Bali is known for mainly its attractions in the southern, southeastern, and southwestern areas. But there is more to Bali than just those three areas. For one, there is West Bali. This area looks like a tip that is touching the Island of Java. Locals know it to be a place where people cross between the two islands through Gilimanuk port. But it has more things to it than that. If you want to know more about why go to West Bali and where you should stay, you’ve come to the right place! Here is a short article about visiting the port area and Finding your ideal Villa rental in West Bali!

Why West Bali?
The thing that makes West Bali very unique is its relatively untouched environment, where you can actually see and learn how Balinese people live and go around each day. This is a much more quiet and residential part of Bali, after all. This is also where people who need to go back and forth between the Island of Java and the Island of Bali live. Still, there are actually a lot more to the place than you would expect. Here are some possible activities you can do while visiting West Bali!
Bull/buffalo race watching
That’s right, if love your horse races or maybe racing in general then this might be for you. Often dubbed “Makepung” by locals, this is a festivity that is held frequently in Negara to spectate. It is also the official part of the “must-try” list whenever you are visiting the Regency of Jembrana, Bali.
National Parks
On the northwestern tip of Bali lies the West Bali National Park, a jungle paradise for you nature lovers. Hosting over 150+ different flora and fauna species, this place is a rare sight in Bali. If you think monkey forest is overrated or boring, then come here instead! From lush forests to islets at the north part of the National Park.
Surfing and beach/port life
Oh you think surfing stops at Canggu? If you want a secret surf spot in West Bali where you can learn to surf or just enjoy the beach in general, then you can come to the quiet yet quite beautiful Medewi beach. You can also appreciate and learn the lives of fishermen who live near or around the beach. Since it is also a port between Java and Bali, the fishermen/sailor community is strong here.
Even with all that, the best part is how untouched this place is with the effect of mass tourism. People here are still farming and fishing to earn their keep. If you appreciate those kinds of environments, then try visiting West Bali. For tours and travels surrounding West Bali, it’s best to try your accommodation provider if they provide packages or services to help you explore West Bali. Some of the lodging businesses below do have them, so be sure to check them out!
Now that you know a bit more about the place, why don’t we start looking at some accommodations, ey?
