With pristine white sandy beaches and tall majestic mountains the island of Bali in Indonesia is a traveller’s paradise. Treks down hidden trails of volcanic mountains, high paced night life and relaxing beaches, Bali offers the best of both worlds.
Nusa Dua and Lovina are two of Bali’s most popular beaches. The golden sands of Nusa Dua are inviting, but the contrasting black shores of Lovina are equally arresting. What’s common in both these beaches though is a chance to watch one of the friendliest mammals on earth. For those of you who are still wondering, it’s dolphins.
Watching these playful creatures ride the waves, performing acrobatic feats is something, and promises to thrill both adults and children alike. Plus if some of these dolphins are feeling a little brave, then it’s your lucky day because they come close enough for you to touch, entertaining the delighted onlookers.
While motor boats both private and belonging to hotels carry tourists for dolphin watching from morning till afternoon in Nusa Dua, dolphin watching in Lovina begins in the early hours of dawn as dolphins show up at this spot during their feeding time in the mornings.
Other than dolphin watching, the beaches also offer snorkeling, surfing, diving and glass-bottom boat rides. The world renowned baths and massages of Bali are a perfect way to unwind. Available in the numerous spas in both Nusa Dua and Lovina, the soothing experience is the perfect way to calm body, mind and soul. For those of you who want to do some sightseeing, the highlands of Muduk, Pamuteran beaches and Sigaraja city are easily accessible from Lovina.
Be it extravagance or minimalistic you are looking for, finding the perfect accommodation from the many Bali Resorts is easy. Located on the ‘Impossible beach’ a mere 40 minutes away the Bali international airport, the Anantara Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa is in close proximity to both Nusa Dua and Lovina. A relative newcomer in Uluwatu Hotels, the resort has already made a name for its unparalleled hospitality and architecture that tastefully blends in with nature, offering a truly memorable holiday experience.
