Description

Bali is Indonesia's most visited island — known for temples, rice terraces, surf beaches, and yoga retreats. As part of the Indonesian archipelago, health risks include dengue fever (widespread), rabies (endemic on Bali), and food/water-borne infections. No vaccinations are legally required for direct entry from the UK, but several are strongly recommended.

These vaccines are strongly recommended for travel to Bali / Indonesia. Our pharmacist will advise which are most relevant to your specific itinerary.

Travel Health Tips for Bali / Indonesia

Practical tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout your trip.

Travel tip 1

  1. Rabies is endemic on Bali — monkeys at temples (Ubud Monkey Forest especially) bite frequently. Pre-exposure vaccination is strongly recommended.

Travel tip 2

  1. Dengue is the main mosquito-borne risk. Use DEET repellent during the day and stay in accommodation with screens or air conditioning.

Travel tip 3

  1. Drink only bottled water. Avoid ice from street vendors — established restaurants generally use purified ice.

Travel tip 4

  1. Bali belly is common — carry oral rehydration salts and consider Dukoral (cholera/ETEC vaccine) if you're a nervous traveller.

Travel tip 5

  1. Sun protection is essential — equatorial UV is intense even on overcast days.

Travel tip 6

  1. If island-hopping to Lombok, Flores, or other islands, discuss malaria risk with our pharmacist before departure.

When to Get Vaccinated

Ideally 4–6 weeks before departure for Rabies (3-dose course). Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and DTP can be given same-day. No Yellow Fever or malaria prophylaxis needed for Bali specifically.

Best Time to Visit

April to October (dry season). July and August are peak tourist season. November to March is wet season — rain is usually short afternoon showers. Dengue risk is higher during the wet season.
