Bali at a Glance
New to Bali? Start with the essentials, then explore the more detailed guides below.
When to Visit
Bali has warm tropical weather throughout the year. May often brings relatively drier conditions, making it a popular time for beach holidays while avoiding the peak visit times of Australian’s during their school holiday periods in early April and July.

It’s one of my favourite choices for families who want a proper resort holiday while still being able to walk out and explore the local area.

Think tropical gardens, beachfront living and the kind of resort where you can genuinely arrive, unpack and barely need to leave.

Set in Bali’s stunning northwest, it offers private villas, tropical gardens and a beachfront setting that feels worlds away from Canguu.
