Bali, nicknamed "the island of the gods," remains Indonesia's most iconic destination, known for its omnipresent Balinese Hinduism, terraced rice fields and renowned surf beaches. Unlike most of Thailand or Vietnam, its dry season falls right in the European winter, from April to October.
Temples and rice terraces
Balinese temples (including Tanah Lot, perched on a wave-battered rock) and the rice terraces of Jatiluwih or Tegalalang rank among the island's best-known images.
Surf and beaches
The southwest coast, around Uluwatu and Canggu, is known for world-class surf spots, while the island's southeast offers calmer beaches.
Diving and nightlife
The waters around Bali and its neighboring islands (Nusa Penida) offer well-known diving, while the island's south concentrates a developed nightlife, especially around Seminyak and Canggu.
Bali has an international airport (Ngurah Rai, Denpasar); the dry season, April to October, stays the most reliable, with a visitor peak in July-August.
