Located on the northeastern coast of Bali, is the small village of Candidasa. A tranquil coastal area nestled between the Lombok Strait to the east and mountains to the west, Candidasa is within close proximity to many historical landmarks of Bali including Bali's mother temple, Pura Besakih, Tenganan (the aboriginal people of Bali) as well as the ferry terminal to Lombok. Some of the best diving and snorkeling areas in Bali are also within the Candidasa area. As Candidasa has become more popular with day-trippers, the demand for accommodations and eatery places has grown to wide selection that ranges from star rated properties to simple homestays. All in all, Candidasa is a great place to go for a few days of relaxation.
History Notes:
Candi Dasa is the name of a temple on the side of the road to Amlapura / Karangasem. From the ancient relics in the temple, Candi Dasa can be dated back to the 11th century, although there are no complete data on the history of the temple as such. The words "DASA" means ten. It refers to the 10 holy teachings of the TRI PITAKA, the Buddhist scripture. It is also a place to worship Shiva.
Candi Dasa is a temple of Hinduism and Buddhism in one. The fresh water pool in front of the temple which flows into the sea adds beauty to the scenery.
In recent years Candi Dasa has develoved into a popular tourist resort, yet it is unspoiled, peaceful and a pleasant retreat from the hustle and bustle of today's crowded cities.
It could be said to be a retreat to the "last paradise"...
