What sets Bali apart from the other 17,500 islands of Indonesia is its religion. This speck on the map is predominantly Hindu, not Muslim. That's the reason it's peppered with such enchanting temples and shrines, and why incense smokes on the sidewalks. To see some of the most amazing spots for worship, head down to the Uluwatu Temple. It clings to a precipitous cliff face and hosts the iconic Kecak Fire Dance in the evening. Even more dramatic is the island-top temple of Tanah Lot. Its pagoda pokes up from the Bali Sea, accessed by paths cut straight into the rock face.
Wax the board and ready the rash vest because Bali is one of the world's surfing meccas. You can carve tubes at Bingin Beach or join the beginners on the curling breakers of Kuta. Alternatively, just sit with an ice-cold Bintang beer and watch the masterful locals whiz and twirl on the swells. Other sorts of adventures are everywhere. Book Bali vacation rentals in Ubud to hop between mystical temples and bike through terraced rice paddies. Head north and there are sunrise treks up the cone of Mount Batur and cultural encounters with ancient Aga villages.
Bali is just a whisker south of the equator, and humid, hot and tropical all year round. It follows a 2-season pattern that sees the rains come between November and March, and daily highs hover around the 90s, no matter the month. The upshot is that most travelers seek out their surf shacks for the summertime, between June and August, when there are hardly any downpours and the sea is warm and clear. For a great deal on cheap Bali vacation rentals, you could consider a trip in March or April, before the crowds descend and rates increase.
There's a reason that Bali has become a byword for tropical paradise. Like a veritable Hawaii of Southeast Asia, it ranges from smoking volcanic peaks that soar to over 3,000 meters to black-sand beaches, where the waves of the Bali Sea spray their salt wash against carved cliffs. Talking of beaches, the south coast is the place to go for them. Nusa Dua has stretches of yellow sand, while Bukit and Legian have long lengths of wave-washed shore that's great for surfers. Inland are also jungles and rice paddies, all inhabited by monkeys and snakes and buffaloes.
