Once a quiet secret, Candi Dasa has blossomed into a popular yet peaceful coastal escape that still proudly holds onto its village charm. Visitors can enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, and trips to the seaside temple bearing the town’s name. The view—framed by offshore islets, Nusa Penida on the horizon, and a rugged headland—is breathtaking, with most resorts facing the open sea. Staying here saves travel time to East Bali’s cultural gems, and invites exploration through salak groves and hidden, time-forgotten villages.
