Plan your stay in Amed
Everything you need before staying in Amed
Where to stay, how to move around, how many days you need and what nobody tells you before visiting Bali’s east coast
Planning a trip to Amed is very different from planning a holiday in southern Bali. Distances are longer, villages feel disconnected, transport is slower, and choosing the right area can completely change your experience. This guide collects everything you need before booking your stay.
Before you book anything
Amed is not the easiest part of Bali — and that’s exactly the point
Amed is quiet, spread out, and still deeply local. Some villages are perfect for snorkeling, others work better for long stays or remote work. Internet quality changes by area. Roads can feel isolated. And moving around without a scooter isn’t always simple.
The more you understand Amed before arriving, the better your experience will be.
