What are the Public Holidays in 2025?
Indonesia observes a variety of public holidays, ranging from religious to national celebrations, and for 2025, there are 16 official public holidays. Additionally, there are several "collective leave" days, known as cuti bersama, which are designated to allow for extended breaks around some holidays. These dates are typically announced through the SKB 3 Menteri (Joint Ministerial Decree) by the Indonesian government.

Additional Notes:
Eid al-Fitr (Hari Raya Idul Fitri) and Eid al-Adha (Hari Raya Idul Adha) are two of the most significant Islamic holidays in Indonesia, often marked by large family gatherings, charitable giving, and prayers. These holidays are typically accompanied by cuti bersama to allow for more extended travel and celebrations.
Nyepi is a unique holiday celebrated primarily in Bali. It is the Hindu "Day of Silence" where activities are completely shut down on the island, including transportation and electricity, to allow for reflection and meditation.
The combination of public holidays and collective leave days ensures that Indonesians can enjoy extended breaks and opportunities for travel, relaxation, and family gatherings throughout the year.
