A short distance to the west of Pemuteran village is a cove called Banyuwedang. Its name means "hot springs", because there are a number of springs located along the shore, believed to have curative powers. These springs are often submerged during high tide. The Mimpi Resort Menjangan is a spa resort that has been built at one of these springs.

About 5 km to the east of Pemuteran is a coastal village called Pura Pulaki. It sits on a ridge where it slopes steeply down into the sea. The temple is yet another associated with the Majapahit priest Dang Hyang Nirartha, who was said to have turned the locals here into gamang or demons.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
