Which months suit both Hong Kong and Bali?
The two stops have opposite best seasons, so the months that suit one rarely suit the other.
Hong Kong and Bali weather by month group.| Months | Hong Kong | Bali |
|---|
| Nov to Feb | Driest months, averages of 16–22°C. | Wet season. |
| Mar to Apr | Warming up, rain building through April. | Wet season ends in March, dry season from April. |
| May to Sep | Hot and wettest, tropical cyclones most likely July to September. | Dry season. |
| Oct | Rain falls away, cyclones still possible until November. | Last month of the dry season. |
October and April are the compromise months, with neither end at its worst. In March 2027, Nyepi falls on Monday 8 March. Bali's airport closes for 24 hours and visitors stay inside their hotel. The Idul Fitri holiday period then runs from 9 to 15 March, so avoid landing or leaving that week. For Bali on its own, see our guide to Bali holidays from the UK.
How the route works: jungle first, beach last
Nandini Jungle sits in Buahan village, Payangan, in the hills outside central Ubud. There are no cafés or shops on the doorstep. For an evening in Ubud itself, ask us to add a driver when you request a quote.
The week at the coast comes last for a practical reason. Jimbaran is about 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai airport, so departure day has no long drive. The bay faces west, so sunsets are over the water, and seafood is grilled on the sand each evening. It is quieter than Seminyak. Nusa Dua is a purpose-built resort area, whereas Jimbaran is still a working fishing village with hotels along the bay.
Prefer Seminyak's beach clubs, or only have 10 nights? Look at our 10-night Hong Kong and Bali holiday with Seminyak. To skip the city altogether, there is an all-Bali Ubud, Legian and Jimbaran trip.
What do UK passport holders need for Hong Kong and Bali?
Hong Kong lets British citizens visit for up to 6 months without a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least one month after you leave Hong Kong.
Indonesia is stricter. You need a passport valid for 6 months from the day you arrive, with 2 blank pages, and proof of your return journey. The visa on arrival costs IDR 500,000 for 30 days, payable by cash or card, or you can buy an e-visa online at least a week ahead. Complete the free All Indonesia arrival form within 72 hours of arrival. Bali also charges a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per visitor, paid online or on arrival. Check FCDO advice before you travel.
How to tailor this Hong Kong and Bali multi-centre
The split is a starting point. You can add a fourth night in the hills, ask about other room types at any of the three hotels, or put the beach week before the jungle. For other combinations, browse other Asia multi-centre routes.
