Best Time to Visit Bali

The best time to visit Bali is during the dry season (April–October), offering sunny weather and low humidity, perfect for outdoor activities like surfing, hiking, and exploring the island’s iconic beaches and temples. If you prefer fewer crowds, the wet season (November–March) provides lush greenery and a more tranquil atmosphere.

Here is a quick breakdown:

• Dry Season (April – October): Ideal for outdoor activities with sunny weather and low humidity
• Wet Season (November–March): Perfect for lush landscapes and a quieter experience, though rain is more frequent
• Shoulder Months (April, May, September, October): Best for a quieter, budget-friendly trip

Things to Know

• Peak Season (July & August): School holidays bring more tourists, so book accommodations in advance
• Nyepi (Balinese New Year): Visit in March for a unique experience when everything shuts down for 24 hours to allow for reflection, fasting, and spiritual purification

No matter when you go, Bali offers incredible experiences year-round. For more tips and insights about the island, read our in-depth blogs about Bali!
