EXPLORE
Balian Beach
Balian Beach is a remote little village midway up Bali's west coast, renowned for its rideable waves, relaxed vibes, and stunning sunsets. Here, you can unwind, watch the surfers or stroll down the beach.
Aside from surfing, Balian offers unspoiled beaches where you can often find miles of sand all to yourself, free from haggling vendors. Our accommodation features an amazing eatery, and you'll also have a variety of Western and Indonesian restaurant options close by. Enjoy the freedom to relax and explore this serene paradise.
Pondok Pitaya Hotel
Nestled within this tranquil paradise is the renowned Pondok Pitaya Surfer Hotel. The hotel rooms have been thoughtfully created by repurposing traditional Javanese houses, each with origins dating back to the 1930s.
