From Hot Springs to Waterfalls: How I Spent a Perfect Half Day in Lovina
Lovina has a different rhythm compared to the rest of Bali. It’s quieter. Slower. And that’s exactly why spending half a day here feels surprisingly complete. Here’s how I spent a perfect half day in Lovina without rushing and without stress.
Morning Calm at Banjar Hot Spring
The day started at Banjar Hot Spring, just a short drive from Lovina.
The warm water instantly relaxed my muscles, and the sound of flowing water mixed with birdsong made it easy to forget the outside world. Locals and travelers soaked together, sharing smiles without many words. It felt like the right way to begin the day—slow and peaceful.
Chasing Waterfalls at Aling-Aling
Next, we headed toward the hills to Aling-Aling Waterfall.
The walk down was refreshing, and the view was worth every step. Tall trees, fresh air, and the sound of falling water surrounded us. Standing there, it felt like nature was doing all the talking. This stop added a touch of adventure to the day—just enough to feel energized, not exhausted.
Finding Peace at Banjar Buddhist Temple
After the waterfall, we visited Banjar Buddhist Temple.
The quiet atmosphere was instantly calming. Unlike busy temples in other parts of Bali, this one felt personal and intimate. Walking through the gardens and small stupas gave me a moment to reflect and simply enjoy the silence. Sometimes, travel isn’t about doing more—but about feeling more.
Ending the Day at Krisna Oleh-Oleh Bali
Before heading back, we stopped at Krisna Oleh-Oleh Bali.
It was the easiest souvenir shopping I did in Bali, air-conditioned, organized, and affordable. I picked up coffee, snacks, and small gifts without worrying about bargaining or time. A perfect ending to a simple, satisfying half-day trip.
