Average temperatures stay between 26 and 32 °C. The dry season runs from April to October, the rainy season from November to March — but even then it usually rains for only a few hours in the afternoon.
East Bali, where our villas stand, has milder rainfall than the south of the island. The sea stays around 27 °C year-round. The most settled weather tends to be in July and August, but every season has its charm.
When visiting temples, cover your shoulders and knees with a sarong and sash (usually lent at the entrance). The head is sacred to the Balinese — don't touch it, and never point at anyone with your feet.
Hand objects over with your right hand, avoid overly revealing clothing away from the beach and public displays of affection. Locals appreciate a few polite phrases and a smile — the universal language of Bali. If you come across a ceremony, wait for the procession to pass.
Scooter rental is the most common option — the greatest freedom, but it requires experience and care; the traffic can feel chaotic to Europeans. For longer journeys and family trips we recommend our experienced driver with an air-conditioned car who knows the roads and local quirks.
Alternatives are the Grab and Gojek apps. Allow extra time — distances are short, but the traffic is dense. Around our villas in the east the traffic is calmer. We're happy to arrange the airport transfer (the drive takes about 2.5 hours) and a driver for your whole stay.
