Mimpi
Resort Menjangan West Bali
Hidden away on Bali's north coast, just opposite Menjangan
Island and next to Bali Barat National Park, is Mimpi's newest dive
resort and spa, the Mimpi Menjangan Resort.
Soft-opened in December 1998, is located in North Bali on Banyuwedang
Bay accross from one of the best known diving spots in BALI - Menjangan
Island.
Away from Bali's tourist centers, offers unforgottable
holiday experience with its diving facilities, unique Balinese villas,
and abundant natural hot spring. Truly, one-of-a-kind hideway resort
in Bali.
All of 24 courtyard villas feature their own hot tub from the local
thermal spring. A large hot water pool in landscaped gardens caters
to the guests of the 30 patio rooms. Furthermore, the Resort offers
a seaside restaurant, as well as a bar and a meeting room, making
it the perfect venue for small corporate meetings and incentives.
Adventurous travelers can participate in a wide array of sports
activities. In addition to diving, the Mimpi Resort Menjangan is
the ideal setting for canoeing and fishing. For those who prefer
to stay on land you can explore the flora and fauna of Bali Barat
National Park or visit the famous Balinese temple, Pura Pulaki.
Also nearby is the original capital of Bali, Singaraja, with its
diverse mix of Islamic, Arabic, Chinese and Balinese cultures.
About Menjangan Island, Bali Barat
National Park and the Banyuwedang Hot Springs
Menjangan Island - the name means "deer" - hangs just
off-shore of the mountainous point in far north-western Bali. Because
the island is in a protected position, currents and wind-generated
waves are rarely a bother, and the reefs here offer fine diving
and crystal clear waters. Menjangan Island is another one of Bali's
top dive destinations.
The island is part of Bali Barat National
Park, a protected reserve area that encompasses much of Bali's sparsely
populated western end. Several distinct environments are to be found
within the park. It also is the home to two rare species of wildlife.
The Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi), found only in Bali, is
a small white bird with black wingtips and a brilliant blue streak
around its eyes. Only a few individuals still live in the wild here.
The park's research center can be visited and various trekking tours
can be arranged. Just next to the boundaries of the Bali Barat National
Park, the small village of Banyuwedang with its famous hot springs
is located. |
