  Your adventure from Sanur to Pekutatan in western Bali is filled with fascinating stops, allowing you to experience the island's rich culture and natural beauty.

The delicate designs and traditional techniques are a true reflection of Bali's artistic soul.

The quiet beauty of this place, combined with the scent of the offerings, creates a tranquil moment that captures the essence of Bali’s spiritual life.

  

  
  Finally, after a day filled with exploration, you’ll arrive at Puri Dajuma, your peaceful hotel by the beach. Nestled in this idyllic coastal setting, you can unwind and reflect on the day’s journey, soaking in the natural beauty and calm of the surroundings.

• Day 5-6 / Pekutatan - unwind & relax

  

  
  
  In Pekutatan, you'll find a perfect blend of relaxation and authentic Balinese culture. The hotel is set right on a beautiful, unspoiled beach, where you can unwind under the sun or take refreshing dips in the ocean. With two pools on-site, you can switch between saltwater and poolside relaxation whenever you please.

  

  
  The beach is a vibrant scene of local life, with fishermen mending their nets as they prepare for another day's catch. It's a wonderful sight that reflects the timeless rhythm of coastal life in Bali. In both directions, 20 kilometers of untouched beach stretches out, inviting you to wander along the shore, enjoy the fresh sea breeze, and take in the stunning views.

  

  
  As you walk, you might come across ceremonies held by the locals, where offerings of flowers, fruit, and incense are presented to the sea gods. These sacred rituals are a beautiful reminder of the spiritual connection that the Balinese people have with nature, especially the powerful sea that sustains them.
  
  

  

  
  The sight of these ceremonies, combined with the tranquil beauty of the beach, will transport you into the heart of Bali’s rich cultural traditions.

  

  
  Only 30 minutes drive you reach the nearby turtle sanctuaries. Every year, thousands of eggs are collected along the beach. When the turtles hatch, they are kept in rehabilitation until they are strong enough to be released. Help with the release and contribute to securing the population. Ask us to take you on a turtle trip.
