Best time to visit Bali

Skip July-August when Canggu becomes Melbourne-on-Sea. April and May are the sweet spot: dry-enough weather, unlocked yoga classes, and beaches you can actually see.

Why this window

April and May catch the tail of the rains — mornings still bright, rice terraces vividly green, and Seminyak villa rates a fraction of August. Ubud feels human again.

Skip the tourist trap.

Ubud for culture, Uluwatu for surf and cliffs — skip Seminyak unless you want the crowd.
