Bali

Whether you want to drift off on a tranquil beach, sample some unforgettable nightlife or venture further afield to explore a stunning landscapes, the Indonesian island of Bali is the ideal holiday destination to do as little or as much as you like.

Dramatic volcanic cones and beautifully patterned paddy fields of rice stretch down towards stunning white – and black – sand beaches, lapped by the warm blue waters of the Indian Ocean, while intricate temples set the scene against some of the world’s best renowned sunset vistas.

For those seeking nightlife on a stunning white sand beach, Kuta and Seminyak are lined by superb resorts and copious social spots from which to play and relax, Sanur and Jimbaran enjoy a quieter ambience, while the central town of Ubud is a treasure trove of art, cultures and verdant landscapes.

When to Visit

Below gives you information and a rating of the best time of year to visit.

January

The wettest month though the rain normally comes in short sharp bursts so the majority of the day will still be sunshine. Expect humid conditions for this reason.

February

Short and sharp intense rain will continue as will the humidity. If you’re a diver, the water won’t be the clearest so avoid this time of year.

March

Afternoon showers will continue to be normal as will the intense humidity. Not the best time to be here if you can avoid it though the inland can offer some respite.

Nyepi is the Balinese new year and this happens in March. Whilst this may sound exciting, this is traditionally celebrated in silence and tourists are expected to stay in their hotel rooms.

April

The wet season is starting to finish, hooray! Warm, dry conditions throughout the day will begin to become the norm. Diving conditions are now becoming much better.

The Bali Spirit Festival normally happens around Mar/Apr and celebrates music, wellness and yoga.

May

You can expect temperatures to reach the 30’s and consistently dry conditions. For divers and mountain climbers, you’re in for treat as this is a good month to travel and because it’s not the peak season, good deals are around.

June

A great time to visit to take advantage of the warm temperatures, lower crowds and holiday deals on offer.

July

Water visibility and diving are excellent this month and the weather is sublime! To avoid higher prices and crowds, visit before the School Holidays begin.

August

The sunniest month of the year though to take advantage of this, you’ll need to pay higher prices due to resorts becoming busier.

September

A great time to visit to take advantage of the warm temperatures, lower crowds and holiday deals on offer.

October

Whilst officially the start of the wet season, diving is still popular due to clear waters but unlike the dry season, you may receive some short bursts of showers.

November

Probably a month to avoid if you can. Wetter conditions and not ideal for many of the many activities you may be wanting to get involved in such as hiking or trekking.

December

Well into the wet season now but you can still expect large periods of daily sunshine.
