Indonesia Long Weekends 2026
The SKB joint decree deliberately places Indonesia’s 8 cuti bersama (collective leave) days next to its 17 national holidays, producing nine long weekends in 2026 — more than any other ASEAN country. The headline is the 7-day Nyepi–Lebaran super break of March 18–24, followed by three 4-day breaks (Chinese New Year, Ascension Day, Christmas) and five natural 3-day weekends.

Compliance Notice: Leave planning recommendations are calculated for vacation optimization. Taking annual leave is subject to your employment contract, employer approval, and local labor legislation.
Check your contract first: cuti bersama is optional for private companies
Five of the nine breaks below depend on cuti bersama days, and those are only mandatory for civil servants. Private companies decide whether to observe them — and when they do, the days usually come out of your annual leave. Before booking Lebaran or Christmas travel, confirm which days your employer actually grants. Banks, government offices and many corporates do close, so business slows down regardless.
The March super break is the one to plan around: Nyepi (Mar 19), Idul Fitri (Mar 21–22) and five cuti bersama days fuse into seven straight days off, with government-endorsed work-from-anywhere on Mar 16–17 and 25–27. Mudik (homecoming) traffic peaks on Mar 18 outbound and Mar 24 on the return — and Bali’s airport shuts completely for 24 hours on Nyepi itself.

Frequently asked questions
How many long weekends does Indonesia have in 2026?
Nine: the 7-day Nyepi–Lebaran break (Mar 18–24), three 4-day breaks — Chinese New Year (Feb 14–17), Ascension Day (May 14–17) and Christmas (Dec 24–27) — plus five 3-day weekends around Isra Mi’raj, Easter, Labour Day, Waisak & Pancasila Day and Independence Day.
What is the longest break in Indonesia in 2026?
March 18–24, 2026 — seven straight days combining Nyepi (Mar 19), Idul Fitri (Mar 21–22) and five cuti bersama days. The government also allows work-from-anywhere on Mar 16–17 and 25–27, so many people effectively take almost two weeks.
Do private-sector employees get the cuti bersama days off?
Not automatically. Cuti bersama is mandatory only for civil servants (without reducing their annual leave). Private companies choose whether to observe it, and when they do, the days are typically deducted from annual leave — so a “9 long weekends” year can look different depending on your employer.
Does Indonesia move holidays that fall on a weekend?
No — Indonesia has no substitute-holiday rule. Weekend holidays like Idul Fitri (Sat–Sun) and Waisak (Sun) in 2026 are not moved; instead the government schedules cuti bersama days around major festivals to build the longer breaks listed here.
What should Bali travelers know about the March 2026 break?
Nyepi falls on March 19, 2026: for 24 hours from 6am the whole island stops — Ngurah Rai Airport closes, roads are off-limits and tourists must stay inside their hotels. It sits right at the start of the Mar 18–24 super break, so flights around Mar 18–20 sell out early. The airport reopens at 6am on March 20.
Where can I download the Indonesia 2026 holiday calendar?
Our Indonesia 2026 public holidays page and the holiday calendar downloads hub offer ICS and CSV files based on the official SKB decree, with national holidays and cuti bersama days marked separately.
