Candidasa sits on Bali’s eastern coast facing the Lombok Strait. The atmosphere is considerably calmer than the island’s busiest southern resorts and provides useful access to the cultural landscapes of East Bali.
Experiencing the region
Water palaces, temples and traditional villages can be combined with snorkelling, diving and coastal excursions, creating a balance between culture and the sea.
Planning your stay
Candidasa suits travellers returning to Bali or those deliberately avoiding the busier south. It also pairs well with Ubud for an itinerary focused on culture, landscape and slower coastal time.
