Best Time to Visit Bali

Month-by-month weather, crowds, costs, and activities — find your perfect travel window.

Best months May to September (dry season), especially June and September
June avoids the school-holiday rush while September catches the tail end of dry season with emptier beaches. July–August is peak tourist season with higher prices and crowded Seminyak. If you want lush landscapes and don’t mind afternoon showers, November offers the best value.

Bali has two distinct faces: the dry season (April–October) brings blue skies, calm seas, and perfect beach days, while the wet season (November–March) delivers lush green landscapes, fewer tourists, and dramatically lower prices. Both have their appeal.
