Whether traveling to Bali in the monsoon season or in the height of the dry season, it is always recommended to have some rainy day activities tucked away on the bucket list. Being a tropical island, rain can fall over Bali at any time, and so it’s always best to be prepared.
Thankfully, since Bali observes rainy season for a huge portion of the year, there are many different rainy-day activities on offer for tourists. In fact, a rainy day activity doesn’t have to be a second-rate expense. Many of Bali’s best indoor activities are luxurious, relaxing, brimming with culture, and offer plenty of opportunities to create beautiful lifelong memories.
One of the best rainy day activities in Bali is, in fact, one of the top activities full stop…a trip to the spa. Come rain or shine, a visit to one of Bali’s world-class spas for a treatment…or two, is not to be missed in Bali.
Many spas located in Bali’s top tourism resorts, like Seminyak, Kuta, and Legian, offer walk-in appointments and extensive treatment menus. For those seeking a more refined experience at any of the island’s most esteemed spas and wellness centres, booking ahead is essential.
Must-visit spas in Seminyak include Bodyworks Spa and Prana Spa. Not only do both these spas offer full treatment menus, experiences, and attentive staff, but also an incredible interior decor. Both of these spas offer visually stunning interiors that provide a welcome contrast to the rain and storms outside.
It is true that all tourists to Bali should experience a traditional Balinese massage during their inaugural trip to the island. A Balinese massage incorporates deep tissue work, as well as gentle stretches, elements of acupressure, and reflexology.
A full body treatment leaves clients walking away feeling totally renewed and refreshed. For a totally indulgent day spa experience, a body scrub and flower bath is a must.
Those looking for a little retail therapy in Bali will be delighted to see the storm clouds coming. Bali’s malls are crying out to be explored when the rain rolls in, and it’s the perfect moment to explore these shopping centres without feeling like you’re missing out on beach time.
Bali’s newest mall, ICON, in Sanur, is an impressive lifestyle complex that is open 7 days a week.
Whether the forecast is sunshine or showers, it’s always a good idea to check out what events are being hosted at ICON Bali, the shopping mall regularly hosts seasonal and cultural events for the whole family.
Other top Bali malls ideal for a rainy day spending splurge include Beachwalk Kuta and Mal Galeria Bali.
If creativity is the order of the day, then Bali has so much to offer. One of the most popular and highly reviewed indoor activities in Bali right now is ceramic painting.
Whether in Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, or beyond, tourists are never too far from a ceramics studio these days, which is great!
In Ubud, Serayu Pottery is a fantastic option. Tourists have the choice to learn how to throw clay or paint their own pottery.
For those in town a little longer, it is possible to book a series of 1-to-1 sessions to help really learn the craft. In Canggu, Klaybar Bali is the island’s first ceramics painting bistro. As a women-owned business, Klaybar Bali is an inclusive and welcoming space for everyone to explore their creativity in new ways.
Rainy days in Bali can be a little tricky with young children if searching for solutions in the coastal resort areas, but Denpasar has so much to offer. The provincial capital is home to a great range of indoor play centres and even an indoor theme park.
Trans Studio Bali offers everything from indoor go-karting to an immersive rollercoaster experience and more. Trans Studio Bali is also home to iFly Bali, the island’s only indoor sky diving centre, which offers nothing but exhilarating experiences for the bravest of visitors.
