One of the most famous and beautiful provinces of Indonesia is Bali. This small island province lies between Java and Lombock and is one of the most picturesque islands in the region with a thriving ecosystem and rich biodiversity. Over the years Bali has also become a top tourist destination, as it is home to splendid beaches & coastal features, lush forests, a unique culture, and a host of tourist and leisure attractions. A luxurious boutique hotel Bali has to offer is Alila Manggis, which features charming island accommodation in stylish rooms and suites and makes an ideal starting point for your excursions.
Bali’s smaller towns are suited for any type of traveller. For example, Kuta is for the partygoers, while Ubud is best for travellers in search of some culture. But if you are in the mood for a more laidback and relaxed vacation in seclusion, the town of Candi Dasa is where you should visit. Considered to be one of Bali’s most tranquil towns, Candi Dasa is a beautiful locale with much to explore.
While Candi Dasa does not boast of a thriving nightlife or the best beaches, it certainly has a few amazing attractions well worth exploring. One such attraction is the Pasir Putih beach, one of Bali’s hidden gems. With 500m of pristine white sandy beach, Pasir Putih is a must visit for those looking for an idyllic coastal getaway. The Lotus Lagoon is another popular scenic attraction, known for its breathtaking scenery and relaxing ambiance. To get a glimpse into Candi Dasa’s spirituality you could also explore the Pura Candi Dasa and the Goa Lawah temples, both of which are cultural landmarks of the town. Candi Dasa is also home to some of Bali’s top diving and snorkelling sites. The islands of White Sand Beach and Blue Lagoon are best for snorkelling, while the wreck of the USAT Liberty and the reefs at Biaha, Serayah and Amed are great for diving. You should also visit the Bali Aga Village; a traditional and isolated village which has rejected any outside influence for hundreds of years and denies access to outsiders after dark!
