Believe In Destiny Festival 2026
Believe In Destiny Festival 2026
Believe In Destiny takes over Ubud from 10 to 16 October 2026 — five full days and six nights built around one idea: putting open-minded strangers in the same room and letting something happen. It is aimed squarely at singles and solo travellers, and it is one of the few festivals in Bali where turning up alone is the entire point rather than a drawback.
The week runs as a curated programme rather than a stage and a lineup. Days move through yoga club and breakfast mingles, sound healing, a waterfall and temple tour, a cooking and market tour, a silversmithing workshop and a day club takeover at Cretya. Evenings are the social spine — an opening ceremony, a dinner party under the stars, Latin dance night, dinner with the Wizard, a star-sign brunch, a sunset dinner, and a farewell brunch to close it out. Most workshops and social events are included in the festival pass; a few optional activities are paid and flagged in the programme.
The signature moment is the Ubud Flashmob — a large, music-led gathering in the middle of town, open to anyone in Ubud, not just ticket holders. You can join in or simply watch; there is no pressure to perform.
The base is The Jungle Club in Sukawati, just south of Ubud, with activities spread across the wider Ubud area through the week. Doors on opening day are at 4:00 PM and the festival is 20+. The full pass covers the entire week — early-bird is USD $399 (about Rp 7,100,000) and later releases run to USD $599 (about Rp 10,660,000). Food, drinks, transport and accommodation are not included, so budget for those separately.
Practical notes: book accommodation early, because Ubud fills up in October and the festival draws an international crowd. Yoga mats are provided if you don’t have one. Ubud is roughly 1.5 hours from Ngurah Rai airport, and the programme moves between venues, so a scooter or a reliable Grab habit will make the week far easier. The organisers are explicit that this is not a matchmaking or dating service — it is a week of shared public events, and whatever connections form are simply a by-product of that.
