About Bali

Bali lies in Indonesia and is a province made up of four islands: Bali, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. Its location is notable, between the islands of Java and Lombok, only 8 degrees from the equator and around 4,555 kilometres from Australia. Bali covers around 5,780 square kilometres, measuring 112 kilometres by 153 kilometres. Its largest city is the capital, Denpasar, home to many attractions and host of the annual arts festival. Bali is known for the great variety of its landscape, with lakes, mountains, soft sandy beaches and black volcanic ones.

The best time to visit Bali

According to travellers and experts, the best time for a trip to Bali is between April and October, which is its dry season, with mild weather and bright sunshine all day and no rain. It is the ideal time for anyone who likes walking amid spectacular scenery and enjoying the enchanting atmosphere, the sun, surfing, swimming and other beach activities — which makes it an ideal time for families and children.

For lovers of rain and winter weather, travelling between November and March suits them better, bearing in mind that the rain in Bali is intermittent, meaning it falls heavily for part of the day and then stops, which gives an opportunity to explore during the calm spells, particularly as the weather stays warm and pleasant.
