Bali has two main seasons: dry (April to October) and wet (November to March). The dry season brings consistent sunshine, calmer seas, and is the most popular window for beach days and outdoor sightseeing — June to August is peak season, so expect higher prices and busier spots. April, May, September, and October offer similar weather with fewer crowds.
The wet season isn't a washout either — rain typically comes in short afternoon bursts rather than all-day downpours, and hotel and flight prices are noticeably lower. Which season suits you depends on whether you're prioritizing guaranteed sunshine or a quieter, better-value trip.
