Timing

Best Times to Visit Bali

The island's dry season from April to October is ideal for beach and outdoor activities, with April to June and September offering the best balance of weather and crowd levels.

July to August and the Christmas-New Year period are peak seasons, with higher prices and lower availability. The wet season from November to March brings higher humidity and occasional heavy showers, but also fewer tourists.

  • Book well in advance for peak times
  • Wet season: a more tranquil experience
