LOVINA

Lovina is a relatively new name coined in the 1950s by the late king of Buleleng (Buleleng Regency) Anak Agung Panji Tisna, with a good eye for future tourism-based development. It started with small lodge built on his own land and named Lovina.
Lovina comes alive a bit during the months of July and August when it is popular with European tourists and serves as a base for exploring all points of Pemuteran to the west and Amed to the east.
 
A strip of black sand beaches stretch for about 10 kilometers along the northern coast of Bali between the bustling town of Singaraja and the small town of Seririt. The chain of seaside villages along this strip is known as Lovina, a name coined in the 1950s by the late Raja de Buleleng who actively promoted the tourism development of the region. Lovina is said to be a contraction of "love Indonesia". The village of Kalibukuk is the main center and the unofficial center of Lovina.
Diving, snorkelling fishing dolphin watching, diving on coral reefs are the main activities, but perhaps above all else, this is an area in which to relax and take in a very slow, traditional pace of life. Lovina is ideal for family groups with young children or older adventurers who want to kick back and quickly become part of the community. It can get a little crowded in July and August, but outside that peak season, this is a quiet part of the island.
