Discover Seraya & Amed Hills – A Cliffside Coastal Retreat with Bali Car Rental with Driver

Contents

Tucked away in East Bali’s Karangasem Regency, the Seraya and Amed Hills offer a breathtaking blend of rugged coastline, rolling green hills, and sweeping views of the Lombok Strait. Far from the crowds of South Bali, this region is a haven for nature lovers, divers, photographers, and anyone seeking seaside serenity and authentic Balinese culture.

Known for its cliffside panoramas, traditional fishing villages, and volcanic black-sand beaches, this area is ideal for those looking to escape the typical tourist trail. Whether you’re relaxing in a hillside villa, exploring coral reefs, or trekking through quiet countryside, the Seraya and Amed Hills are the perfect addition to any Bali holiday.


Why Visit Seraya & Amed Hills on Your Bali Trip?

If you’re looking for something raw, natural, and peaceful—Seraya and Amed Hills are calling. Here’s why:

1. Spectacular Cliff and Ocean Views

The winding roads through Seraya and Amed provide panoramic ocean views, especially at sunrise and sunset. On clear days, you can even see Lombok Island and Mount Rinjani in the distance.

2. Snorkeling and Diving Paradise

The nearby coast of Amed is world-famous for vibrant coral reefs, sunken ships, and marine life. You can snorkel right from the beach or book a guided dive to spots like the Japanese Shipwreck and USAT Liberty in Tulamben.

3. Traditional Fishing Villages

Explore the slow-paced coastal villages where fishermen launch their colorful jukung boats at dawn. It’s a glimpse into daily life that remains untouched by modern tourism.

4. Peaceful Trekking Trails

The hills above Seraya offer scenic hiking and cycling trails through farmlands, forests, and traditional compounds. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the untouched side of Bali.

5. Easiest Access with a Bali Driver

Reaching these hills requires navigating winding roads through the eastern highlands. Booking a Bali car rental with driver ensures you travel safely, comfortably, and get insider tips on hidden spots along the way.

  • Diving sessions: Start from IDR 450,000 and up

  • Local hot springs or cultural sites: May charge a small entrance or donation fee

Bali Car Driver Bali Car Driver and it was the best decision I ever made. They have a lot of options to choose from, such as full day tours, half day tours, combination tours and activities tours. I opted for the Ubud and Tanah Lot Sunset Tour and it was amazing. I got to see the monkey forest, the rice terraces, the temple on the sea and the beautiful sunset. The driver guide was very friendly, informative and flexible. He also took great photos of me along the way.

Superb service. We were fortunate to meet Bali Car Driver on line since we had 6 pax for the first trip in July 2002. Putu was our attentive driver, in formative and caring with exceptional English. We were with him for 4 days including our second trip in September 2022. We highly recommend Bali Car Driver as your transportation, your guide and your friend.

Simply Amazing We stayed in Bali for two weeks. We hired this service and Ketut was our driver for 10 of the 14 days. During that time we had booked tours with other companies. We were so disappointed that we didn’t book everything here. Our driver was on time (If not early), he spoke fluent English, and made suggestions as to where to buy stuff. It was a pleasure!! Ketut made us feel safe and any attraction we went to, he walked us to the attraction and made sure we got in without any hassles. We are so happy we used them!! 6 STARS!!
