Bali is a tropical island in Indonesia and a great travel destination at any time of the year. That being said, some months are better than others for a Bali vacation.

Ubud and Bali’s west coast beaches tend to be crowded in the drier months. It’s the peak season for tourists and it’s a good time to escape to the mountains and to less visited parts of the island like Lovina, Amed, Tirta Gangga, and Sideman.

For Bali in the dry season, pack lightweight cotton clothes, shorts, and a swimsuit. A long-sleeved shirt, sarong, and sandals are a good idea for visiting temples and long pants will offer some protection on a motorbike.

The wet season is the best time to visit the popular west coast beach areas like Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu if you want to avoid the crowds in the busier months.
