Six km west of Singaraja, three hours drive from Denpasar, the popular beach resort of Lovina is a long stretch of black sand with crystal-clear water. Actually, Lovina is a generic term for a whole line of six small villages and palm-fringed beaches. From east to west it includes: Pemaron, Tukadmungga, Anturan, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem, and Temukus. The strip starts at about six km mark west of Singaraja to about five km past of Kaliasem. Kalibukbuk has the highest concentration of restaurants and accommodations while the fishing villages of Anturan and Temukus are less densely packed and thus quieter.

History has it, Lovina beach was the first seaside resort to appear in the mid-‘70s. The name “Lovina” was coined by the last King of Buleleng, Anak Agung Panji Tisna. He named this stretch of coast after the English word “love” in 1953. He founded the first hotel in this beach, Tasik Madu Hotel, or “sea of honey” hotel. The few simple accommodations that existed in the sleepy early 1970s were demolished in 1976 earthquake. The resort began anew and during the 1980s new accommodations and restaurants appeared. Lovina has had its ups and downs through the years, and always appears to be on the brink of a renaissance.

Up the mountain, out of Ubud towards Bedugul, we climbed into the cool misty valleys of the lakes region ( about 1.5 hours driving time). The climate here allows the growing of strawberries and cut flowers year round ! Lots of spices are grown here, as well as vegetables ( we bartered at a local market). The verdant valley holds a championship golf course as well.

When we topped a ridge to get a better view, I thought I was looking at a valley in Switzerland (breathtaking). We did not stay, as we were on the way to Lovina and Pemuteran.

I have since looked at several hotel/spa/resort descriptions on the mountain, and near each of the three lakes ( Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan), and found them enticing. Pura Gubug Tamblingan and Pura Ulun Danu are two interesting temples nearby.

I would stay there a few nights, during our next trip, just to breathe the cool air and eat strawberries.
