These rural beaches are famous for its dark colored sand which is of volcanic origin. The lagune-like sea is protected by reefs and shallow, great for swimming and snorkelling.




JUNGLE TREKKING

In the Sawan area, at a distance of about 40 minutes by car from Royal Residence Rangdu, you will find the still unspoilt jungles and waterfalls of Lemukih. No roads lead to these waterfalls, they can only be reached via tracks through rice fields, plantations and jungle.





MENJANGAN ISLAND

Just off the northwest coast of Bali lies the small island of Menjangan. A true paradise for nature lovers. Snorkel through hectares of coral reef, indulge in diving, or simply watch deer taking a bath on the secluded, natural beaches of Menjangan island.

THE ROOF OF BALI

At an average height of 1500 meter lie the mountain villages of Kintamani, Batur and Penelokan, on the highest ridge of the caldera of the Batur volcano. In the caldera itself, at the shores of Lake Batur, are the traditional villages of Trunyan, Toyabungka and Kedisan.






SINGARAJA

The old market town and former colonial capital of Bali, Singaraja, lies direct west of Lovina Beach. With its Dutch colonial style buildings, many impressive statues, a large morning market, an ikat factory, the lontar library 'Gedung Kirtya' and the Royal Palace of Buleleng certainly worth a visit.
