Dreamsea Bali
It’s as if someone hacked into my secret home inspo Pinterest boards and created a hotel out of it!
Dreamsea Bali is nothing less than that, a dream, and probably the most Instagrammable hotel in Bali (not to mention my number one choice for where to stay in Uluwatu).
It’s not only a beachfront and pet-friendly hotel, it’s also a surf camp with its own semi-private beach.
It’s a little bit pricier than the rest, and I wouldn’t exactly class it as a budget hotel (although they do have some cheaper rooms), but regardless, I had to mention it because it’s such a gorgeous hotel, in fact, each room is designed to tell a different, unique story.
They have a location in Canggu and also in other countries such as Portugal, France, and Nicaragua amongst others.

How many days in Bali is enough?
I think the real question is “how many days in Bali is too much?” And the answer is there are never too many days in Bali.
The more, the better.
I think the bare minimum amount of days to spend in Bali is 7, but if you can go for longer, then definitely do it. You will not regret it!
In 7 days, you can relax, and see a few different sites around Bali before it’s time to go home. If all you have time for is one week, then go for it! It’s worth it!

In saying that, if you can stretch your 7 days into 2 weeks, it’s even better, as you’ll have more time to relax, go to the different parts of Bali and even visit some of the islands surrounding Bali!
Related: How Many Days In Bali Is Enough?
I personally went for 1 month and it still wasn’t enough! There’s just way too much to see and do in Bali to cut the trip short.
What is the best month to go to Bali?
So the good news is that Bali doesn’t have all 4 seasons. It’s either wet or dry season.
Wet Season: October-April
Dry Season: May-September
I’ve been in July, and the weather was perfect. It didn’t rain and it was sunny every single day.
I’ve always been during January for 10 days, and out of those 10 days, it was only sunny for one of them. However, it doesn’t rain all day during the wet season.
If it rains, it lasts all of 10 minutes. The only thing about traveling to Bali during the wet season is that the sky is cloudy and overcast for the majority of the time.
You can still get a killer tan though! They weren’t lying when they said those UV rays are strong.
What are the top things to do in Bali?
Bali is FULL of amazing things to do.
The list just never ends. Like we mentioned above... we stayed in Bali for 1 month and it still wasn’t enough time to experience all of Bali’s beauty.
Some of our favorite things to do in Bali include:
- Tukad Cepung Waterfall
- Tegalalang Rice Terraces
- Visit the Gili Islands
- Visit the Nusa Islands
- Bali beach clubs
- Uluwatu Beach
