Puri Bagus Candidasa address in Bali: Jl. Raya Candidasa, Desa Samuh, Candidasa, Karangasem, Bali, Indonesia.

Puri Bagus Candidasa is situated on a private beach, a 15-minute walk or short drive to the Candidasa town. Located on the island’s eastern resort area, the property is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from the Ngurah Rai Airport.

Who should go?
Our advice: situated off the main streets of Candidasa in Bali’s east, Puri Bagus Candidasa is ideal for those who wish to experience Balinese culture away from the island’s main tourist enclaves. The beaches of Candidasa are rockier and narrower than other parts of the island, however, for those seeking peace and tranquility, Puri Bagus’ comparatively quiet location more than makes up for it.

When to go?
Bali experiences a tropical climate with temperatures hovering around a balmy 30°C year round. Sightseeing is generally the most enjoyable during the dry months of April to September, which see sunnier and less humid weather with the occasional shower. The wet season lasts from October to March, during which daily downpours are common but short-lived. Due to Bali’s diverse topographies, temperatures vary across the island, so always bring a warm sweater or light jacket when visiting the highlands.

Where is it?
Puri Bagus Candidasa is situated on a private beach, a leisurely stroll or short drive to the Candidasa town. Located on the island’s eastern resort area, the property is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from the Ngurah Rai Airport.

Batun with a 14-km wide crater (70 minutes).

A romantic private dinner by the beach. An invigorating Royal Balinese Treatment in the Jaya Spa. Scrumptious Balinese fare in the Geringsing Restaurant. A visit to the indigenous Tenganan village. A snorkel or diving session to explore pristine corals or sunken ship.
