Flights from Singapore to Bali

Bali - discover paradise

Bali is possibly the epitome of everyone's idea of paradise offering beautiful beaches, Hindu temples and yoga retreats.

Weather and events: When's the best time to travel

Bali has year round warm weather so whenever you go, you'll be bathed in tropical temperatures between 22ºC and 32ºC. Although temperatures are consistent, there is a rainy season which runs from Nov-March. During this time you may have daily rain showers, but these are generally short.

Schedule your holiday for the Nyepi celebrations which is a New Year celebration. This is a 6-day festival with parades, but unlike most countries which celebrate with fireworks, parties and loud singing, Nyepi is the opposite. Beginning on the second night and into the third day, the island is bathed in silence. No traffic, no restaurants are open and no one is allowed to go to the beach. In a fast paced world it is amazing to experience serenity if only for a day.
