Bali has been recently awarded as among the best and most loved beaches in the world. This has strengthened Bali’s strong attractiveness to the tourists. However, what people know is that it is overly crowded and all of its beautiful spots are already filled with people. But actually, Bali still has its share of not so famous places that are still deserving of one’s visit. These are
Bali’s hidden spots, the rare Bali destinations.
Green BowlThe Green Bowl can be experienced in the Bukit Peninsula. It is called by three different English names namely The Green Bowl, Beach Bali Cliff, and Hidden Beach. These names have been given to the beach for certain specific reasons.
Karma KandaraKarma Kandara can be visited next to the Green Bowl. This may be done by pointing one’s vehicle towards Jalan Raya Uluwatu. When one reaches the intersection, a left turn has to be made until upon arriving at a little corner. From Ungasan Village which is about 500 meters from the intersection, one is to take a left turn and take that road. One has to take note of signposts that say Karma Kandara and Di Mare. Di Mare is the Italian restaurant’s name in Hotel Karma Kandara. Nammos Beach CLub, on the other hand, is the restaurant/bar on the edge of Karma Kandara. The road that turns to the right leads to the Hotel Karma Kandara. The entrance to this hotel and the restaurant in the Mare are different and are far apart.
Nyang NyangThe Nyang Nyang Beach is located on the south of Bali, not far from Jalan Raya Uluwatu. Unlike the Karma Kandara and the Green Bowl whose white sand beaches are not visible from the top of the cliff, the white sand of Nyang Nyang can be clearly seen from the top of the cliff. Furthermore, the cliffs here are also much higher than those of the other two. The stairs are higher which makes the trekking more exhausting.
Limestone rocky dirt road is what will lead the guests to the beach. That is why the advice for tourists is to visit this rare Bali vacation spot during the dry season and to bring a tall vehicle.
Tulamben Wreck Divers ResortAmong the most interesting things that people can remember about Tulamben Wreck Divers Resort is its warm staff. Though they don’t speak very good English, they are friendly, hospitable, warm, and professional.
While
staying in Bali, going to the beach is just stepping from the lush green lawn. The beautiful calm sea is the view from the bedrooms. There is also an outside lounge, splash pool, large garden, and a wooden deck at the end of the garden.
As the name suggests, it provides the best dives at the wreck, the fall off, the coral garden, plus the other macro dive sites. The night dive is also a spectacular experience. It is a totally new thing especially that the usual dive times are the daytime.
Villa AsadaVilla Asada is located ten minutes away from the seaside village of Candidasa. This is a beautiful yet undeveloped area that is away from the hustle and bustle of the mainstream tourism.
Villa Asada has a living and dining room which measures 16.5 in length and 5.7 meters wide. Its acid marble floor opposes its cream décor and soaring roof.
A coffee table and a sofa adorn the living room while a table for ten rests in the dining room. A small chess table is also strategically placed to allow guests to play some game. Gentle breezes and the ceiling fans provide coolness to the place.
Its well- equipped kitchen is located at one end of the dining and living room. Besides its walk-in pantry, it also has a black polished granite central island.
The bedrooms and bathrooms of
Bali Villa Asada include two air conditioned master suites which are located one above the other. Each of these is provided a cozy sitting room with a desk and armchairs. It also has a large balcony and terrace. Its walk in closet and built-in dressing table give that feeling of prestige and royalty.
In the main building’s pool level are two guest bedrooms. These rooms have sliding glass doors that open onto the pool while its separate door serves as access to the family room.
One bedroom has twin beds and the other has a king-size bed.
Villa Asada also has a family room that is decorated with water hyacinth sofas. It also has a swimming pool where one can dip in to get that cooling and calming effect of water.
Bali is indeed a place that is filled with hidden spots. These rare Bali destinations also deserve a visit. These are only waiting for more people to see and discover.
