Tulamben is a fishing village on the East coast of Bali, a 2.5 hour, country and coastal drive from the airport in Denpasar.

Tulamben is a quiet fishing village, but what lies beneath its sea makes it a destination for many people from around the world. 

 

Coral reefs are right in front of the villa and strung along the coastline, but it's main attraction sunk over 60 years ago.

​

The USAT Liberty was torpedoed during WWII while crossing the Lombok Strait, making it to Bali but breached off Tulamben and sank.  It's among the best and most popular snorkeling and dive sites in Bali, even for beginners.  It's lies just 30m off shore and starts at 5m deep.  Much of the huge 125m long wreck can be seen from the surface.

​

Travelling to Lali Jiwa from the airport, you will pass extensive rice paddies, monkeys in the wild, beautiful scenery, many  attractions and see traditional Balinese life.  A sign on the road, just north of the centre of Tulamben, clearly marks its location.

 

The main village centre is a short, casual walk from the villa.  Within a 10 minute scooter ride It has all the main services you'll need during your stay including supermarkets, ATM, medical services, money exchange, many restaurants and large morning market. Being away from the main tourist area, there are no hawkers.

​

In the distance, Tulamben is guarded by the sacred volcano, Mount Agung.  Morning sun on Agung is a spectacular site.

 

From Tulamben, Bali's main attractions and tourist areas
(e.g Amed) are accessible by scooter or a day trip with a driver.
 

Tulamben is a wonderful place to base your holiday in Bali.
