The Rise of the Phoenix

Adding a touch of colour & theatre to the sky above OMNIA, we have worked closely with the local Banjar community over the last few months to create a set of kites especially to be flown above OMNIA every Sunday for our weekly Phoenix party’s.

Kite flying is taken very seriously in Bali, with the annual kite season seeing many wonderful homemade kites flown above the islands rice fields and beaches, & as with most things in Bali the kites also take on a spiritual meaning with a number of the bespoke Balinese Kite designs & colors taking on spiritual meanings.

The color red symbolises Brahma, the god who created the universe. White is for Vishnu, the protector. Black symbolizes Shiva (also spelled Shiwa or Ishwara), who is the destroyer. All kites must include these colors of the holy trinity along with yellow. Yellow is in appreciation of Dewata Nawasanga, the eight gods of eight directions.

Our OMNIA Kites have been carefully crafted by the local Banjar kite association and will be flown weekly (weather permitting) above the OMNIA vista every Sunday by a dedicated local kite crew.

Be sure to check out our stunning kites every Sunday at OMNIA’s weekly celebration of good grooves, house and disco, PHOENIX Sundays.
