali is predominantly Hindu, there is a small Muslim community on the island that celebrates Eid al-Fitr or Eid Mubarak. The celebration usually involves communal prayers in local mosques, followed by visits to family and friends to exchange greetings and enjoy traditional Eid foods such as ketupat, rendang, and sweets. If you happen to be in Bali during Eid al-Fitr, you can ask around for the nearest mosque to join in the Eid prayer, or you can visit the Muslim-friendly areas such as Kuta, Legian, or Denpasar, where you can find shops selling Eid-related items, decorations, and food. You may also witness colorful processions and traditional performances in some Muslim villages, such as Kintamani and Buleleng. As always, it is important to respect the local customs and traditions and dress modestly when visiting mosques or attending Eid celebrations.

Legian is one of the areas that has become a tourist destination, especially in the culinary field for breaking the fast. Not just restaurants, hotels in the area also provide various choices during this festive season. Neo+ Kuta Legian has a large selection of delectable iftar dishes, from appetizers to desserts.

Located on Jalan Troppozone no.8 Legian, Neo+ Kuta is close to the center of the crowd, making it easy to reach for guests who want to celebrate Eid with a beautiful view of the swimming pool at sunset.
