Going to Bali and want to find lesser known spots to go? I’ve got you! (This is my second post in the series, check my first for an Ubud alternative!)

On the north coast of Bali you’ll find Lovina and Menjangan island, two spots I would definitely recommend taking a few days of your trip to visit.

Lovina (pics 1, 8 and 9) is a beach town on the north coast of Bali with very reasonably priced accommodation options and a much more chilled out vibe than down south. We stayed at Puri Bagus Lovina (9th video), I’ll link it in my stories. You get your own villa, right by the beach and with a pool and spa. The nightlife is less clubby than Canggu & Seminyak, but there’s still fun to be had - it’s not as sleepy as Kintamani (read about this place in my last post). 

Sunsets are gorgeous, vibes are chilled, and you can do some great adventures from here which is the reason I like to go. Waterfall hopping, canyoning, boat tripping, and to visit the stunning Menjangan island, which is my second recommendation for you!

A snorkelling trip to Menjangan has to be on any water babies Bali itinerary - we have done many snorkel trips over the years and this was one of my favourites.

These islands are home to wild deer who swim over to the islands every spring from west Bali national park. Menjangan can’t be compared with the Nusa and Gili islands, there’s no parties no crowds - they are a protected natural sanctuary so you come for day trips to see life above and below the water. Because they are so far from the airport and main towns in Bali, they’re super quiet, which makes them perfect for nature lovers who want to see real Bali.

Most Menjangan snorkelling tours will pick you up from Lovina for a day on the water. @bluecornerdive @menjanganwestbalitours are some companies that offer snorkelling tours! BUT if you don’t want to stay in Lovina, @sumberkimahill is a fancy little resort you could stay in which is close to the island 👌🏼 check it out!
