When to visit
The best time for a family holiday in Seminyak is during the dry season between May and August when the weather is warm, sunny, and settled. With its fine weather and array of attractions suitable for all ages, Seminyak is ideally suited for family breaks any time of year, even during the rainy season. However, for a balance of favourable weather and fewer crowds, families should consider visiting Seminyak in May, June, or September. As Bali's weather can vary depending on the region, it's worth bearing in mind that central areas like Ubud may have cooler temperatures than the coastal areas. As always, it's recommended to plan your trip around your children's school breaks to avoid disrupting their studies.
