Most travelers reach Bali by flying into Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) near Denpasar, with direct flights from major Asian cities and connecting options from Europe and Australia. Flights are affordable with budget airlines such as AirAsia or Scoot, making this the most convenient and economical choice for digital nomads.
You can also reach Bali by ferry from Java (Ketapang to Gilimanuk), easily connecting with trains and buses from Yogyakarta, Surabaya, or Jakarta—this overland journey suits adventurous travelers wanting to save money but takes longer. October typically brings some rain, but it rarely disrupts travel plans or transportation schedules.
Getting around Bali is easy with motorbike rentals, rideshare apps, or local drivers. Internet access and coworking spaces are widespread, helping digital nomads work comfortably during their stay.
Bali has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, usually ranging from 26°C to 31°C (79°F to 88°F). The island experiences two main seasons: the dry season from April to October and the rainy season from November to March. Humidity stays fairly high throughout the year.
From October 10 to October 17, Bali is at the tail end of the dry season. Expect mostly sunny days with occasional brief showers, but no extreme weather is typical during this time. It’s a great period for family activities, outdoor adventures, enjoying arts and culture, and Bali’s vibrant nightlife.
Bali’s cuisine features flavorful dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), satay, babi guling (suckling pig), and lawar (mixed vegetables with coconut and spices). Don’t miss traditional drinks like jamu (herbal tonic) and fresh young coconut water. Warungs—local eateries like Warung Biah Biah or Warung Men Weti—offer tasty, budget-friendly meals.
Trendy digital-nomad hotspots such as Canggu’s Crate Cafe or Ubud’s Clear Cafe cater to coffee lovers and remote workers, offering Wi-Fi, good coffee, and healthy bowls. For casual bars, try Old Man’s or The Shady Pig. Tipping is appreciated but not expected (5–10% is kind), and many places include service charges.
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are widely available, especially in tourist areas. Street food is abundant and cheap, but always choose busy stalls for freshness and safety. Remember that alcohol is pricier due to high taxes, with arak—Balinese rice liquor—as a local specialty, but drink reputable brands for safety.
