Best Time To Go To Bali 

So, you're all set to take your groups on an amazing wellness retreat to Bali, but now comes the burning question: when is the best time to go? 

Bali enjoys a tropical climate, with temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit all year round. However, it's essential to consider Bali's distinct wet and dry seasons when planning your retreat.  

The rainy season spans from November to March, with significant rainfall, particularly in January and February. Outdoor activities and beach days might be challenging during this time due to daily rains, high humidity, and mosquito issues. 

On the other hand, the dry season, from April to October, brings clear, sunny skies and limited rainfall. It's the perfect time for beach relaxation, water sports, and thrilling adventures. Keep in mind, though, that this period coincides with peak tourist season, particularly in July and August, resulting in higher room rates and more crowds at popular attractions. 

For the best of both worlds, consider organizing your retreat during the shoulder months of April/May and September/October. You'll still enjoy fantastic weather and clear skies, but with fewer tourists, you'll have a more peaceful experience at iconic landmarks like temples, waterfalls, and beaches. Plus, you might snag more budget-friendly room rates during these delightful shoulder months, ensuring a memorable and blissful retreat for all your participants.
