Amed
/ Tulamben:
Bali's
northeast coastal road is one of the few stretches on Bali where
village life is largely unaffected by tourism. Breathtaking
slopes of tiered ricefields alternate with massive black rivers
of volcanic rubble, the ravages of Agung Mount's 1963 eruption.
There is a coral outcropping about 100 meters away to the east.
There are some good diving sites in this area. A sunken American
Liberty ship, which was torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942 and
later abandoned, can also be dived on; its about one and half
kilometers away to the east and does not take much strength.
Amed is a solitary village on a beautiful bay northeast of
Tirtagangga. It is inhabited only by fishermen and seasalt
processors. Amed sea is known as one of the best beaches for
diving and snorkeling in Bali. Its coast is very rich and
beautiful.
Bedugul:
When
the heat and humidity finally get to you, it's time to get away
to Bedugul, Bali's highland retreat, tucked into the crater of
an extinct volcano, 1400 metres above sea level. The three lakes
of the area provide the water for the fields, rivers and springs
on the plains below. Lush pine forests make for clean air. The
area is renowned for its fruit and vegetables.

resorts - all with ample grounds, gardens, recreational choices
and dining facilities. A challenging 18-holes golf course and
quiet stretches of beach are also on your doorstep at Nusa Dua.

of Benoa shares the same stretch of beach of Nusa Dua,
however you will find that prices of the hotels, restaurants,
bars and shops are a little less expensive than in the five star
