Sanur Bali, Indonesia Travel Guide
For the dry season (April - October), mostly light clothing. Evenings are a bit cooler, so a light long-sleeved shirt, thin cardigan, or Shawl works. For the wet season (November - March), pack a Lightweight rain jacket or a Compact umbrella.
At temples, men and women must cover shoulders and knees. This means a shirt that covers shoulders and long pants or a skirt below the knee. Sarongs and sashes are often for rent at temple entrances.
Comfortable sandals, flip-flops, or open-toed shoes are good for town and beach walks. Easy to remove for temples/homes.
Pack Comfortable walking shoes or trainers for longer strolls, market visits, or non-beach areas. They give more support.
Water shoes or Reef shoes are suggested for rocky beaches, coral, or water sports to protect your feet.
A well-organized set of documents makes for an easy trip. Keep both paper and digital copies of your important papers.
Indonesia uses a 230V system, 50Hz. Plug types are C (two round pins) and F (two round pins with two grounding clips). A Universal travel adapter for Type C/F sockets is needed.
