What to do around Amed ?

You spend your holiday on one of the most beautiful islands in the world. We are also here to assist you with everything that is not diving related.

You should take your time to explore the wonderful countryside and culture of Bali.
We will assist you and have several fantastic tours and options for you to learn more about this amazing island.

AMED

Amed region is 7 fishing villages and compared to the rest of Bali, these villages keep a great atmosphere where the people live in harmony with nature.

Far from everything but close to nature, Amed is a little paradise where you can recharge yourself.

This picture shows a sunset from one of the many sunrise/sunset viewpoints around Amed. Go and share some time with locals and other tourists and enjoy a sunset drink.

RICE FIELDS

All around Bali you will find stunning views of Rice fields because rice is the main food for locals. We recommend you to hire a scooter and to drive up the hills with terraces of rice fields until the view point Lahangan Sweet and then to come back to Amed after a visit to the temple Pura Lempuyang.

It will be a pleasure for us to organize a tour and show you around, meet local farmers and try local products on your trip.

Indonesians use many different words to speak about rice, depending if the rice is cooked or not, how it has been cooked…

TEMPLES

Bali is full of temples, Besakih Temple also called Mother Temple is one of the most important for Balinese people. This is close to Amed and if you wish to visit it we are happy to organize a tour for you.

Also just located on the mountains behind Amed is Pura Lempuyang. Its one of the 7 holiest Temples of Bali. The complex consists of 7 different temples that are connected by a stair and the highest (and most holiest) rests on the top at around 900m above sea level, in the clouds offering spectacular views.

Close to Amlapura just 25 minutes from Amed you can find the famous Waterpalace of Tirta Ganga. A beautiful place to relax, have a swimm in the cool water and submerge in Balinese culture.

LOCAL LIVING

Some villages in Bali still remain almost untouched, they are called Aga Village, where the people are living in communities and everything is done in the village. They sell handcrafts to the tourists and the benefits are shared between the people living there.

Tenangan which is close to Mangis, about one hour drive, is a must see in Bali.

But also around Amed, in the hills behind the tourism area, people are still living a simple life. You can visit Tuba village where our owners grew up and where  many of the family is still living. You might join a gamelan practice (traditional balinese orchestra). The Instruments are sponsored by our owners family and the teaching is free for the kids of the village. We do this to preserve the thousands of years old traditions of bali and to transfer the knowledge to the next generation.
