Candi Dasa Beach

Candi Dasa Beach, nestled away in the quiet neighbourhood of Samuh in a charming little village known as Bugbug, is a pleasant travel destination for your next trip to Bali.

Candi Dasa Beach was formerly referred to as Teluk Kehen which translates to ‘Kehen Bay’. This was later changed to its present name in order to reflect the growth of the tourism sector on this part of the island.
