A month-by-month read on Bali’s weather, crowds, and pricing — written by the team that runs your transfer.
Three broad seasons shape Bali: a peak dry period (June–September), two shoulder windows (April–May, October–November), and a green wet season (December–March). Each suits a different traveler — here is how we plan around them.
Temperatures sit at 27–30°C with rainfall averaging 250–350 mm per month. Crowds are low (except around Chinese New Year), villa rates drop 20–30% versus peak, and the island feels lush. White-water rafting, spa retreats, and Ubud cultural days work best in this window.
28–31°C, rainfall easing to 90–150 mm. Diving visibility improves, Mount Batur sunrise treks reopen reliably, and villas remain 10–15% cheaper than July rates. Our most-requested travel window for couples who want the dry-season experience without dry-season pricing.
26–29°C, rainfall under 50 mm, around nine hours of daily sunshine. Crowds spike around 40% in popular areas, and premium pricing runs 25–40% above off-season. We recommend booking 6–9 months ahead; luxury villas start from $3,500+ per week.
27–30°C with strong weather and noticeably fewer tourists. Marine visibility exceeds 20 m — ideal for diving in Amed, Tulamben, and Nusa Penida. A favourite of repeat visitors and photographers.
27–30°C with rainfall rising back to 150–300 mm. Waterfalls run spectacularly, cultural immersion and wellness days are at their best, and pricing spikes again mid-December through the first week of January — the peak holiday window.
