Amed village
Fishing village located on the East Coast from Bali, Amed is much more preserved from mass tourism than the villages of the south coast of Bali. With significant infrastructure development in recent years, this village offers tourists comfortable and varied accommodation for relaxing and pleasant stays with its magnificent black sand beaches.
Choose Amed for its location
Amed stretches for about ten kilometers along the sea at North East Bali and is located a few km from the famous Agung volcano. It is a strategic point for visiting the interior of the Island of BALI, easily radiating all around to discover the North, the East and go a little to the South.
But, Amed it is above all the place where you will have to go to go more easily and quickly to the GILI Islands or Lombok (see my article: BALI GILI CROSSING).
Choose Amed for its tourist attractions
Indeed, fromAmed, you can easily radiate all around and schedule visits to be done in one day. The main must-see sites are:
- The rice fields of Sidemen,
- the Lempuyang temple,
- Tirta Gangga temple,
- the Unjung Water palace,
- Permandian Air Panas (Banjar) hot springs,
- Mount Batur,
- the Agung volcano,
- etc ...
Choose Amed for its beaches and snorkeling spots
The beaches all aroundAmed are known to be good diving and snorkeling spots and stretch over more than 10 km.
Even if all the beaches ofAmed are pleasant for snorkeling or diving, there are unmissable spots that I can not not quote:
- The Japanese wreck in Lipah Bay;
- Jemeluk (about 6km east of Culik);
- The Liberty wreck at Tulemben (about 30 minutes north of Amed).
Choose Amed for its atmosphere and calm
With its peaceful atmosphere, you can rest there in peace away from the crowds, noise and entertainment of other coastal cities in Bali ...
In addition, as there are many expats but also many French and Canadian tourists, many locals speak French in Amed. You will be amazed to hear "and hello, how are you?" "Or" Hello French people, do you need something? ". But always without aggressiveness and without commercial harassment!
