Bali in May 2025: Should I go on vacation? Weather in Nusa-Dua and Kuta, reviews, air and water temperature, ticket prices and hotels. How to do and what to look at Bali in early May and closer to June, where to go and go with children – in the material of Eurotraveler.
Bali is a unique island. Not only because of crazy beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the presence of incredible natural beauties, rich opportunities for amateur diving, but also for another, much more mundane reason.
The fact is that the local high season begins at a time when the neighbors – the same Thailand – it already ends. And on other seas – black and Mediterranean – no exception – has not yet begun at all.
Yes, everything is just like that! So those who go to relax in Bali in May and early June, without exaggeration, are real lucky ones.
Yes, of course, they are still not poor people – a trip to Indonesia has never been an inexpensive pleasure. But first of all, nevertheless: prudent and able to fully use the citizens given a chance.
After all, it was in May on Bali that the weather finally begins to enter a pleasant rut. The frequency of tropical rain is reduced, the ocean is warming, and … winds. However, in this period, on the contrary, they become stronger.
Which, on the one hand, creates well -known problems for those who want to swim (although Bali, as the famous opinion says, is “not about swimming”). And on the other hand, the surfers of all stripes are very pleasing.
Weather at Bali in May
The Internet prevails on the Internet that it is: dry and sunny. What immediately resurrects a captivating picture in the memory: red -hot sand, buried with its “panicles” palm trees and almost immovable sea spread out to the horizon.
Reality, however, looks different: amazingly sunny days happen, but variable-high-high days prevail. As for dryness, then in Bali in May it is not worth waiting for it – humidity does not fall below 80%.
Daytime air temperatures are not too high and disciplined in the interval of +28-32 ° C. Night below, up to +24-26 ° C, which allows those who do not love hot weather to recover.
The likelihood of precipitation in May is in Nusa-Dua on the east coast, which in Jimbaran is approximately the same on the West. For the whole month, no more than 5-7 days will turn out to be relatively inconspicuous. Rains are thoroughly strong, but quickly end-otzovik.com/otdih_na_kurorte_nusa-dua_Bali/.
But no one can guarantee that every day you can swim in the sea, which is more than the ocean here. Since May at Bali is a very windy month, and in the reviews you will find a lot of evidence that.
In view of this, follow the young children, do not let them go into the water alone. Well, the hotel pools, of course, are also a way out – provided that you will observe the child, and will not fall into half -saving on a sun lounger.
The sea temperature at Bali in early May reaches +28-29 ° C. But by the end of the month, water can cool noticeably-up to +25-26 ° C.

As for Kuta, that is, even the neighboring village of Legian on the western coast of the island, we recommend the excellent hotel The Mahata with a large pool. A week of living in it will cost the outcome of spring 400 + € for two, but this is an excellent investment. If you like to be in the thick of resort events. And, of course, do not mind watching the epic in Bali by sunset.
In general, inexpensions and excursions on the island. So, for example, go to a tour of Bali with a visit to the forest of monkeys, inspection of rice terraces and a visit to Uboda will turn out if you pay 60-70 €.

Where to go
In general, the travelers who do not seek adventure, who go to Bali, in May, in any other month, prefer to settle in comfortable hotels in Nusa-Dua. After all, there is best developed hotel and all related infrastructure, beautiful sandy beaches, convenient entry into the water.
The coastal reefs in Nusa Dua significantly soothe the sea even in windy weather. There are places where it will not work, but to swim even during the tide, the water is clean, there are no underwater currents.
A very good beach of Padang Padang-when the locals do not massively rest on it. Respectable gentlemen, prone to relaxing, as well as families with children, should choose a bathroom on the east coast.
Striving for extreme and cheerful noisy pastime, most likely, will go to Kutu. Although there is almost always a huge wave, there is a strong junk sector and the ocean often throws the shore with garbage.
Active youth, which, in addition, also has money, perhaps settle in Seminayak. It is unlikely that it will be possible to swim in the sea there, but for surfing this place is suitable almost all year round.
Fans of “beautiful life” and seafood will certainly settle or at least go to Jimbaran. Although, perhaps, they will be disappointed: to promote wealthy foreigners who want to bite the lobster with a view of the sunset, they learned perfectly at this Bali resort.
What to see
First of all, you should relax and relax. Along the way, delighting your consciousness by the fact that you definitely managed to get ahead of the time, having gone in the present summer even before it (in Russia) has come.
It is quite natural that even the most difficult vacationers to climb the time will choose time for more active entertainment. After, for example, how to carefully read our list of places that you need to look first at Bali.
We will not bring it completely here – we will only briefly outline in which direction it is worth moving).
The first thing that a traveler who first ended up at Bali usually wants to go to the volcano. And although there are two of them on the island, for (relatively) a safe rise, we can only recommend Batur.
Again, excursions are regularly carried to him. And the views that open from above will probably fill you with love for the island.
But on the main Balian volcano, Agung, you can’t rise so simply – the hill has a restless disposition. In November 2017, her eruption led to the evacuation of tourists from the island. Again, the height of the Agung, sacred according to the local beliefs of the hill, is more than 3 km. Yes, and the steepness of the slope, reaching almost 45 degrees, hints at the extreme desire of good physical training.
However, on the slopes of this volcano there is the main local temple of the demons, which certainly should be visited by Bali. If only because there are amazing energy. The last tourist reviews, however, contain a lot of complaints about the completely inappropriate behavior of local residents.
In the list of mandatory attractions on Bali, Pura Tanya-Lot, the Hindu sanctuary and a very picturesque place also appear on Bali. Still, because this temple settled on the island and incredibly photogenic against the backdrop of an exciting ocean. Especially – in pre -order hours!
The city of Ubud and the forest of the monkeys next to it will pass a rare tour of the island. Equally, tourists should see the rice terraces of Tegallang – at least on the way to Batur.
What to do
We will advise families with children to hold a day in the Waterbom Bali water park, which got a little south of Kuta. Well, we recommend fans of spectacular natural species to go on an excursion to the island of Nusa-Penida. To west you can make a dive into a manta-punch, all year round, and May is no exception-here you can see a mant, giant sea devils, in a natural habitat.
Gili islands will probably like those who would like to relax from noisy tourist crowds. But he will probably want to visit the scrap in Indonesia, not even every tenth tourist. Although this promises to obtain completely exclusive impressions.
The loss of those 5 hours of time that you spend on a ferry (in each direction) will pay off a hundredfold. After all, the beaches on Lombok are better than Balia, vacationers are less than an order of magnitude, and climbing the Rinjani volcano will allow the pioneer real delight.
