The Location

Balian is on the west coast of Bali. It is 50 kms from Kuta or about 1 and half hours drive from Denpasar and about 20 minutes before Medewi.

The drive from Denpasar takes you past Tanah Lot, through the large city of Tabanan, and smaller villages including Bajera then onto Lalanglinggah where Balian is located. You will see beautiful countryside, flowing rivers and Balinese villages and lifestyle along the way.

Balian is a small village with a river and palm trees all around. Cows graze in the fields, chickens walk freely around and life is relaxed and calming. The surf is uncrowded. You don’t need a car, you can walk around taking in the beautiful surroundings and village life.

According to the local Hindu villagers, the river Balian is very sacred. The word “balian” means white magic or positive energy. It is said that the river Balian has the power to remove black magic or negative energy.

With gentle hills and the sacred river flowing into the sea, you can feel your negative energy drain away and leave you with a sense of peace and tranquility.
