And if you opened your windows by the sea in the morning and caught the freshness, you were lucky with the neighborhood and the wind.
Dry season, rainy season
It's like driving on a new road - smooth, pleasant, everything under control.
Changu, Seminyak, Uluwatu - the sea breeze works as a natural air purifier.
Nusa Dua, Sanur - it's like business class here: stable, comfortable, no surprises.
Ubud, Tegallalang - inside the island, the air can "hang out", especially if dry grass is burned.
Rainy season (November to March)
Rain is like a "refresh page" button: the dust, cinders and haze are washed away.
Ubud, Chandidasa, north Bali - everything gets clean like after a general cleaning.
Jimbaran, Denpasar - where the fields are burning, even rain doesn't always save the day.

Where it's easy to breathe all year round
- Nusa Dua is like a premium resort: clean and predictable.
- North Bali (Lovina) - minimum cars, maximum palm trees and breeze.
- Nusa Lembongan and Penida are islands where the air is like something out of a yoga commercial.
