Amed

🐚 Amed: the quiet shore of eastern Bali

📍 Location

• Located on the northeast coast of Bali, at about 2.5 hours drive from Denpasar Airport.
• Amed is not a single village, but a succession of coastal hamlets (Jemeluk, Lipah, Bunutan, etc.) stretched along a winding road bordered by the sea and hills.

🌋 Landscape and atmosphere

• The setting is spectacular : black volcanic sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and in the background, the majestic Mount Agung, often shrouded in mist.
• The atmosphere is peaceful, authentic and relaxed, far from the hustle and bustle of Kuta or Seminyak.
• Sunsets over Jemeluk Bay are breathtaking, with golden reflections on the sea and the volcano in silhouette.

🐠 Diving and snorkeling

• Amed is a paradise for lovers of the seabed :

• Snorkeling accessible directly from the beach, with colorful coral reefs and abundant wildlife.
• Nearby, thewreck of the USS Liberty Tulamben is one of the most famous diving spots in Asia.
• Local dive centers offer baptisms, training and excursions in a friendly atmosphere.

🎣 Local culture and daily life

• Amed is above all a fishing village : we can still see the jukungs (traditional boats) lined up on the shore.
• The inhabitants live from the fishing, artisanal salt, and welcoming travelers.
• The atmosphere is simple and warm, with family warungs, modest accommodations and genuine smiles.

🛵 Exploration and surroundings

• Rent a scooter is the best way to discover the surroundings :

• Tirta Gangga, aquatic palace with sacred pools.
• Pura Lempuyang, famous for its “Heaven’s Gate” with a view of Mount Agung.
• Mountain villages, rice terraces and scenic roads.

🧘‍♂️ Well-being and rejuvenation

• Amed also attracts travelers looking for calm and reconnection :

• Yoga classes, traditional massages, and spiritual retreats.
• Far from mass tourism, it is an ideal place for write, meditate or simply breathe.

✨ Why Amed is unique

It's a Bali more raw, more real, where nature and culture coexist without artifice. Amed does not seek to seduce with luxury, but with its sincerity, his wild beauty, and his slow pace.
