There’s no bad time to visit Indonesia, with its year-long summer days and warm rainy days. The islands have two seasons, which span from April to October (dry season) and November to March (wet season). The islands experience tropical weather with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 32°C throughout. The best time to visit Indonesia would be in the dry season, as the beaches will be available for sunbathing and day time exploring will not be interrupted by the rain. Resorts and holiday accommodation are packed throughout this time though, so it would be best book far in advance, or consider visiting during the wet season.
