Location

Lovina lies on the north coast, some 2.5 to 3 hours from the south over the mountains (a lovely route via Munduk). Thanks to the distance it's quiet and relatively cheap. The sea is calm and the sand is dark.

What to do

The classic is the sunrise dolphin trip — go with an operator that treats the animals respectfully. Beyond that: snorkelling on the house reef, the Banjar hot springs, the Buddhist monastery Brahma Vihara Arama and waterfalls like Gitgit and Aling-Aling nearby.

Who for

Peace seekers and families wanting to explore the north, or travellers passing through towards Munduk and West Bali. Less suitable for anyone expecting a beach party or turquoise water.
