Getting to North Bali from the Airport
North Bali — encompassing the regency of Buleleng with its capital Singaraja and the popular beach town of Lovina — is located on the opposite side of Bali from the airport. The journey covers approximately 100-120 kilometers and takes between 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on the route and traffic conditions.
There are two main routes from Ngurah Rai Airport to North Bali:
The Western Route via Bedugul: This is the most popular route, passing through the scenic highlands of central Bali. You’ll drive through Mengwi, climb up to the Bedugul lake district (where you can glimpse the iconic Ulun Danu Bratan Temple), then descend through Pancasari and Gitgit — home to Bali’s most famous waterfall — before reaching the north coast at Singaraja. This route takes approximately 3 hours.
The Eastern Route via Kintamani: This alternative route passes through Gianyar, up to the spectacular Kintamani volcano viewpoint overlooking Mount Batur and Lake Batur, then descends through Kubutambahan to reach North Bali. Slightly longer at 3-3.5 hours, this route offers breathtaking volcanic scenery and is ideal if you want to combine your transfer with sightseeing.
North Bali International Airport — The Future of Travel
The long-discussed North Bali International Airport represents one of the most significant infrastructure projects in Bali’s tourism development. Planned for construction in Kubutambahan, Buleleng Regency, this airport would dramatically change how visitors access the northern part of the island.
Currently, all international and domestic flights to Bali arrive at Ngurah Rai International Airport (airport code: DPS) in the south. This means travelers heading to North Bali face a long ground transfer. The proposed new airport would reduce this to a short 15-20 minute drive from the terminal to Singaraja or Lovina.
The project has received attention from both the Indonesian government and international investors, though a definitive construction timeline and opening date have yet to be officially confirmed. We keep our readers updated with the latest airport overview and construction updates as information becomes available.
Popular Destinations in North Bali
North Bali offers a refreshing contrast to the bustling tourist areas of the south. Here, you’ll find authentic Balinese culture, stunning natural landscapes, and a peaceful atmosphere that many travelers describe as “the real Bali.” Here are the top destinations we serve:
Singaraja — The Historic Capital
Singaraja was Bali’s capital during the Dutch colonial era and remains the largest city in North Bali. With a population of over 150,000, it offers a genuine look at everyday Balinese life. Visit the Gedong Kirtya library (home to ancient lontar manuscripts), explore the Chinese temple Ling Gwan Kiong, and browse the traditional Pasar Anyar market. Singaraja is also the gateway to many of North Bali’s top attractions.
Lovina Beach — Dolphins & Black Sand
Lovina Beach is North Bali’s most popular tourist destination, stretching 8 kilometers along the coast. Famous worldwide for its dolphin watching tours at sunrise, Lovina also offers calm seas perfect for swimming and snorkeling, black volcanic sand beaches, and a laid-back atmosphere. The area has a good selection of hotels, from budget guesthouses to boutique resorts, plus numerous beachfront restaurants. Don’t miss the nearby Banjar Hot Springs, a natural thermal pool surrounded by tropical gardens. Read our complete Lovina Beach guide.
Pemuteran — Diving Paradise
Pemuteran is a quiet coastal village in West Buleleng, renowned for its coral reef restoration project (Biorock) and world-class diving at nearby Menjangan Island. The underwater visibility here is among the best in Bali, with vibrant coral walls and diverse marine life. Pemuteran is ideal for divers, snorkelers, and travelers seeking true tranquility away from crowds.
Munduk — Mountain Retreat
Munduk sits in the highlands at 800 meters elevation, offering cool temperatures, coffee plantations, and spectacular waterfalls. The Twin Lakes (Tamblingan and Buyan) are nearby, and the area is perfect for trekking, birdwatching, and experiencing authentic highland village life. Munduk is increasingly popular as a digital nomad retreat due to its peaceful environment and inspiring mountain views.

Travel Tips for North Bali
Planning a trip to North Bali? Here are essential tips from our local team:
Best Time to Visit: The dry season (April to October) offers the best weather, with June to August being peak season. The rainy season (November to March) brings afternoon showers but also lower prices and fewer tourists.

Getting Around: Within North Bali, you can rent a scooter (IDR 75,000/day), hire a car with driver (IDR 500,000-700,000/day), or use our car rental service for self-drive options.
