Bali Tourists, Travelers, & Adventure-seekers... Om swastiastu. Welcome to our August issue! August may be the best weather month in Bali. It is often one of the driest months with pleasant temperatures to match. Cooler ocean temperatures make for refreshing dips in the ocean. Beaches are officially opened which is welcome news and August is a great month to be outdoors. For those here in Bali, there continue to be many great deals at hotels and properties across the island. Many properties are offering a version of a “pay now/ stay later” packages offering bargains and flexibility for savvy travelers. Head over to our Hot Deals section to check out some ideas for stays and activities on the island including Renaissance Bali Resort and the Kayana Resort in Seminyak. Also check out our Come Back to Bali (CBB) website where we bring you the best current hospitality offers. Our goal to help stimulate tourism post pandemic by highlighting where the best deals are here on the Island of the Gods. In our Don’t Miss section, read about Indonesian Independence Day, celebrated on August 17 every year. One of the key concepts in the Balinese Hindu religion is to keep nature in balance. Particularly appropriate during these times is the Balinese ceremony called Tumpek Uduh, where respect is paid to all trees and plants. With steady winds at this time of year, kite flying is a popular pastime here in Bali. Read about the Bali Kite Festival and how it represents more than meets the eye.
