2 dive logs in “Candidasa”

  1. Having visited Bali for over 20 years, Candi Dasa was not really our dream holiday destination. However, our first trip quite recently changed our view.

    We are fortunate to experience Candi Dasa the 5-star way. Staying at Villa Dahlia, an oceanfront high end boutique villa which is a stone throw away from The Alila where we hung out when we felt like stepping out. They also offer amazing spa, a fabulous culinary journey through cooking class and dining experience. We did ricefield trekking nearby and was fascinated with the cleanliness of the area and the Alila Organic farm is a must stop. We then had a lovely local lunch at Joglo, the next day we also tried Lotus Seaview in Candi Dasa. Both are really good cafes serving local food but there are some thing for everyone, not all of them are spicy stuff. Dinner at Vincents, offering fushion kind of cuisine exceeds the expectation. My boys did a fishing expedition and came back with some catch of the day for chilling and grilling by the pool.

    We can’t fit in everything in 5 days with activities that must be done at Candi Dasa, famously known for best spots for diving or mountain climbing. We don’t really want to come home and feel like we need another holiday.

    Highly recommend the places I stated above. Better safe than sorry so advance bookings are always essential, except at Joglo and Lotus Seaview cafes. Eventhough they can be quite busy but they don’t seem to be overly crowded.

    If you book in advance, most likely the establishments can provide you with free-pick up and drop off services, if you stay locally.

    If you are a frequent consumer of alcohol, Bali has produced local wines. Look for Hatten or Two Islands. We prefer Two Islands eventhough produced by same company. Unlike Hatten that uses homegrown grapes, Two Island uses Aussie grapes but processed in Bali.

    Our stay in Candi Dasa was bloody bagus, mates!
