The easiest and most luxurious way to reach Bali is by flying into Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), which has direct flights from major Asian, Australian, and Middle Eastern cities. Private jet charters are also available for a romantic, high-budget getaway. Upon arrival, pre-arranged chauffeured transfers or limousines can whisk you directly to your resort.
There are no trains to Bali, but you can take private yachts or luxury ferries from nearby islands like Lombok or Java for a scenic arrival. The weather from August 14 to 22 is usually sunny and dry, so expect smooth travel with minimal disruptions. For the ultimate romantic touch, consider a private speedboat tour or helicopter transfer.
Bali has a tropical climate with warm, humid weather year-round and temperatures usually between 26°C and 31°C. There are two main seasons: the dry season from April to September and the rainy season from October to March. The dry season is especially popular for visitors as days are sunnier and humidity is lower.
From August 14 to August 22, Bali is in the heart of its dry season. Expect plenty of sunshine, low rainfall, and pleasant evenings—ideal for outdoor family activities, exploring temples, or relaxing at the beach. There are generally no extreme weather events during this time, making it perfect for festivals, vibrant nightlife, and entertainment.
Bali’s cuisine features rich flavors like satay, babi guling (roast suckling pig), bebek betutu (slow-cooked duck), and fresh seafood. Don’t miss sambal (spicy chili paste) and local drinks such as arak or fresh coconut water. Romantic fine-dining options include Locavore in Ubud, Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomique, and the oceanfront Sundara at Four Seasons Jimbaran.
For sunset cocktails, try the Rock Bar in Jimbaran or The Lawn in Canggu. Vegans will find many upscale options, but always check for hidden fish sauce or shrimp paste. Tipping is appreciated but not required—5–10% is generous if a service charge isn’t included. Many restaurants offer candlelit tables and private villas for an unforgettable experience.
