Part of the greater West Bali National Park, Menjangan is a white-sand idyll just off the northern coast of the island, named after the local deer (menjangan) who swim across the mellow waters from the Prapat Agung Peninsula every spring. The island is renowned for its dramatic diving and snorkelling opportunities and the waters are clear, calm, and filled with exotic coral gardens, their fringes filled with fish not found anywhere else in the world. There are no residents on the island itself – aside from 16 Hindu monks that live in three temples – and most visitors stay in Pemuteran, the gateway to the island on the mainland. It’s a quiet bay of black sand beaches backed by towering escarpments and craggy mountains and incredibly close to Java, which can be seen in some of the unique architecture.

Whether you’re collecting checks for your wildlife checklist, want to spend your days underwater in a wetsuit, or are simply looking for somewhere to flop, drop and relax, Menjangan provides.
Explore the anchor wreck, an old wooden ship wreck though to have sunk during WWII. With a cargo of ceramics and glass bottles, it’s fascinating to dive to – and you may even spot a turtle or two.
The logistics to get here require some planning – and a little time – but it’s oh-so worth it when you arrive in paradise.
