Amazing Things to Do in Amed When It Rains

You’re in Amed, just out of your bikini and ready for a seaside day and then it starts raining. What now?

The truth is, rain in Amed isn’t that common unless you’re visiting during the wet season. Even then, it’s usually over before you’ve finished a good meal. I tend to treat myself to something tasty, and by the time I’ve paid the bill, the sunshine’s back.

But if the rain lingers? No need to sit around waiting. I’ve pulled together a full list of the best things to do in Amed when it rains, cosy spots, relaxing finds, and ways to explore the area beyond just snorkelling. Because let’s be honest, a bit of rain might be the nudge you need to discover a different side of Amed.

How often does it rain in Amed?

Well, the answer is that it depends on the time of the year. If you’re here during the rainy season, which typically runs from November to March, you’ll likely come across a few showers.

Even during the rainy season, showers are usually short and the sun often comes out soon after, so they don’t tend to get in the way of your plans for too long.

Below, I have listed the best places to stay in Amed during rainy days. These places have loads of amenities on site, so you get everything you possibly need within the property!

Things To Do In Amed When It Pours Outside!

#1 Get a Manicure and Pedicure

First things first, let’s get a TLC (treat, love and colour!). I don’t know about you, but my nails are normally my last thought here in Bali, so when it rains, I run to a nail salon!

Island Girls Bali is a great place to get your nails done in Amed. This nail salon is also near trendy cafes where you can go straight after if it’s still raining!

#2 Enjoy a Delicious Meal By The Sea

Go to a relaxing cafe with a sea view to enjoy a nice meal while looking at the rain falling into the Ocean.

The Smiling Buddha is nice, relaxing and one of the best places to eat in Bali.

Don’t just take my word for it, even Elizabeth Gilbert, the writer of Eat Pray Love, has been here quite a few times and it’s one of her favourites! You can find her note by the till!

#3 Visit a Temple With The Rain!

Temples are very fascinating, even when it’s raining. So if you had a few temples on your wish list, book your driver because now it’s the time!

Tirta Gangga is a 30-minute drive from Amed and is the perfect place to visit on a rainy day. This place is pretty colourful and pictures would look amazing even without the sun!

👉 Reserve your driver on Klook! It’s the best platform for it! You can select how long you need the driver for and read past reviews from previous travellers.

#4 Relax with a Massage

Rainy days are the perfect excuse to indulge in a deep tissue massage. Amed is home to some of the best spas and wellness centres where you can melt away your worries and let skilled therapists work their magic.

You can book a massage through your resort or I would suggest heading to Amed Bali Spa. This place is right by the beach in central Amed.

They offer different treatments at a reasonable price and you can bounce back to the beach as soon as the rain stops!

#5 Join a Yoga Class

Blue Earth Village is a beautiful yoga studio by the coast of Amed. They have daily classes for all levels as well as a restaurant.

If you are not in the area, WhatsApp them beforehand to ask for the weekly schedule – their WA number is +62 821-4554-3699!

#6 Take a Cooking Class

Use the rainy day as an opportunity to learn the secrets of Balinese cuisine! Bali Asli restaurant offers cooking classes where you can delve into the world of spices, flavours, and traditional cooking techniques.

This is not the only place offering cooking classes, walking around Amed, I found that most restaurants or hotels would promote the same thing!

#7 Learn How to Make Offerings and Embrace Balinese Traditions

If you’re interested in learning how to make these beautiful offerings around Amed, many accommodations offer classes where you can learn this traditional art form.

During my last stay at this Airbnb, the apartment owner involved me in their daily traditions and prayers, including offering making (and eating way too much local food!!).
