Category : Adventure | Posted On Aug 03, 2017

If you’re ever in Bali come August, you might end up thinking it’s a bit of a madhouse (especially if you’re in Seminyak). Why so? Because it’s also party season, which means people from all over fly into ~~town~~ the island. We thought who better to ask about where to pop our Bali party cherry than Christian Rijanto, one of the founders of the Ismaya Group in Indonesia which collaborates with Bali’s leading club, Potato Head, on some serious August events (i.e. Ellie Goulding is coming this year).

Why Bali? Why August?

CR: You can’t compare Bali with Phuket or with Samui when it comes to nightlife – Bali is just years ahead. The most popular area is of course, Seminyak, which is home to a number of top restaurants and bars that attracts a cool, international crowd. In August, you have winter in Australia and summer holidays in Europe and the States. On top of that, it’s national day holidays for Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, so it seems like the whole world is on holiday and in town!

The weather is perfect too because it’s dry season in Bali but with a cool breeze. Put those facts together and it’s the perfect time to party.
