Bali’s dry season runs from May to September, and May, June and July are the best months for a beach holiday. If you want sunshine and Bali at the height of the season, this is the time to visit.

The monsoon season runs from October to April. The name refers to the winds, and even when they get strong, most days still have sunshine and warmth.

The wet season is also a good time for surfers, as the waves around Indonesia are at their best.
