January
The weather in Bali during the month of January will be filled with the occasional downpours. With the peak of the wet season (October through April), the humidity is at its highest. So be prepared to feel the sensation of your shirt hugging you as you leave the luxury of your air-conditioned room.
With an average rainfall of 300mls, January has to be Bali’s wettest month. However, this doesn’t always appear as a negative event. The heavy rain is often welcomed by residents of the island after months of Bali’s scorching heat. This calls for some serious indoor indulgence such as:
- Spending some time at the spa. At The Colony Hotel, we facilitate award-winning Jari Menari massages. Meaning ‘Dancing fingers’, Jari Menari describes the flow of their practitioner’s fingers during these effective massage sessions.
- Bring home a unique experience of being able to cook a classic traditional Balinese dish! The island you’re in is part of the world’s largest archipelago, Indonesia, and the original ‘spice island’. A great place to spend your rainy day taking in all the beautiful aromas and flavors of Bali is at Dean’s cooking class.
