Eight Degrees South

Eight Degrees South

Bali lies eight degrees south of the Equator and seems to float in the warm seas of the Indian Ocean. She is a lush, green, fertile testament to the combination of rich volcanic sols, consistent rainfall and a life-friendly climate with a year-round temperature which hovers around thirty degrees Celsius day and night.

The past decade or so has seen a dramatic rise in the number of tourists directly arriving to Bali and many seek a Bali villa for a more exclusive holiday experience. There are many Bali villas for rent and the choice depends on size of party, desired location and budget.

Being eight degrees south means that day length has very little variation throughout the year and the sun rises around six am and sets around six thirty pm. Dawn comes quickly, taking between fifteen minutes and half an hour to go from darkness to daylight and in the evening, the sky begins to darken around six fifteen and is black as night at six forty five. This is quite a phenomenon for those of us who live closer to the poles accustomed to our long summer twilit evenings and gloomy winter afternoons.

The Earth bulges slightly at the equator and on a clear, cloudless night, the view from a Bali villa can give the impression of being closer to the stars. This is obviously an insignificant amount compared with the vast distances to even the closest of heavenly bodies but the impression is quite marked. The Earth spins faster at the equator so one may also feel one’s progress through the heavens more keenly!

Many Bali villas for rent have swimming pools and the tropical climate makes them almost essential if one is not used to the constant high temperatures and almost one hundred percent humidity. One of the most satisfying parts of a Balinese vacation can be bobbing up and down at the edge of the pool, drinking a glass of cool beer or chilled wine. Being that Bali is much warmer than, all wines are best served chilled, not only the whites and rosés. This can be felt as a mistake by those of us from cooler latitudes but once you have tasted a chilled glass of Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon by or in your pool there is no going back!
