Candidasa translates as Ten Temples in the Balinese language, and as the name suggests there are plenty of Buddhist shrines to explore.

A day’s trekking can be easily organized for visitors at Lotus Bungalows. An early morning trek up Gumang Hill offers amazing views of Candidasa and is also the perfect spot to catch incredible sunrise views. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Balinese countryside by organizing a hike from Kastala to Tenganan where the villagers are famous for their traditional basket weaving. Or for those feeling particularly energetic, there is the option of an early morning climb up the slopes of Mount Agung for another unforgettable sunrise and some of the best views on Bali. Flowing from the sacred mountain is the mighty Telaga Waja River. As well as being sacred, the waters are perfect for rafting as the river drops 200 meters over some 14 km through unspoiled jungle and verdant rice fields to the sea. Don’t worry if you can’t decide which adventure to set off on first, Lotus Seaside Bungalows is happy to organize an itinerary to perfectly suit you and your family.

Lotus Bungalows Candidasa Beach Combines Tourism with Sustainability

Lotus Bungalows Candidasa Beach is committed to being a sustainable hotel. For example, the Golf by the Sea experience utilizes biodegradable Ocean Golf balls allowing guests to practice their swing into the ocean in the knowledge that they will disintegrate harmlessly releasing a core of tasty fish food when they do so. Marine conservation is very important to the owners and team at Lotus Bungalows Candidasa Beach, and visitors are invited to take part in protecting the surrounding environment by getting involved in the Adopt-A-Coral scheme in association with the Coral Triangle Centre. The scheme has been created to support reefs in the Nusa Penida Protected Area that are under threat. Those who adopt some baby coral will be able to tag it with a personalized message and receive a photograph and a certificate as well as updates on how the coral is getting on via email.

Visitors to Lotus Bungalows Bali can also contribute by helping with community beach clean-ups. By staying at Lotus Seaside Bungalows guests can rest assured that everything is being done to make their holiday as sustainable as possible as the hotel is committed to protecting the natural environment through schemes such as reducing waste, eliminating single-use plastics, reducing the use of chemicals, composting kitchen waste, separating recyclables, and practicing energy and water conservation.
