The easiest way to reach Bali is by flying into Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) near Denpasar, with affordable flights from major Asian and Australian cities. There are no direct trains to Bali, but you can take a train to Banyuwangi on Java, then a short ferry to the Gilimanuk port in northwest Bali, followed by a bus ride.
Ferries and fast boats also connect Bali with Lombok, Gili Islands, and Java; these are budget-friendly and ideal for onward travel. Roads around Bali are well-connected by buses and shared shuttles, perfect for digital nomads exploring coworking hubs. Late October is the start of the rainy season, so occasional heavy rains may affect boat and road travel.
Bali enjoys a tropical climate year-round, with warm temperatures typically ranging from 26°C to 32°C (79°F to 89°F). The island experiences two main seasons: the dry season from April to September and the wet, more humid season from October to March, when rain showers are frequent but often short-lived.
From October 25 to October 31, Bali transitions into its wet season. You can expect mostly warm, humid weather with a higher chance of rain, especially in the afternoons. Extreme weather events are rare during this time, but occasional heavy downpours and brief thunderstorms may occur—so pack a light rain jacket just in case.
Bali’s cuisine features flavorful dishes like nasi goreng (fried rice), mie goreng (fried noodles), babi guling (suckling pig), and sate lilit (minced seafood satay). Don’t miss out on fresh tropical fruits and Bali’s signature coffees. Popular drinks include arak (rice spirit) and local Bintang beer.
For digital nomads, try cafes in Canggu like Crate Cafe or Betelnut for healthy bowls and fast Wi-Fi. Ubud’s Clear Café and Monkey Forest Café offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Beach bars such as La Plancha in Seminyak are great for sunsets and cocktails on a budget.
Tipping isn't compulsory, as many places include a service charge; however, rounding up or leaving small change is appreciated. Bali is vegetarian-friendly but always check for shrimp paste (terasi) in dishes. Also, drink only bottled or filtered water, and check for seasonal specialties during festivals.

For digital nomads seeking villas in Bali, top areas include Canggu and Ubud. Canggu offers vibrant coworking spaces, trendy cafes, and easy beach access, while Ubud is surrounded by lush greenery and ideal for a quieter retreat. Check Hotels.com for villa options suited to an average budget—look for spots with good Wi-Fi and workspace.
Seminyak and Sanur are also popular, providing stylish villas close to dining and nightlife. Hostel-style villas or shared villa complexes can be found by filtering searches on Hotels.com, especially for longer stays. If visiting from October 25 to 31, book early—this is a popular time as the rainy season begins, and sought-after villas can fill quickly.
PRIVATE Authentic Balinese Cooking Class in Ubud at Putu's Home
Join your host Putu in her kitchen for a private, hands-on cooking class. Unlike many other TripAdvisor tours, this is a private experience. You and your host will prepare 2-3 authentic Balinese dishes. As you chop, grind and grill, Putu will teach you about the spices she uses in her family recipes as well as the medicinal qualities of Balinese ingredients. Putu's kitchen is simple, with only a two-burner cooktop but you will be impressed by the speed and fluidity with which she prepares a complex menu with multiple dishes. You will taste a variety of authentic dishes with potential ones being Putu’s grilled eggplant with tomato, grilled fish with Balinese sambal (chili sauce), a curry dish (either chicken, fish or vegetarian) or perhaps a variety of pepes (foods seasoned with local spices, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed). You can expect the cooking lesson to last about 1-2 hours before you sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you helped prepare with your host and her family.
