Bali Indonesia - Pemuteran

“Pemuteran is home to the largest artificial
Biorock reef project in the world and there
is a real spirit of marine conservation effort in this area,
resulting in corals thriving and hotelguests
happily enjoying the evergrowing biodiversity
when snorkelling in front of the resorts”
This is a small laid-back village which has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years. 

There are a number of waterfront resorts and its proximity to Lovina and West Bali National Park together with the extreme natural beauty of the area, has fuelled quite rapid growth in tourism infrastructure in the area.

Some of it derives from the fact that Pemuteran’s quick accessibility after arriving at Gilimanuk port by ferry makes it the perfect spot for a beach prolongation after an extended sightseeing tour through Java.

Pemuteran is home to the largest artificial Biorock reef project in the world and there is a real spirit of marine conservation effort in this area, resulting in corals thriving and hotelguests happily enjoying the evergrowing biodiversity when snorkelling in front of the resorts.

Not to forget nearby Menjangan island, blessed with some of the best-preserved reefs for both ambitioned diving and leisurely snorkelling. The dive sites are one of the best in all over Indonesia and numerous underwater film productions proove this. Right behind the resort’s entrances wait the great outdoors of Bali Barat (West Bali Nationalpark) with a wide choice of trekking paths through the forest, allowing birdwatchers to see very rare species such as the indigenous Jalak Bali (Bali Starling) or the Muntjak (Mouse Deer), an adorable dwarf-sized variety.
