Bali remains one of the world’s most loved travel destinations all year round. During the rainy season, travellers often ask about flooding and safety. The good news is that flooding in Bali is usually localized and short-lived, and many popular destinations remain unaffected.

Here’s what our travellers should know to stay safe and comfortable while enjoying Bali during the rainy season.

-       Understanding Flooding in Bali

Heavy rain can occasionally cause flooding in certain urban or low-lying areas. These events typically affect specific streets or neighborhoods, not entire regions. Hotels, resorts, and tourism operators are well-prepared and work closely with local authorities to ensure guest safety.

-       Our Safety Advice for Travelers

We recommend our guests:

• Follow guidance from hotel and tour staff
• Avoid traveling through flooded roads, the road surface may collapse beneath the water.
• 15 cm of moving water can knock down an adult.
•  30 cm of moving water can sweep away a car.
• Stay in accommodations located on higher ground
• Allow flexibility in daily itineraries during heavy rain
