An Australian family’s relaxing holiday in Bali turned disastrous after the villa they were staying in flooded with water.
TikToker Jamie Crops traveled to the popular tourist destination in October and stayed in a luxury villa in the seaside resort of Seminyak on Bali’s southern end.
However, after the region was hit by torrential rain and a severe storm, she and her traveling companions had to wade in water all over the villa.

Video shared by Bali Livin on Wednesday shows the entire interior of the villa completely submerged, with half a meter of murky water.
The exterior of the property was also affected by the flood as the villa’s luxurious pool was no longer visible.
The video was captioned, “Free Floating Breakfast They Said,” which referred to an original Balinese concept of presenting food in a waterproof rattan tray and floating it in a swimming pool.
The Bali tourists had to put all their belongings on the furniture scattered around the villa to air dry the soaked items.
The empty suitcases were filled with puddles of water as they were placed on tables and sofas to prevent further damage.
Social media users saw the funny side of the holiday horror, with some sarcastically wishing the tourists “happy holidays”.
“It’s that time of year when it rains almost every day what do we expect,” wrote one user.
“Floating bed, sofa and some of your clothes too,” joked another.
A third chimed: “Villa for rent. Comes with infinity pool and beyond.’
Bali’s rainy season lasts from November to March, with an average of at least 190mm of rain falling each month. However, the rainy season coincides with the off-peak travel season, which generally means fewer tourists and a more budget-friendly trip (pictured, Seminyak Beach, Bali).
The rainy season in Bali runs from November to March, however, many consider October to be part of the rainy season as almost half of the month experiences rainfall.
At least 190mm of rain falls each month from November to March, with rain falling on at least half of the days of the month. January is the main month of the rainy season with an average of 27 rainy days.
The rainy season also brings hot temperatures and coincides with the off-peak tourist season and generally sees less tourism, making for a more budget-friendly trip.
