Dry vs Wet
Light, breathable clothes work all year. Rain is what changes, so adjust your rain gear and shoes.
| Item | Dry season (May–September) | Wet season (October–April) |
|---|---|---|
| Rain | A sudden tropical shower can still occur | Heavier, more prolonged rainfall |
| What to add | A packable rain jacket or umbrella in a light, water-resistant fabric | Waterproof sandals or espadrilles instead of open-toed shoes |
Pack for the Climate
Warm, humid and occasionally wet: build your bag around breathable, quick-drying pieces.
Linen, organic cotton and silk let air circulate and wick moisture. Linen shirts and trousers or light dresses work from brunch to gallery visits.
Men and women must cover shoulders and knees at temples, usually with a sarong (kain) and a sash (selendang) at the waist.
Pack quick-drying swimwear, at least three sets, so each has time to dry between daily pool and beach sessions.
Include outfits for the beach, active outings and refined evening dining, from morning yoga to sunset at a beach club.
