Bali: What to Pack for your Trip

Think Summer!

Located just south of the equator line, Bali enjoys tropical hot weather all year round.

Also in the humid monsoon season (October-April), you can expect sun and scorching temperatures for most of the day, interrupted only by brief downpours.

The laid-back, informal, and non-judgemental atmosphere of the island makes it possible to go with just any style.

Hereafter we thought of leaving you a check-list of things you may want to pack for your next trip to Bali, divided into clothing and accessories.

 

As a rule of Thumb: aim to travel as light as possible!

  • Cap or Hat
  • Flip-Flops
  • Swimsuit
  • Light T-shirts or Shirts
  • Sleeveless Shirts
  • Shorts
  • Light dresses
  • 1 Pair of Long Trousers (just in case)
  • 1 Hoodie (just in case)
  • 1 Pair of Trainers (for excursions or treks, the rest of time you’ll likely use flip-flops)
  • Socks
  • Underwear

  • Heavy Jackets
  • Formal Attire
  • Expensive Jewelry
  • Passport & International Driving Licence

The hardest part is not to bring too much! I have already been there twice and cannot stress it enough: extra t-shirts, summer dresses, swimsuits, snorkeling gear and much more you’ll find it all on the island, cheap enough to avoid bringing your own from home, don’t overpack!
