Lovina, Bali

Lovina is the tourist belt along the northern coast of Bali. The area stretches from 5 km to the west of Singaraja to 15 km to the east, within the regency of Buleleng.

Within the Lovina stretch are several villages from Kaliasem to the west to Tukadmungga to the east. The beach here has black sand and coconut trees. Outrigger canoes can be rented here for dolphin-sighting trips.

Lovina Beach


The name Lovina, which is said to come from "Luv Indonesia", was taken from the home owned by Pandji Tisna, the Regent of Buleleng, who pioneered tourism in Bali in the early 1950's. Unlike the more happening tourist spots such as Kuta, Lovina in comparison is subdued and serene. This is a place for relaxation and quiet reflection. At the village of Temukus, you can do a trek to visit the Singsing waterfall.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
