Lovina

From World travel guide

Lovina Beach is a narrow strech of black volcano sand on the north shore of Bali. Virtually empty most of the year, Lovina, like most of Bali, fills up with wintering Austrailians in August. The rest of the year it is a nice break from the bustle of Kuta.

Your guesthouse can (and will offer repeatedly to) arrange day tours to the neaby sights including waterfalls, hot springs, and temples.

Do

• Expect to be offered dolphin sighting trips' every other minute. These trips leave each morning and have very mixed reviews as the boats tend to outnumber the dolphins, but it can still be an enjoyable ride.

• Snorkeling and scuba diving trips leave from Kalibukbuk for Deer Island and other north shore dive spots. There are several dive operators based out of Lovina that operate daily dive trips to Menjanan Island, Tulamben and Amed, as well as night dives from the local shore.

Spice Divers are based out of Lovina and offer day trips to all of the dive spots on the northern shore. Guides are available in a variety of languages and multi-day discounts are available.

• Agung's Spa offers body scrubs, facials, massage, etc. It is also the nicest spa facility in Lovina, though by Balinese standards it is much smaller and basic than what you would find elsewhere on the island. Nevertheless, the service is excellent and the prices, being much less than the opulent spas in the south, are an excellent value and well worth it.
