Destination comparison

Bali vs Ibiza

Ibiza is the clearer pick — 78 vs 65 on the Atlas Ranger Score, and it leads in 9 of 12 months. Bali never pulls ahead — it trails in every month. If you're choosing on timing alone, Ibiza is the safer bet; Bali makes sense mainly for its own strengths or its short strong window (best in June, 81).
