Amed Hotels

Amed Beach, or Pantai Amed as the locals know it, is one of the most beautiful seascapes on the island of Bali and is located in the far northeast of the island. On the north coast of the Island, Amed is one of the few places on the island where you can enjoy the beach views and the true Balinese culture where life remains very much traditional and just inland to the south you will see the huge and powerful mountains and volcanoes of the north of Bali. Amed offers a small selection exclusive villa accommodation of a high level, mid range and budget accommodation creating a quiet scene of serine and tranquil scene enjoyed by a few. Amed Beach is located around a 3 to 4 hour drive from the Airport and although this is further than the southern resort areas, those who make this beautifully scenic trip will be rewarded by outstanding natural beauty away from the busy holiday areas. At Amed beach you can wind down and enjoy the flat calm waters which are perfect for swimming as well as snorkelling where you will see an amazing assortment of different marine life.

The incredible diving and snorkelling around Amed Beach as well as the rest of the northern areas of Bali have opened these lesser visited beaches up to a low level of tourism and revealed the beauty above the waters as well as below. With a combination of fishing beaches, local temples and markets and beautiful local villages, you can really experience the more traditional Balinese lifestyle while still enjoying the small yet adequate selection of top restaurants, bars and other facilities. Activities available in the Amed are include the incredible diving and snorkelling for all levels, fishing trips out in the bay as well as glass bottomed boat trips over the reefs. You will also be able to enjoy beach games as well as the trips to the local areas of interest around the area and also, perhaps the popular activity of relaxing by pools or on the beach with a cocktail and receiving massages and other refreshments.

Reaching Amed Beach is very easy, if you are staying at one of the hotels in the area the chances are transfer will be included in the price or offered to you when booking a room. It is certainly worth chartering a driver for those who are heading for a day trip as it is safer to be with a local who is used to the driving style and the roads on the island. This is a cheap affair and is also minimum stress. There is the cheaper option of using one of the shuttle mini buses that head up the east coast stopping only the main locations on the way taking a little longer to reach Amed. Amed Beach is beautiful and is certainly an incredible way to take time out from the south of the island and find you own piece of cultural paradise.
