North & West Bali

Bali's beautiful North and West coasts are two of the most rewarding areas of the island in which to travel.  Unspoiled and remote, they show the true Bali along with its stunning coastline, small fishing villages and friendly inhabitants.

Bali's West coast is also home to the picturesque temple complex of Tanah Lot.  The famous rock formation has been shaped by the tide over centuries and is also home to a famous pilgrimage temple. 

There are definitely fewer hotels and resorts along this stretch of coastline than in bustling South Bali.  Travellers here will be rewarded with breathtaking views, stunning volcanic sand beaches and true tranquility.

Bali's North coast is equally untouched and unspoiled.  Small fishing communities dot the coastline and small islands offshore make this a particularly picturesque part of Bali.  Islands such as Menjangan Island in this region are particularly renowned for snorkeling and diving and this area is also home to Bali Barat National Park, where you can stay in an atmospheric eco-retreat and snorkel right from the deserted beach.

As with the rest of Bali, the best time to visit is between April and November.
