Bali is a paradise island and there’s no doubt that it’s warm and wonderful all year round but June may be the best month of all to plan your holiday in Bali and this is why.
What Is The Weather Like In Bali In June?
It’s hot and sunny in Bali in June and the skies are mostly clear and blue. You will find the average temperature to be around 21-30 degrees Celsius (that’s 70 – 86 Fahrenheit) throughout the month.

What Are The Best Places To Visit In Bali In June?
There are some super places to visit in Bali at this time of year and they include:
-
FINNS Beach Club – the best beach club in the world. We’re not being immodest, it’s what our guests say about their experiences at FINNSand we think that’s because we have 3 infinity pools, 3 restaurants (with 7 kitchens) and 11 bars plus an amazing VIP package. Most of all, we think that because you can get into FINNS for free and there’s no minimum spend (as there is at other beach clubs), you can find out how awesome it is easily for yourself.
-
Ubud Art Market – if you want to get up into the mountains of central Bali and enjoy some even cooler weather, then why not stop at the Ubud Art Market? It’s one of the best markets on the island and has plenty of locally made handicrafts which make perfect souvenirs for the folks back home. If you learn how to haggle, you can easily land a bargain here.
-
Tanah Lot Temple – everyone should see, at least, one amazing temple during their time in Bali and Tanah Lot sits on a small island off the coast of Bali and it’s an amazing sight at any time of day. However, arrive at sunset and the sunny days will ensure that you get the most spectacular natural light show over the temple. Take a camera and you’re going to be impressed.
-
Sanur Beach – Sanur is one of the quietest parts of the island and the beach here is lovely and crowd-free. If you want to learn some water sports or just grab some rays, Sanur is a nice place to do it. You can also enjoy long strolls along the boardwalk.
What Are The Best Things To Do In Bali During June?
This time of year has plenty for you to do in Bali including:

Bali Arts Festival – this festival begins in the middle of June and runs all the way through to the middle of July.

-
Ubud Food Festival – this festival begins in June and runs into July too and each year has a theme that allows local restaurant owners and chefs to demonstrate their skills. In 2023, the theme was “soil” and there was a mighty celebration of the Earth. We can’t wait to see what 2024 will bring.
-
Hike Mount Batur – Mount Batur is cooler at this time of year and you’re more likely to reach the summit when it is free of clouds and rain. This ensures that you get the best view of the countryside from the top. (We’ve got a great list of the best hikes in Bali too).
-
Kecak Fire Dance – this dance is amazing any time of the year and the best place to enjoy it is at Uluwatu Temple, however, as with anything at this time of year – it’s an outdoor event and thus, minimizing the chances of rain during your visit has to be a good thing, right?
-
Learn How Batik Is Made – batik is the local fabric and UNESCO says that its production is one of the most culturally valuable things in Bali. It’s a good time of year to visit Batik production facilities because there’s no risk of rain forcing people to cover up the equipment, etc.
