On the beach of Pantai Lovina or Lovina Beach, North Bali, it`s very quiet and a friendly atmosphere

       

At the end of the day, the locals come to the beach to play football or volleyball,

swim, picnic or have a chat

There is a friendly atmosphere

Lovina Beach (or Pantai Lovina or often simply Lovina) is a coastal area

on the northwestern side of the island of Bali

The coastal strip stretches from 5 km west of the city of Singaraja to 15 km west

The Lovina area contains the small villages (from east to west) of Pemaron, Tukad Mungga, Anturan, Banyualit, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem and Temukus

It`s becoming more popular with tourists but remains far quieter than the

tourist hotspots of the island's south side

Popular activities for visitors are early-morning boat trips off the coast to see dolphins

Sacrifice in a temple along the beach

Picnic with the family

If you go at the dolphin statue to the right you see the fishermen village

Breakfast and working hours in consultation

Kadek was the cook who made our breakfast

Every morning we started with a plate of fresh fruit or a smoothie

After the fruit we got every day something different like banana pancake,

sandwich or toast with omelette or boiled egg

On request Kadek could also provide dinner

This was not included in the price

We asked her to surprise us every day with a Balinese meal and she did

All the ingredients she used were fresh and the sauces she made from scratch

Much was steamed in banana leaves and everything tasted equally delicious

You pay just as much as at a local restaurant but the quality is much higher

Moreover, you get dishes that aren`t on the menu in a tourist restaurant

She is approximately 2 hours busy preparing a meal

Then she cleans the kitchen, doing the dishes and makes coffee or tea

We can definitely recommend you to ask Kadek to make your dinner

Putu took care of the garden and pool

Komang (wife of Putu) ensured a clean house and can do your laundry (you pay per kg)

On the day of departure Komang made fresh loempia`s for us

Putu regularly gave us fresh fruit or a coconut

These sacrifices were offered daily by Kadek in the little temples in the garden

The stove also got a daily sacrifice
