I had the
pleasure today of travelling to the resort of Candidasa, still within the
spirit of travelling around the Island of Bali I feel the need to blog about
this experience and link it to the other blogs that explain this beautiful
Island and its beautiful Bali Private Villas..
Candidasa
is East of Bali, basically you take the Sanur Bypass, swing to the right as you
travel north of Sanur , passing the Pandawa Bali Private Villas, see the
article reference the Pandawas for the story of the Pandawa family as it makes
fascinating reading as the story is poignant even in today’s family lives. Continuing east eventually you will pass the
Bali Safari and Marine park your journey will take you along a good dual carriageway
which is one of the biggest roads in Bali.
The journey will take you over several bridges; two of which span a
ravine type gorge and have the steel framed bridges that you often see in backwaters
of American movies, practical nonetheless. On the road to Candidesa you, or at least
I was struck by the scenery that surrounded us, on the right hand side you have
the mountains of Agung, picturesque in all its glory, on the left side the
water’s edge of the coastal front together with its vibrant blue/green seas. The other point that struck me was the fewer
numbers of cars and motorbikes that existed in this part of Bali, all in all, a
very pleasant journey. However, I should
say that a great deal of sand extraction takes place in this part of Bali so
you are graced with a considerable number of lorries travelling to and from the
gravel pits that surround you.
However as
you venture further east you are treated to a wonderful view of the island
called Nusa Penida a very large hilly Island which sits a couple of miles from
the Bali main land. It is still part of the Bali enclave and therefore remains
a significant part of the Bali Archipelago, I am led to believe that there is
little there although it appears graced with a range of hills and appears
heavily forested, which was good to see, but no Bali Private Villas here.
As we travelled
over the hills that precede the area of Candidasa you notice just how rural
this part of Bali is. As you come down into the town itself you’re treated to a
spectacular sight of light Sandy beaches, breaking surf that form the white
tops making the turquoise sea look so fresh and so spectacular.
Candidasa
is a Mecca of beautiful landscaped low rise hotels and Bali Private Villas,
from what I could see they were as stunning as any Bali Private Villas that are on Bali. This whole area seemed quieter, fresher less cluttered;
there still seemed an abundance of good restaurants, spectacular scenery and wonderful
surf. Yet fewer cars, fewer people and
fewer shops, there are no malls.

As we only
went for the day we rolled up at the hotel Lotus Pond, which those of you who
know Bali, Lotus pond is a chain of restaurants. But the Lotus pond here in Candidasa of which
there are two; one is a restaurant and the other a small hotel which consists
of beautiful bungalows in a well landscaped garden area, as part of the garden
is an infinity pool perched over a sandy beach area.
You should
know, Bali whilst being Hindu, a claim to fame that forms the backbone of their
mortal coil, They also have unique planning procedures being that no building
can be built higher than a coconut tree, although one such structure managed to
pass through the restriction, that is the hotel called the Inna Grand Bali
Beach hotel which can be found in the Sanur area.
It is with
this mind that you’re able to see such a rural setting preserved as Candidasa
is so beautifully laid out as are the Bali Private Villas. A very attractive part of Bali and a great place to
spend a few days no doubt..
