As a seasoned hookah sommelier and long-time collaborator with Bali’s leading lounges, I’ve seen firsthand how flavor trends evolve with the seasons. With the dry season in full swing, Bali transforms into a playground of beach parties, sunset sessions, and open-air gatherings—perfect conditions for enjoying a hookah.
