Here, among picturesque black sand beaches, volcanic landscapes, and calm bays, lies an underwater world that attracts both beginner and experienced divers.
Amed is a scenic resort on the eastern coast of Bali that has quickly gained popularity among diving enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful getaway. Far from the bustling tourist zones, you will find kilometers of black and gray sandy beaches, charming villages, and a rich underwater ecosystem.
The resort consists of nine villages, each with its own unique atmosphere. The main tourist infrastructure—hotels, restaurants, and dive centers—is concentrated in the village of Amed. In more remote villages, such as Aas or Selang, a more secluded and tranquil ambiance prevails. The beaches are lined with traditional fishing boats, as fishing remains an important livelihood for the local community.
Amed attracts divers with its coral reefs that start right off the shore and stretch down to depths of up to 50 meters. The waters are home to dozens of marine species, from colorful reef fish to majestic manta rays and reef sharks. The most popular diving spot is Jemeluk Bay, whose coral garden and vertical wall adorned with diverse corals impress even seasoned divers. On the sandy seabed, you can find eel gardens, while in deeper waters, mola mola, barracudas, and moray eels can often be spotted.
Diving conditions in Amed are suitable for both beginners and professionals. Clear waters with visibility ranging from 15 to 25 meters, mild currents, and a warm climate make diving comfortable all year round. Along the coastline, there are also sites perfect for snorkeling, allowing you to explore the underwater world without special equipment.
Beyond diving, Amed captivates visitors with its natural landscapes. From the beaches, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sacred Mount Agung, and on clear days, you can even spot the neighboring island of Lombok. This destination is perfect for those who want to experience nature, the sea, and tranquility.
