Lovina beach
the peaceful beach of Bali

Lovina beach is a peaceful beach, located about 12 km on the west side of Singaraja, North of Bali.

Because of the location, north of the island and the beach itself, not many people visited this part of Bali. It takes about three hours to drive from the Ngurah Rai airport to the north of Bali. Not a really a nice thought for the tourist to take that long hour in the car to see this beach. Many people rather staying on the south side of Bali, where many crowded are located.

Regardless the tranquility, the beach is still attractive place to visit. If you don’t care so much about partying and crowded, but love peaceful and silence area, this might be right place for you.

The beach is black sand beach, not white sandy beaches like Kuta or Sanur, but this place has a great places ready to explore, just like diving.

The underwater world here is incredible and ready to discover. There are plenty diving operator around here and this is also one of the favorite place to do some diving.

Or you can snorkeling and enjoy the lovely bright blue starfish on the reef not too far from the shore.

You can do dolphin watching tour. There are countless boat that ready to take you to the wild dolphins, but this action makes the dolphin very upset. Most of the time they will go away when the boat come closer.

Personally I wouldn’t take the boat, just enjoy from the beach the playing dolphin from the distance. Let them playing without any stress.

If you want to enjoy the company of the dolphin, playing together with them in the pool, I suggest to staying in the Melka Hotel Resort, the only place with dolphins in their pools.

You can do some activities with the dolphin in this hotel. They’re really friendly.

Lovina beach is pretty quiet, except in the weekend, there are more crowded, but still the place is expensive with less facilities. There are pubs and bars. And certainly they have great selection of restaurants, shops stalls and if you want to buy some souvenir, they have also lovely present beach.
