Dry season (April–October): Warm, sunny days, calm seas and best surf on reef breaks. This is peak travel July–August, with high prices and lively beach clubs; shoulder months April–June and September–October combine good weather with fewer crowds and better deals. Wet season (November–March): Hotter, more humidity and daily short heavy showers; seas can be rough. This is off-peak for many travelers so prices fall and hotels run promotions, though December–early January become busy again for Christmas/New Year. Seasonal events: Nyepi (usually March) shuts the island for a silent day—unique cultural experience but businesses close. Galungan/Kuningan (dates vary) offers colorful temple ceremonies across the year. For the liveliest beach-club scene, visit in the dry-season shoulder months.
