At Jumeirah Bali, Negroni Week takes on a distinctly local approach, marrying the classic Italian cocktail with Balinese and Javanese tradition.
What kind of setting calls for a good glass of Negroni? For some, anything goes. But Jumeirah Bali makes sure that this never becomes unceremonious. For Negroni Week 2026 on 21-27 September, the resort’s on-site bars find inspiration from its location on the island and Javanese temple-inspired interiors for a cocktail list that shakes up the Negroni game.
At Maja Sunset Lounge, guests can find two iterations of the classic cocktail as The Aged Negroni. Choose between a concoction of a coastal herbs-infused gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth that has been aged in oak barrels for three months, or the unique addition of barrel-aged Balinese arak, mesoyi wood, and a local coffee blend to the traditional recipe that has been rested in clay pots for three days. The most unique is The Maja Signature, JamuGroni, a Javanese riff that incorporates local herbal botanicals traditionally used in jamu into the Negroni, topped with some wine caviar for a regal flair.
The stately AKASA Restaurant & Bar also puts its own take on the classic cocktail. Inspired by Trowulan, the ancient capital of the Majapahit Empire (which serves as the blueprint for the resort itself), three signature Negroni creations come together to regale the Trowulan Tales, a journey through the Indonesian archipelago’s botanical richness. Go back in time to the nation’s spice journey with Woods Negroni, elongated with Java tea and mesoyi wood; Roots Negroni, which adds the earthiness of turmeric Mezcal Espadín and root powder; and Floral Negroni, a fragrant twist incorporating kenanga (ylang-ylang) and finished with a floral spray.
Still, for those who want to kick back with a fuss-free nightcap, both venues serve selections from The Negroni Family Tree. Patrons can choose between the Classic Negroni, Boulevardier, Oaxacan, and Wugroni for something familiar and comforting.
