☀️ Dry Season: May to September (Best Overall)

If you’re looking for perfect beach days and golden sunsets, the dry season is your best bet. Skies are clear, humidity is low, and the ocean sparkles under the sun—ideal for lounging by the infinity pool or heading to iconic beaches like Padang Padang, Bingin, and Dreamland.

• Best for: Surfing, sunbathing, outdoor adventures, weddings, and honeymoons
• Bonus: The famous Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu Temple is especially magical during these sunset months

🌊 Surf Season: April to October

Uluwatu is a world-renowned surf destination, and its waves come alive between April and October. From beginner-friendly beaches to pro-level barrels, there’s something for every surfer.

• Best breaks: Uluwatu Main Point, Padang Padang, Impossibles
• Tip: Book your stay at Villa KaliBali early—this is high season for surf travelers!

🌧️ Wet Season: November to March (Still Beautiful!)

While rain is more frequent, Bali’s wet season brings a peaceful, lush beauty to Uluwatu. Mornings are often sunny, with showers passing in the afternoon or evening. It’s also a great time to enjoy fewer crowds and better rates on accommodations.

• Best for: Romantic escapes, wellness retreats, photography, and cultural tours
• Villa Tip: Enjoy cozy spa treatments, rooftop yoga, and in-villa dining during the rain.
