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

Better to Avoid

  • Heavy Jackets
  • Formal Attire
  • Expensive Jewelry
  • Passport & International Driving Licence
  • Suncream Protection
  • Rainponcho (can also buy in place)
  • Universal Electricity Adaptor
  • Small bag for daily excursions (not too big to fit in a scooter)
  • Re-usable Water Bottle
  • Face Mask (if roads’ pollution disturbs you)
  • Sunglasses
  • Beach Towel
  • Chargers
  • Photocamera / Phone / GoPro
  • Toiletries
  • Medicines (can be buy also in place, pharmacies have everything you need)
  • Mosquito Repellent

Conclusion 

All in all, packing for Bali is quite easy as you likely won’t need any special or unusual gear.

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!
