September remains lovely and beautiful, with the return of a bit of rain—a welcome change that benefits nature and offers the refreshing experience of a tropical rain shower. The dry season has taken its toll on wildlife and dried-up rivers, while the influx of hundreds of thousands of tourists has strained resources. However, by the second and third weeks of September, the high season winds down, and the island begins to quieten again. Hotel and villa rental prices drop by up to 30%. Like May and June, September is one of the best months to visit Bali.
