Is your date a good day to get married in Bali? See the season, sunset and golden hour in Uluwatu, and clashes with Nyepi, Galungan and holidays.
We check the Bali season, calculate the exact sunset and golden hour for Uluwatu, and flag Nyepi, Galungan & Kuningan, Idul Fitri and the festive season.
The best wedding dates in Bali fall in the dry season (April–October), with ceremonies starting 75–90 minutes before sunset – sunset in Uluwatu is between about 18:05 and 18:45 all year. Avoid Nyepi (8 March 2027), and check Galungan & Kuningan (13–23 January and 11–21 August 2027) and Idul Fitri (10–11 March 2027).

| January – February | 18:40 – 18:47 | 17:15 |
| March – April | 18:15 – 18:40 | 17:00 |
| May – July | 18:05 – 18:15 | 16:45 |

More about seasons and planning in the best time to get married in Bali.
Because Bali lies close to the equator, sunset in Uluwatu stays between roughly 18:05 and 18:45 all year: earliest around May–June, latest around January–February. The checker calculates the exact time for your date.
Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence, when the whole island and the airport close for 24 hours (8 March 2027). Also take note of Galungan and Kuningan (every 210 days, e.g. 13–23 January and 11–21 August 2027), Indonesian holidays such as Idul Fitri (10–11 March 2027) and the busy Christmas and New Year period.
We recommend starting the ceremony about 75–90 minutes before sunset. The heat has gone, the light is soft and you finish just in time for golden-hour photos and the sunset.
