Travel Smart During Golden Week
Golden Week is a special time to travel, and with a little preparation, your Bali journey can be seamless and stress-free. Here are some helpful insights for travelers coming from across Asia:
Book early: Golden Week is peak season, so flights and villas fill up quickly. Reserving in advance ensures you get your dream stay.
Visa & entry requirements: Many Asian countries benefit from visa-on-arrival in Bali. Double-check your passport validity (minimum 6 months) before flying.
Stay connected: Pick up a local SIM card or portable Wi-Fi at the airport so you can share your Golden Week memories instantly.
Currency & payments: While many places accept cards, smaller shops and local markets prefer cash in Indonesian Rupiah. ATMs are widely available.
Cultural respect: When visiting temples, dress modestly (a sarong is often provided) and follow local customs—it’s part of the experience.
Get around with ease: Apps like Grab or Gojek make transport easy, or arrange transfers directly with your villa host.
Travel light, live light: Bali’s tropical climate is warm year-round—pack light, breathable clothing, plus sunscreen and a hat for daytime exploring.
