Surfing
The volcanic promontory on which Puri Dajuma cottages are built is like a ship's hull whose bow waves give rise to some of the most beautiful
surf breaks.
Those waves actually break off well-known Medewi shoreline, a few hundreds meters from your own cottage.
The place is an authentic and not too crowded surfing spot, which attracts skilled surfers from all around the world. Let you draw along the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean. After the effort, let you pamper by our masseurs and savour a delicious cocktail while looking at the sunset from the terrace of your cottage.
Diving & Snorkeling The Menjangan National Park is acknowledged as one of the world's richest submarine parks thanks to its fantastic diversity of coral and fish species.
Located on Bali's northern coast, the park is only an hour's drive from your cottage.
Not only is it remarkable for its tremendous variety of fish species, it is also situated in the protective shadow of the Javanese volcanoes a few kilometers past the Bali Strait, midway between the sea, the semi-arid island and the sky, and offers a landscape of stunning contrasts.
Trekking
The fishing village of Pekutatan lies at the lower reaches of the Batur National park which extends upwards and culminates in holy Batur volcano.
Ranging from tropical rain forest bordering the sea up to high-altitude, arid and cool semi-active volcanoes, the Park is home to a variety of self-contained landscapes that have been shaped over thousands of years by the Balinese.
As such, they offer many hiking possibilities either in the nearby tropical countryside or somewhat further afield through this profuse diversity of plant and animal life, at staggered elevations.
Another fascinating National Park can be found in Western Java. The Semeru National Park is one of the Indonesia's largest, most impressive volcanic landscapes.
Still active volcanoes sit in a rugged caldera from which you can observe periodic blasts every 30 minutes from the high Semeru volcano: a giant plume of smoke rises high into the sky, as if greeting the smaller but still smoking Bromo volcano.
The relatively high altitude of the area makes its vegetation completely different from that of the coast : desert-like landscapes contrast sharply with the deep blue sky and afford you one of the most breathtaking sightseeing tours.
Should you feel like going into the rain forest, you may prefer to go for a ramble under the protection of giant equatorial trees, penetrating into the deep chlorophyll green vegetation and drop by a waterfall where you will be delighted by frolicking monkey and a cacophony of multicolored birds.
You can then follow this up with a canoe tour along one of the rivers flowing down the volcanic slopes, making your way back to your exquisite cottage, uplifted by this Balinese initiation to nature's jewels.
