This fishing village has become increasingly popular with Muslim visitors in recent years. There are a number of waterfront resorts and its proximity to Lovina and West Bali National Park together with the extreme natural beauty of the area, has fuelled quite rapid growth in tourism infrastructure in the area. There are countless diving centers, bike rentals, art shops and guest houses, but they are concentrated alongside the primary street and the beaches. As soon as one leaves the primary street, traditional village lifestyle can be witnessed, with small farms, temples and schools.

Pemuteran is home to the largest artificial Biorock reef project in the world and there is a real spirit of marine conservation effort in this area.

Travel to Pemuteran

Visitors usually arrive in Pemuteran on the north coast road from Lovina or Singaraja, aproximately 50 kilometers or 1h 15 minutes, or from the west at Gilimanuk]. Regular bemos ply the north coast road but they are very slow and get extremely crowded. You can easly grab one of them almost everywhere on the road.

You will have no problem renting a vehicle with driver to take you from Lovina to Pemuteran - fix the price in advance and make sure petrol is included. A direct ride to Pemuteran from tourist centres in the south will take about four hours depending on traffic on the coast roads.The ride from Amed takes between 3-3.5 hours depending on the traffic and will set you back between Rp 700,000-600,000 depending on your bargaining skills (2022).

How to get around in Pemuteran

The traffic on the primary street easily competes with the one in Ubud. There are no sidewalks and motorbikes sometimes drive on the opposite side of the road as well.

What to see in Pemuteran

Early morning dolphin watching, as in Lovina, boat trips can be arranged through any hotel. By no means guaranteed, but you have a decent chance of finding a pod here.

The beaches are especially nice in this area and consist of a particularly fine grained black sand. Reefs located to the east of the beach emerge at low tide, and are teaming with marine life including sea urchins and small crabs. Not far off from the beach on the west side of the village one can swim to the Biorock, a local coral restoration project which started in 2000. As can be seen when swimming off Menjangan Island, corals are fast perishing in the area. The beaches and the Biorock can easily be visited on foot from Pemuteran.

Menjangan Island and West Bali National Park are easily reached from here. The Menjangan Island boats depart from Labuhan Lalang which is a 15 minutes ride west from Pemuteran. Obligatory permits can be purchased from the national park office at the back of the Labuhan Lalang vehicle park and you can also arrange a guide here. It is quite common for groups of visitors to congregate in this vehicle park and join together to charter a boat. Most local hotels will make any arrangements you need for activities related to the national park.

Proyek Penyu (turtle project) is a turtle breeding and release program run by one of the dive operators in co-operation with local villagers. Very much worth a visit and certainly worth your support.

  • Pearl farm - Atlas pearl farm | The main farm of Atlas Pearls is located on the coast in Penyabangan, east of Pemuteran. While there is a show room and sales area, one can visit the oyster hatchery and watch an interesting video explaining the pearl farming process. One can also observe the hatching process.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

Pemuteran is quite expensive by Balinese standards. There are more budget options opening and it is feasible to stay cheaply with local people in their houses if you ask around once you arrive. Staying near the primary street guarantees a never-ending stream of motorbike engine noise (especially as Balinese youth find it amusing to remove their exhaust mufflers).
