What to expect

When to go

Being a tropical island, Bali is nearly always humid, more so during the wet season (October to March). Although rains usually provide a bit of a cooling factor (as well as some localized flooding), the humidity levels soon creep up again. Frequent sea breezes offer blissful relief. Coastal areas are the sunniest, while the highlands can be chilly and cloudy.

Must see sights

Kuta Bay: A popular tourist destination, this albeit-hectic resort area is a mix of beautiful beach and raucous nightlife - choose one or all!

Ubud: Situated in the centre of the island, Ubud has long been the cultural capital of Bali. Woodcarvings, paintings, jewellery, batiks, and other handicrafts are ubiquitous.

Dive in: Colorful tropical fish, coral reefs, and wreckage of the Liberty World War II cargo ship lure divers into Bali’s crystalline waters. Dive centres are located in most resort areas.
