If you’re planning a trip to Bali, one of the most common questions is: when is the best time to visit Bali? The answer depends on the kind of experience you’re seeking — days spent exploring sunlit rice fields or quiet moments surrounded by lush jungle and tropical rain.
At Milliways Bali, we believe every season brings its own kind of magic. Tucked away in the heart of Ubud, our private jungle retreat was designed to help you slow down and truly feel the rhythm of Bali — whether under clear skies or a curtain of rain.
Bali’s Dry Season (April to October)
The dry season is often considered the best time to visit Bali, especially if you’re here for adventure, exploration, or simply to bask in the island’s beauty. From April to October, the days are warm and sunny, skies are clear, and the air feels crisp — ideal for discovering Ubud’s iconic rice terraces, waterfalls, and cultural sites.
And when the sun is high and you feel like retreating indoors, Milliways has you covered. Our private, air-conditioned speakeasy is designed for moments just like this — a cool, intimate space where you can escape the heat, sip fresh cocktails, and enjoy quality time with your loved ones. It’s one of those hidden corners of Milliways that guests love discovering — perfect for lazy afternoons or winding down after a day of exploring Ubud.
Bali’s Wet Season (November to March)
Known as Bali’s green season, the wet season brings the island to life in a different, almost otherworldly way. From November to March, tropical rains sweep across the jungle, turning the landscape into a lush, vibrant dream. While showers are common, they’re usually short and often arrive in the afternoon, leaving mornings cool, misty, and perfect for slow exploration.
There’s something truly special about experiencing the wet season at Milliways. Rain drumming softly on the jungle canopy, mist rising from the trees, and everything around you glowing in shades of green. And on those rainy days, there’s no better feeling in the world than soaking in our open-air jungle bathtub — warm water, cool rain, and the sounds of nature all around you. It’s peaceful, grounding, and honestly feels like stepping into another world.
When is the Best Time to Visit Ubud?
The beauty of Ubud is that every season offers something different — and equally special.
If you’re dreaming of clear skies, outdoor adventures, and vibrant days, the dry season from April to October is ideal. But if you’re drawn to the lush, tropical side of Bali — when the island is quiet, green, and full of life — the rainy season might just surprise you.
Visiting during March also gives you a chance to experience one of Bali’s most sacred traditions — Nyepi, the Balinese Silent Day. For 24 hours, the entire island comes to a complete stop. No lights, no traffic, no noise — just pure stillness. Experiencing Nyepi from Milliways is unforgettable. With the jungle surrounding you and the sky clear of light pollution, it becomes a night filled with stars and silence.
