Embark on a half-day boat trip to Menjangan Island, a secluded paradise off the coast of West Bali National Park. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters and thriving coral reefs, this uninhabited island is perfect for snorkeling or diving. Swim alongside vibrant fish, giant sea turtles, and perhaps even manta rays or whale sharks. The serene beauty of the island and its underwater world make this a must-do marine adventure.

Home to some of Bali’s best dive spots, Pemuteran offers incredible underwater experiences for both beginner and advanced divers. Explore the rich marine life of West Bali National Park and dive into colorful coral reefs that make this area one of Bali’s hidden underwater treasures.

Just along the coast from the Biorock Project, you’ll also find Metamorfosa, another fantastic reef restoration project in neighboring Sumberkima Bay. Much like Biorock, one of the ways that Metamorfosa is helping protect the local coral reefs is with their “underwater art gallery”—a series of underwater sculptures that provide a strong base for baby corals to grow on.

Discover the spiritual heritage of Bali by visiting some of Pemuteran’s sacred temples. Pura Melanting, with its vibrant colors and intricate dragon carvings, is devoted to the goddess Dewi Melanting. Nearby, Pura Pulaki, known for its playful monkeys, offers breathtaking ocean views. Pura Pabean, perched on a hill, blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist influences, providing panoramic vistas over the sea.

Indulge in a delightful wine-tasting experience at a local winery. Sample a variety of exquisite wines made from Bali’s unique grapes, all while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. This experience provides a perfect opportunity to relax and appreciate the flavors of Bali in a serene setting.

For adventure seekers, the Batu Kursi trek offers a rewarding hike with panoramic views of Pemuteran Bay. Starting from Pemuteran Temple, this short trek leads to a hilltop temple with stunning vistas of Bali’s northwest coastline. For a longer trek, explore the Sumberkima Ridge Walk and enjoy breathtaking landscapes while learning about local culture from expert guides.

After a day of adventure, unwind at Mimpi Hot Springs. Known for its healing properties and set against a backdrop of mangroves, this seafront natural spring is perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation. Not far from the Buddhist temple Brahma Vihara, you’ll also find the Banjar Hot Spring, an ancient spring created by the Japanese hundreds of years ago. Carved stone dragons pour water into the pools, set amidst a beautiful flowered garden. Here, you can soak in three baths filled with 38°C sulphur water. Traditional belief holds that this hot spring can cure illness, eliminate stress, and leave you feeling completely relaxed. Whether you’re looking to decompress or rejuvenate, these hot springs are sure to help you on your path to renewal.

West Bali National Park, Bali’s only national park, offers diverse ecosystems from mangrove swamps to pristine beaches. Explore the park through birdwatching, animal safaris, or trekking, and discover rare species such as the Bali Starling and wild boars.

The park is incredibly varied when it comes to habitat with rainforest, dry savanna, dense mangrove forests, acacia scrub, lowland forest and more montane forests right in the heart of the park. There are offshore coral reefs which are also a big draw to the area.

The dominant visual feature of this part of Bali are the extinct volcanoes that are in the East of the park and which can be seen from almost any part of the park.

Spend a day at Pasir Putih Beach Club at Menjangan Dynasty Resort, a serene coastal haven perfect for lounging or swimming in the turquoise waters of Banyuwedang Bay. This tranquil escape is set against the beautiful nature reserve of North West Bali National Park.

For an adventurous day trip, hike to the famous Mount Ijen in East Java to witness the stunning “Blue Flame” at night and the breathtaking sunrise over its turquoise crater lake. This volcano trek offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience of Indonesia’s unique landscapes.

Experience a magical sunset boat trip along Pemuteran Bay. Sail along the coastline as the sky transforms into vibrant hues of orange and pink. For a truly special moment, the boat will stop at a sandbank, offering a peaceful setting to capture beautiful photos of the surrounding mountains and Java’s distant volcanoes.

As a partner of Taman Sari Resort & Spa, located just a 5-minute walk from the villa, Kubu Elena guests can enjoy exclusive access to this serene retreat. Relax on a beach lounger overlooking the ocean while sipping on a fresh coconut, snorkel at the nearby Biorock reef, or unwind during Happy Hour with music and drinks at the Bamboo Bar. This partnership allows you to enhance your stay with added luxury and convenience.
