Best Time to Visit
Dry season (April to October) is ideal for beach activities and outdoor dining. Expect the busiest crowds in July–August and around late December–early January. For fewer crowds and lower rates try shoulder months (April–June, September).
Weather Conditions
Tropical climate with temperatures typically 26–32°C (79–90°F). Dry season (April–Oct) is sunnier and less humid; wet season (Nov–Mar) brings heavier rain showers and higher humidity.
Accessibility
Nearest airport: Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar) — roughly 20–40 minutes by car depending on traffic. Local transport: taxis, ride-hailing apps (Grab/Gojek), private transfers, and scooter rentals. Streets can be busy—walking is easy in compact areas but be cautious crossing roads. Accessibility for travelers with reduced mobility varies; many beachfront venues have ramps but some narrow lanes and uneven pavements exist.
Recommended Duration
Ideal stay: 3–5 days to experience beaches, dining, shopping, a spa day, and at least one day trip. Combine with other Bali regions for a longer itinerary.
Clothing & Gear Tips
Lightweight, breathable clothing; swimwear; reef-safe sunscreen; a sarong or scarf for temple visits; comfortable sandals; a light rain jacket in wet season; insect repellent. If renting scooters, bring a jacket and helmet (helmets often provided).
Local Food & Souvenirs
Must-try foods: nasi campur, fresh seafood, Balinese desserts, local coffee (kopi), and traditional offerings like babi guling where available. Popular souvenirs: batik textiles, handmade jewelry, surfwear, spa products (essential oils, incense), wood carvings, and locally designed homewares. When shopping in markets, polite bargaining is common outside fixed-price boutiques.
