Pondok Pisang Candidasa

Pondok Pisang Candidasa sits right on the oceanfront, with clear blue water, white sand and snorkeling. The spacious, old-school wooden bungalows are naturally bright and airy and fan-cooled, with a private bathroom and Wi-Fi. The on-site restaurant serves fresh, healthy food, specialty coffee and green juices. The oceanfront deck is set up for sunbathing and reading, and later for sunsets and stargazing. Guests can also use the swing or stroll through the gardens.

Facilities include a fully equipped yoga studio with classes, a mini trampoline, snorkel gear, bicycles, a fire pit, laundry, an airport shuttle and massages. All can be arranged, some for an extra fee.

Small fishing boats can be hired to reach snorkeling spots such as Blue Lagoon.

White Sand Beach is a 10-minute drive away, good for a walk, a fresh coconut and a seafood lunch at one of the local beachfront warungs.
