About Us
The story behind The Other Side of Bali
The Other Side of Bali is a comprehensive travel guide dedicated to Northwest Bali — one of the island's least known and most beautiful regions. We believe that the best of Bali lies beyond the tourist trails of the south.
From coral gardens and quiet bays to the volcanic silhouettes visible from the hills, this part of Bali rewards slower travel. We built this guide to help visitors experience the region with more context, care, and curiosity.
Our Mission
We created this guide to help travelers discover the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm communities of Northwest Bali. From the pristine coral reefs of Pemuteran to the hilltop vistas of Sumberkima, we want to share the experiences that make this region truly special.
Created by Sumberkima Hill
The Other Side of Bali was created by Sumberkima Hill Retreat, a collection of unique private villas nestled on a hilltop overlooking the Bali Sea and the volcanoes of Java. Our deep connection to this region inspired us to share it with the world.
