May or September — dry, low crowds, low price. Easter (April) is great value but crowded.

CNY, Easter, late summer, Christmas. Avoid by going May, September, or November.
Does Nyepi (Balinese New Year) affect plans?
Nyepi 2026 is 20 March. The whole island goes silent for 24h — shops, airport, hotel-external activities all close. Avoid or stay flexible.
Galungan / Kuningan cultural festival?
15-25 April 2026. Beautiful cultural ceremonies, but temples close. Great for cultural travelers, less for sightseeing.
HK school break vs public holidays — which matters more?
School break (mid-Jul to late-Aug) impacts flight prices most. Long weekends (CNY, Easter) impact accommodation most.
Last-minute vs advance booking price gap?
Summer / CNY: last-minute is 40-60% pricier than 90-day advance. Off-peak: last-minute can be 10-20% cheaper.
