Chasing Sunset from Lovina Beach

Lovina is a tropical island gem located between Bedugul mountain range and the Bali sea. Since we heard so much raving about the beautiful sunset in Bali, we decide to view it exclusively from the fisherman's boat. From Lovina beach, we hired a the fisherman's boat (together with the fisherman because none of us can row a fisherman's boat) and go to the middle of the sea to chase the sunset. We left the beach just at the right moment as the sun is getting nearer to the horizon.

Sunset lasts pretty fast so you better not looking anywhere else when the sun has come down near to the horizon.

The sea was so tranquil when the sun set. The color of the sky it very beautiful during the sunset. All of us went quiet and enjoyed the moment while it lasted.

We can see Bedugul mountain range from the middle of the sea too. The trip to the middle of the sea was really memorable and worthwhile. In addition, Lovina is comparatively quieter and less crowded than the other famous beaches in Bali like Kuta or Tanjong Benoa. If you are looking for a place to relax without having to hustle with so many other tourists, you may want to try staying in a hotel in Lovina area. Other than sunset watching, you can watch the sunrise together with the dolphins. Doesn't that sound awesome?

How to go to Lovina:

1. By taxi

You can take a cab directly from the airport to Lovina. The trip will take approximately 3 hours and it costs 450,000 rupiah (USD 32).

2. By bus

Perama, a bus operator in Bali, offers shuttle buses to Lovina which leave from Bali's major tourist destination such as Kuta, Sanur, and Ubud. The buses are actually mini buses without air-conditioning but it costs way cheaper than taking a cab at 140,000 rupiah (USD 10).

Bali Travel: Lovely Sunset at Kuta Beach

Lately, whenever I had the chance to daydream in the office, I really feel like going back to Bali. The food, the beach, the ocean, the sunset. Oh man. I still remember the day my family and I went to Kuta area. We came too early for sunset so we had a bit of wandering around Kuta area. We had the chance to visit Hard Rock Cafe too. Although we never seem to buy anything from Hard Rock since we don't really collect souvenir or t-shirt from Hard Rock.

When it's near sunset time, we joined the crowd at Kuta Beach. Kuta Beach is open for public so you don't have to stay in some kind of resort to enjoy the beach area and hence, enjoy the sunset for free.

Bali's sunset is always amazing in my opinion. The sunset view from Kuta is no exception.

The sun set pretty quick too so make sure you manage to take a lot of pictures before the night falls.

We continued our walking in Kuta area while looking for food. And looks what we found.

Well, I don't think that carriage can move anywhere at all. XD

Indonesia Travel: Sunset at Bali Garden Beach Resort, Kuta

Since I am in the deep wanderlust mood, let's start with a picture of the beautiful sunset in Kuta beach. Okay, this makes me wanna go back there again. #wrongmove

Well if you are looking for a resort which has access to the beautiful beach. Which in turn, give you access to the fantastic sunset view, you may want to consider staying at Bali Garden Beach Resort at Kuta. It is located right next to Discovery Shopping Mall.

At night time, you can opt to have dinner at resort restaurant, Boardwalk Restaurant. Based on the resort website, it offers fine authentic Mediterranean Cuisine, comfort food and a selection of Indonesian and seafood favorites located in a stunning beach front setting right on Kuta beach.

And there is an entertainment too so you will not feel bored while waiting for your food. It's the Balinese traditional dance.

I ordered chicken satay drenched in peanut sauce served with white rice. Let's not forget the frozen strawberry margarita too.

There's always room for a portion of sundae. ^^

Wandering in Indonesia: Sunset at Dreamland Beach, Bali

Dreamland Beach is an alternative for tourists to the overcrowded Kuta Beach. It was promoted as a "hidden paradise" back then when not many people heard about Dreamland Beach before.

Cars and other motor vehicles must park at the designated parking area and we need to walk for 5 minutes before we reach the beach area. Once you see a lot of umbrellas, you know that you reach the commercial part of the beach. There are people selling drinks and food so you don't have to worry about starving here.

The water is so clear and there were not so many people at that time. However, since I visited Dreamland back in 2011, the area may be more crowded now since it has become more and more commercialised.

We took a walk alongside the beach while waiting for the sun to set. Found a little cave nearby. The cave will be hidden by sea water during tide though.

A nice tranquil afternoon spent walking alongside Dreamland Beach. I really love the feeling. =)

Ironically, this is the best shot that I took around 5pm. Why is that so? Because when the sun set, the cloud were covering it. T_T.

No matter how the sunset gonna turn out, Dreamland Beach still gave us so many nice warm memories. I love Dreamland Beach. ^^

Wander in Indonesia: Sunset watching at Ku de Ta, Bali

Bali has a number of places to watch sunset, especially if you are willing to splurge. If budget is not an issue for you, you may want to consider do sunset watching at one of the bars along Seminyak called Ku De Ta.

Ku de Ta has indoor and outdoor area. But if you specifically go to Ku de Ta for sunset watching, you may need to come earlier to save your seat. As you can see, this is the view of the outdoor area around 5.30ish. Barely any place left for you to sit. The waiter told us that some customers came as early as 3pm in the afternoon. My goodness.

You always have the option to sit on the private beach area belongs to Ku de Ta though.

I always feel a tad melancholic whenever I saw a pretty sunset. Thanks God for the beautiful nature.
