Explore More Than Just the Beach
Lovina may be known for its peaceful beaches and dolphin sightings, but there’s so much more to this North Bali gem. From natural wonders to cultural sites, Lovina offers a quiet but enriching experience for travelers looking to explore beyond the usual Bali checklist.
When you stay at Lusa Beach Studios, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy both the calm of the sea and the richness of the surrounding region. Here are the top 7 things to do in Lovina, all within easy reach of your beachfront studio.
1. Watch Dolphins at Sunrise
Lovina is famous for its early morning dolphin tours. Just before sunrise, traditional boats head out into the calm waters to spot pods of wild dolphins swimming freely. It’s not only magical, it’s also one of the most authentic marine experiences in Bali.
Lusa Beach Studios can help you arrange a local tour. Most boats leave just a few minutes from the beach right in front of the property.
2. Soak in Banjar Hot Springs
Tucked into the jungle hills above Lovina, Banjar Hot Springs is a local favorite. The stone-carved pools are fed by natural hot water, believed to have healing properties. It’s the perfect way to relax your body after a day of sightseeing or travel.
From Lusa Beach Studios, it’s about a 20-minute drive through scenic countryside.
3. Visit Brahmavihara Arama Buddhist Monastery
Just uphill from the hot springs lies Bali’s largest Buddhist monastery, Brahmavihara Arama. This peaceful hilltop complex features meditation rooms, gardens, and a miniature replica of Borobudur. The view from the top is stunning, especially at sunset.
It’s a quiet place that reflects the calm spirit of North Bali.
4. Explore Hidden Waterfalls
If you love nature, North Bali’s waterfalls are a must. Some of the best options near Lovina include:
- Aling-Aling Waterfall – Known for its cliff jumps and natural slides.
- Gitgit Waterfall – A tall, photogenic fall surrounded by lush jungle.
- Sekumpul Waterfall – A bit farther, but often considered Bali’s most beautiful.
Each waterfall offers a different experience, whether you’re up for a short walk or a more adventurous trek.
5. Stroll Lovina’s Local Market
The traditional morning market in central Lovina gives you a peek into daily life. You’ll find tropical fruits, local snacks, handmade goods, and friendly conversations. It’s not touristy — it’s real, and that’s what makes it special.
You can stop by after a sunrise walk or dolphin tour, then return to Lusa Beach Studios for breakfast by the sea.
6. Take a Snorkeling Trip to Coral Reefs
While Lovina isn’t known for surfing, it has surprisingly good snorkeling spots just offshore. Join a local fisherman’s boat or book a day trip to the coral gardens near Menjangan Island. The water is calm, and the marine life is vibrant.
Ask the team at Lusa to help you organize a boat ride or connect with local guides.
7. End the Day with a Lovina Sunset
You don’t need to go far to enjoy one of Lovina’s best features — the sunset. The north-facing coast gives you a front-row view as the sky turns orange, pink, and deep blue.
At Lusa Beach Studios, the best seat in the house is on your own terrace. Or step into the pool and watch the sun melt into the sea.
