Lovina Beach
Lovina Beach is a laid back 12 km stretch of coast to the West of Singaraja in North Bali. It is a welcome break from the bustle of the South. These days the mix of tourists is mainly families and couples rather than the backpackers of yesteryear. It is comprised of several narrow stretches of black volcanic sand.
Kalibukbuk is the largest and most developed village but it is just two streets of hotels, bars, restaurants, and dive shops running down to the beach. There is a wide range of accommodation and restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes. There are two clubs and several bars, but the nightlife is generally low key and easy giong.
You can easily get to Lovina by bus from all parts of Bali, but it is a long ride from the East or South. Getting your own car with or without a driver ( I don’t recommend without!!) is a much easier way to get to the North. Bemo’s are the local public transport buses and they ply all the local routes. Again it is much easier to hire a driver and car for any longer journey. You can travel from Kuta in less than 3hrs and from the airport or Sanur in about 2.30hrs. You will travel through (Pura Ulun Danu) Bedugul and could go the pretty way through Munduk if you are not in a hurry. So you could stop to take in the temple, lakes and rice paddies on your trip and make a day of it.
Sightseeing trips are easy to organise either with drivers on the street or through your hotel. Some sugestions are:
Dolphin Trips – These trips leave early each morning and are great fun for the kids, despite the critiscism that the boats tend to outnumber the dolphins.
Air Banjar Hot Springs – Located west of Lovina, Air Banjar (or Panjar) is an enchanting hot springs with stone carved mouths gushing water among a lush garden setting.
Waterfall Munduk – Located in the Munduk Village, Banjar District, Buleleng regency. Munduk Village is situated at an altitude between 800-900 m above sea level so the air is very cool and very suitable for farming, especially coffee and clove.
Tour Itinerary included: Dolphin attraction in the morning, Banjar hot water spring, Buddha Monastery, Munduk waterfall and twin lakes view (buyan & tamblingan lake).
