South-East Bali 9 days

Ready for some exploring!?

This road trip will lead you to the south- east Bali. You will visit the province of Karanasam. This province is know for it diversity and is still far from mass tourism.

The trip will start your self-drive from you hotel in the south of Bali. You will meet a representative of My Bali Road Trip and he will handover the car and all info you need to start your trip.

From you hotel you will drive you first stop Ubud. Ubud is a well know artist town and has a lot of interesting place to visit. Take for example the bustling market opposite the royal palace. Ubud can be busy but is still a nice place for some shopping and fine dining. Temples a Goa Gaya and Tirta Empul are very interesting to visit to give you some inside of the rich Balinese culture.
Next stop on your self-drive will be Sideman. Sideman you just need to explore and named the hidden gem of Bali! This mountain village is still “back in time” and the way Bali used to be. Fresh air, unspoiled views. The best place to have a hike or visit the close by biggest and most important temple of Bali, Besakih temple.
When you leave Sideman the road will take you thru the best Balinese landscape with on the way the ocean on the east cost of Bali. Amed will be your next place to stay. We found a real unique hotel high in the mountains with unique ocean view. The hotel offers many activities like diving, snorkeling, hiking. Or just relax at the pool with the best view ever.
After leaving this unique place your road trip wil take you to Candidasa. The village of Candidasa is one of the oldest tourist places in Bali. Many years ago you would find here a long white sandy beach. But regrettably the ocean toke it some years ago. But be not disappointed. We again found some hidden gems. During your stay you can visit beaches as “secret beach” and “Virgin beach”. So what is in the name and not many will explore these place while visiting Bali. We selected a hotel just outside town at the ocean with big garden and pool.

Last day!! Your tour will end in the hotel to continue your dream stay in Bali. We will meet you again that day and you will handover the car to a representative.
