From ridge to reef, water is life in Bali. While the Island of the Gods may be best known to many as a saltwater paradise, there are, in fact, some beautiful bodies of fresh water that must not be overlooked. Chasing waterfalls is one thing, and embarking on a melukat traditional water cleansing ceremony is another, but sitting beside one of Bali’s caldera lakes is special. For nature lovers who want to escape the beachfront crowds and connect to nature and Balinese culture, heading to the lakes is always a good idea.
You can really make yourself at home around the water’s edge too. There are now many gorgeous glamping spots around all four of Bali’s most famous lakes. We hasten to add that you’ll also be gifted with the most incredible stargazing round these parts, too.
