Bali or Maldives - compare the conditions for a warm vacation in November-December

The hardest part of a winter vacation is choosing where to go. And the choice is really difficult. You can go to conquer the mountains, or you can fly to warm your bones. But it's not all that simple. You still need to decide on a direction. For those who are still thinking: paradise islands or exotic Asia, we have prepared comprehensive information about each location.

Bali

An island in Indonesia. It is dominated by an equatorial monsoon climate with two seasons: dry - from June to October and wet - from November to March. The average temperature in December reaches 29°C.

• Nusa Dua

The most popular resort. Its coastline is characterized by a gentle entrance to the water and white sand. By the way, it takes only 30 minutes to get from here to the airport. In early winter, the weather is rainy.

There are 4 and 5 star hotels here. Their territories are equipped with sports centers, swimming pools, SPA salons, and golf courses. Here you can go surfing, flyboarding and scuba diving.

We recommend visiting the Puja Mandala Complex. Here 5 religions coexist in one place: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism and Hinduism. Here you can visit mosques, churches and temples.

A double deluxe room for two people will cost about $323 (for 5 nights).

• Ubud

Located in the central part of the archipelago. The location is famous for its jungle, cliffs, rice fields and mountain rivers.

Art lovers often come here. Be sure to visit the Senivati Gallery, which aims to support local female artists and help them with their studies. Also go to the Palace of Painting and the house of Lampad, a famous local sculptor.

The most popular beach is Lovina Beach. It boasts black sand and few people.

Also, be sure to visit the Monkey Forest. Here you can watch playful monkeys.

A superior double room for 5 days will cost approximately $153. A standard villa will cost $306.

• Jimbaran

A real mecca for gourmets. Despite the absence of historical monuments, the paradise attracts thousands of tourists every year. Most of them come here to enjoy delicious food and relax on the beach.

Evenings here are especially romantic: numerous coastal restaurants invite guests to have a delicious dinner in the open air. To be sure to get a table, arrive a little early. Approximately around 17:00. A room for two will cost about $136, a suite - $276.

Maldives

The resort is located in the northern part of the Indian Ocean. It is dominated by coral islands - flooded peaks of ancient volcanoes. The climate is equatorial monsoon, similar to Bali.

The rainy season lasts from April to October. The dry season begins in December and lasts until March. The average temperature in late autumn and early winter ranges from 27°C to 28°C.

If you want to immerse yourself in the traditional atmosphere of the region, choose Kuda Hura. Here you can stay in a hotel in the style of a Maldivian village. Surfers are advised to choose Kanduma, and those who appreciate luxury - Wabbinfara. For tourists who prefer to relax closer to civilization, we recommend going to Male.

• Fulhadhoo

This is the best tropical beach in the country with white sand, a gentle entrance to the water, lagoons, and palm trees. You can also meet the locals here and talk to them.

A double room for 5 nights will cost about $767, a room with a sea view - $1,052.

• Digura.

Perfect for those traveling with children. There are practically no strong winds and high waves. And the water is the color of aquamarine. The area is characterized by a reef where you can observe marine life. And whale sharks live here all year round.

An apartment with a terrace will cost about $670 for 5 days.

By the way, beach vacations in the Maldives have certain restrictions:

• Alcohol is best consumed on private resort islands. It is forbidden to bring it with you.
• You can't swim in the nude or topless.
• Fishing is not allowed near the islands. That's why hotels organize fishing trips.

If you want to combine a trip with interesting sights and a beach vacation, go to Bali. And for those who want to sunbathe and dive into the depths of the ocean, we recommend booking tickets to the Maldives. Also, keep your budget in mind. Accommodation on an island in Indonesia is much cheaper than in an exotic Asian country.
