Romantic diving vacation to Bali
Located on Bali’s idyllic northeast coast, the Siddhartha Oceanfront Resort & Spa invites you to an authentic Balinese stay, enveloped in tranquility and rustic charm. The intimate resort, just steps from the sacred volcano Mount Agung, is the perfect base from which to explore Bali’s rich culture and nature.
Diving in Bali
On this dive vacation you will explore several dive spots including Nusa Penida, known for Manta Point where manta ra ys are regularly spotted and in the right season Mola Molas! Other dive sites nearby such as Tulamben and Amed are ideal for underwater photography because of their remarkable macro life and the famous Liberty Wreck. To make it complete, you will also go diving at Candidasa. What is ideal about this location in Bali is that it is also extremely suitable for non-diving partners. There are numerous excursions to take, including visiting temples, rice fields and other land excursions.
Romantic stay in Bali
After a day of diving and/or excursions, enjoy a wonderful massage at Siddhartha’s spa. For those who want to relax, the pool overlooking the ocean and a spacious sun terrace are available. In addition, the resort offers (free) yoga sessions, allowing you to fully unwind in this serene environment.
Best time to dive in Bali
The best travel time for diving in Bali is generally between the months of April and December. During this period it is usually dry and water temperatures are pleasant. Moreover, visibility is usually better underwater. The period from mid-September to late October marks the beginning of the so-called cold-water season, characterized by the influx of cold deep-sea water into the shallower waters. This season offers ideal diving conditions and Mola Molas are frequently seen.
Average Temperatures
Wetsuit advice for diving in Bali

Day 1 & 2 | The journey to Bali
Today begins your diving trip to beautiful Bali. From Europe you can sometimes fly to Bali with a direct flight, but often with one stopover in about 16 to 18 hours. Upon arrival at the airport, the driver will be waiting for you to drive you to the resort in about three hours.
If you arrive very late in the evening, we recommend an overnight stay near the airport first so that you can get to the resort well rested in the morning.
Day 3 to 10 | Diving in Bali
In the heart of East Bali you will find the most beautiful dive sites, harboring enormous diversity. If you spend the next 8 days diving here, a lot of great moments await you with the diving package included in your trip.
Sixteen dives are on your program, and believe me, you will not be bored for a moment here. The Siddhartha dive boat “Baba,” which can accommodate 10 divers, ensures that every dive here becomes a personal experience.
Bali’s mesmerizing reefs are like works of art rising from the depths of the ocean. With more than 50 diving and snorkeling sites easily accessible from the Siddhartha dive center, you have an abundance of choices. Right outside the resort’s door is a stunning house reef, part of the Kubu Marine Park and almost direct access to the Boga wreck.
The other legendary dive sites of Tulamben and Amed, including the famous USAT Liberty Wreck, are just steps away.
Day 11 | Land excursion or Relaxing?
In Bali, there is hardly a day without a ceremony taking place. Rituals and offerings to the gods are essential within the unique blend of Hindu customs that the Balinese follow. Siddhartha Oceanfront Resort is the ideal base to take you to the most beautiful and unique places on the island. To get your dive vacation all the way, they offer they an extensive program of day excursions, cultural tours and activities to suit your need for adventure, activity, inspiration and connection with nature. So after a few days, stop by the reception to book the excursion for your last day.
Day 12 & 13 | Return home
Today you will check out of the resort in the morning and be transferred to the airport for your return trip home. Depending on your flight times and final destination, you can fly straight through to home. If you have a layover, you may spend an extra night in Jakarta or Singapore before traveling on. These stopovers offer the opportunity to briefly enjoy another city before starting your final leg. Whether you continue immediately or have an extra night’s stay, you will look back on an unforgettable Bali diving vacation.
