Bali is a destination of many delights! As the most sought-after destination in Indonesia, Bali is home to 13 unique regions, including lush jungles, coral reefs, and endless stretches of stunning beaches.

Whether you love soul-filling Ubud for its lush vegetation and yoga postures, creative Canggu for its seaside bliss and digital nomad surfer lifestyle, stunning Seminyak for its high-end restaurants and luxe villas, fun Kuta for its vibrant nightlife and shopping, or Manggis for its east coast beauty and cultural traditions, there’s a perfectly packaged My Bali deal waiting for you. There’s so much to discover in Bali, so be prepared to want to be packing your bags again the moment you leave. Also, be prepared to add on a couple of days if you wish for relaxation time, because there will be so much to explore.

Aussies love Bali, with good reason. Bali is in the perfect position for tropical warmth all year round. The best times to visit are May to October. Here’s a handy checklist of what to pack.

• Two swimsuits (alternate between drying/wearing)
• Loads of sunscreen
• Hat
• Sneakers for walking
• Hiking boots if you plan on hiking
• Thongs (flip-flops)
• Sarong that doubles as towel/dress/scarf
• Sunglasses
• A big lightweight bag (for flight/beach/market/shopping)
• Headphones
• A good book
• Covered clothing for Hindu temples
• A photocopy of your passport
• Portable phone charger
• Earplugs and eye mask for bedtime

Don’t pack beach towels, snorkelling gear, or warm clothes. You won’t need them. Avoid bringing expensive items in case you lose them. You also don’t need a power adapter – most hotels have power outlets that accept Australian devices.

Bali is a tropical island so you can expect warm, sunny, and sometimes humid weather. Despite having two distinct seasons (dry and wet), the average temperature is consistent at a top of 30°C year-round. You will find the mountains a little cooler at an average of 27°C during the day.

Bali’s climate starts to enter the dry season from May and lasts through to October. The wet season spans from November through to April with heavy yet very short rain showers (usually at night). Sporadic tropical rainfalls can be a welcome change on a hot day, and make for a beautiful green setting, especially in Ubud.

When in Bali, be sure to observe all the normal precautions that you would whenever travelling overseas. While many areas of Bali are modernising, some parts of the island are raw and traditional or underdeveloped. It is advised to only drink from bottled water, which your hotel will supply you with. The sunny Bali weather will leave you thirsty so take bottled water with you wherever you go. Also, refrain from ordering ice in your drinks to be safe.
