Most travelers take cheap flights to Bali during the dry season (June through September) and for Christmas.

It doesn’t rain steadily throughout these months, usually the rains start to fall in December and January.

Peak Season: Summer into early autumn are the busiest periods so you’ll find it a lot harder to find cheap flights to Bali then.

Technically, the flight from the West Coast of the United States to Bali is about 11 to 15 hours. However, because you can’t fly direct to Bali, you should actually plan on two full days of travel time (remember that one of those days consists of the day you lose when you cross the International Date Line). Fly through Singapore or Hong Kong, either of which puts you within four or five hours of Bali by air. Many travelers take advantage of the layover by planning a day or two in these cosmopolitan cities.

The two words to keep in mind when packing for Bali are “tropical” and “casual.” Chances are, you’ll spend most of your time in Bali outdoors, so plan accordingly. Pack heavy-duty sunscreen — if you have ever had a sunburn in your life, the Bali sun will burn you — and don’t forget the mosquito repellent. A hat provides further protection from the sun, and it gives you a way to get long hair off your neck. Casual, beachy clothing is the name of the game for Bali. Pack lightweight, breathable cotton clothing, and make sure you have two swimsuits with you (one to wear while the other’s drying). Don’t forget travel adapters and, if needed, converters for your electronics.

Bali may be a small island, but it’s filled with beauty and adventure if you step away from the pool bar at your hotel. Visit Jagasari, one of the island’s oldest villages, to tour temples, rice terraces and traditional homes. Prince Ajoaes’ Tabanan Palace takes you back to the 17th century with a traditional feast and performances of Balinese dances. Touring the Seven Temples of Enlightenment takes you through World Heritage sites that date back as far as the 10th century, and many other rice terraces and temples are also U.N. World Heritage sites. After a long day of adventure, have a Balinese massage; the unique technique incorporates specific rhythm and should leave you feeling like jelly. While any visitor to Bali (justifiably) spends a lot of time at the beach, look for opportunities to get out on the water as well. A sunset sail on a jukung taking off from a black sand beach may lead you right into a pod of frolicking dolphins, Back on land, explore the Bedugal waterfalls, slip into the healing sulphuric waters of the Banjar Hot Springs, or visit the Temple of the Holy Water, Pura Tirta Empul, also known for its healing waters. If you visit in the spring, you may be in time for a special treat: Nyepi, the Balinese New Year. The whole island participates in cleansing rituals and parades — and then everything shuts down completely, with no noise, no lights and no people in the streets everywhere, as the entire Balinese population spends a day in meditative self-reflection.
