North Bali · Lovina and Bukti
Four houses on the quiet north coast: three beachfront homes in Lovina and a seafront pool villa in the fishing village of Bukti. Black-sand mornings, dolphins at sunrise and the Bali Sea instead of the crowds of the south.
Why the north
Over the mountains from the airport, the island slows down. Fishing jukungs line the beach, the sea is calm enough to swim most mornings and the reef starts a few metres out.
Our four northern houses sit right on that coast: three in Lovina, one in the fishing village of Bukti. No beach clubs, no traffic, no queues for the view.

Questions
It's a three-hour drive from Denpasar. We can arrange a trusted private driver on request. This is not included in the stay and an extra fee applies.
Lovina is the small main town of the north coast. Three of our villas sit on its black-sand beach, close to warungs, dolphin boats and dive shops. Bukti is a quieter fishing village 60 minutes east, where Villa Seaview faces an even calmer stretch of coast.
It's one of the best in Indonesia. Menjangan, Tulamben and Amed are all within easy reach, with calm seas year-round.
Lovina's beachside warungs are a short walk or drive from each villa. For longer stays we stock the villa and recommend our favourite cooks for in-villa dinners.
Every guest receives our personal guide with the best activities, hidden spots and restaurants in the area.
