Pick a destination

Going to Bali feels like going on a never-ending adventure, there is some activity to suit everybody! From surfing, yoga, trekking, delicious food, or amazing nightlife.

Like every tourist island, certain areas of Bali have been influenced by tourism, with hubs of cute cafes, hip bars, and vegan restaurants. Other areas are quite remote, maintaining their uniquely Balinese beauty and charm.

Best time to visit Bali?

Best time to visit Bali is during the island’s dry season. From May to October, you won’t have to worry about rain ruining any outdoor activities, and humidity levels are low all summer.

The only downside is that it’s the most popular time to go. Flights are more expensive during this period, but as usual, they depend on where are you flying from. I went to Singapore first and then to Bali and I can say that prices weren’t that high. But be sure to book your first choice hotels and flights months in advance.

If you don’t mind the short rainstorms, visit Bali between November and April. There’s still plenty of things to do, and it’s the cheapest time to go!
