What if you could get Bali’s perfect dry season weather—endless sun, low humidity—but before the peak season prices and crowds hit? Welcome to the magic of visiting Bali in May.
Let’s get straight to the forecast. In May, Bali’s temperature is consistently perfect, with average daily highs around 88°F (31°C) and comfortable, warm evenings. More importantly, the rainy season is officially over, giving you clear, sunny skies ideal for beaches and exploring. It’s the start of the best weather of the year.
May is the shoulder season sweet spot. You get all the benefits of the dry season but with fewer tourists and better deals on flights and hotels than you’ll find in June, July, or August.
We’ll break down what to expect from the weather, crowds, and prices. Here’s why May might just be the smartest month to plan your Bali trip.
