Pemuteran sits on Bali's quiet northwest coast, where a calm bay protected by a reef is home to one of the world's largest Biorock coral restoration projects — an underwater field of electrically charged structures that have regrown vibrant reef from bare sand. It's a sleepy village base for diving, snorkelling and turtle conservation, far removed from Bali's busier south.

Traveler reviews

★★★★★

The Biorock reef was unlike anything we'd seen — so much coral and marine life right off the beach, and it was fascinating to learn how the project works.

Greta S. · August 2024

★★★★☆

Very quiet and relaxing after the busier parts of Bali. Dived Menjangan Island from here and the wall dive was excellent.

Marco V. · May 2024

★★★★★

Loved the slow pace — snorkelling in the morning, hot springs in the afternoon, and barely any other tourists around.
