Lovina stretches across a swathe of over 8 kms coastline comprising a string of coastal villages, which are: Kaliasem, Kalibukbuk, Anturan, and Tukad Mungga – collectively known as Lovina. The heart of Lovina is the village of Kalibukbuk situated in the Buleleng District, Buleleng Regency.

Unlike other white-sand beaches on Bali, Lovina beach is of grey and black volcanic sand. Just as the nearby Pemuteran Beach, Lovina also features incredible underwater life to plunge in for those who enjoy diving and snorkeling. But, the main attraction here are the bottle-nosed dolphins (Tursiops truncates)n who haved made this coast their playground.

This seaside town is located on Bali's eastern coast, on the edge of a freshwater lagoon. It's a popular beach resort town, with scuba diving spots offshore and ferry services that can take you to other nearby Indonesian islands for day trips. Eastern Bali itself is home to a number of attractions, like Goa Lawah Temple (Bali's 'bat cave' temple), the breathtaking Lempuyang Temple set on a mountain peak, and Candidasa Lotus Lagoon, where pink and fuchsia flowers pepper the water's surface in a pretty display.

Nusa Dua is a peninsula in South Bali, well known as an enclave of high-end hotels. Nusa Dua is located 40km south of Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali. As well as a host of luxury hotels, Nusa Dua is home to the most popular golf course in Bali and the main convention centre on the island. The beaches here are glorious - white sands, long and safe for swimming. The public beach at Geger is the best to head to if you are not staying at Nusa Dua. This is also home to one of the best museums in Bali. The museum is nearly always empty.
