Activities/Local Area
Brahma Arama Vihara Temple
Next door to the hotel is one of Indonesia’s largest Buddhist temples. Home to many visiting international students of the school of Vipassana Meditation, this serene and exotic temple is yours to freely visit and to stroll around, admiring the exquisite gardens and taking in the distant sea views and nearby tropical splendour. Sarongs must be warn by both male and female visitors. They may be hired at the entrance.
Air Panas
The nearby hot water springs are collected in a series of pools. These mineral enriched springs will envelop your body and soothe away the stresses and strains of your working life. Bubbling up from far beneath the ground these springs are said to hold curative powers that only Mother Nature can prescribe.
Air Suni
This is a tropical swimming hole of cool spring water. Drive through Singaraja following the coast, for approximate 30 minutes. Then you arrive at Air Suni, there is a small entrance charge for you to use this magnificent of crystal clear water.
Gitgit Falls
A short drive away from the hotel, via the city of Singaraja, flow the Gitgit Falls. You can take a guide or make your own way down a winding track to the falls. Standing under these wonderful falls you can feel the invigoration and wonder of nature as you are gently bathed with the cooling mists of water as the falls crash into the rock pool below.
Sekumpul Falls

Menjangan Island
Menjangan Island sits between the islands of Bali and Java. Approximately an hours drive from the hotel along the quiet and colourful north Bali Island road. Menjangan Island is set in the Bali Barat National Park, and is home to a number of Hindu Temples. Whilst the Island itself is nothing too special, the seas and corals that surround it are magnificent. If you think that the Australian Great Barrier Reef is special, just wait until you quietly glide over the corals and tropical fish which abound off this island.
Singaraja
During the Dutch occupation, Singaraja was Bali's main port. But now the traffic has moved south, leaving the area in peace. Culturally distinctive, Singaraja retains a colonial feel to its escape.
The local markets, just off the main street, are a must see when in Singaraja.
Diving
The north of Bali has some of the most advanced and spectacular dive sites in the world. Beginners and Advanced divers should contact the restaurant staff regarding Spice Dive for all your diving needs. Spice Dive is Padi accredited.

Serenity Walk
This is a walk, for as long or as short as you like, and which starts just a few minutes from the hotel. You will walk deep into a tropical rainforest along a path that winds around the valley over which the hotel looks. You meander through small rice paddies, beside rural Balinese houses and alongside traditional Balinese aquifers. This is a walk that will take you to your own bit of the Garden of Eden, and is best done late in the afternoon after a day of doing nothing and just before you venture to the inns and restaurants of Lovina.
Lovina Beach
Lovina Beach is the main tourist area of the north of Bali, with a stunning black volcanic beach, and wonderful restaurants and bars. So take the drink for your choice and sit on the beach beside the local fishing boats and watch the sun set behind the volcanos of Java.
