Info about the best restaurants in and around Bingin

Our brand new surf hotel is right in the center of Bingin, one of the coolest little surf villages in Bali. Until a few years ago Bingin was barely known outside of the surf community, but in recent years the secret is out; that Bingin is very special indeed.  Complete with a stunning white sand beach and waves for surfers of all abilities, it now has an ever-expanding choice of restaurants to enjoy.

Below, we’ve highlighted some of the best places to visit for food whilst you are in the Bingin area.

RESTAURANTS IN AND AROUND BINGIN

Until a few years ago, there was only the choice of a few local restaurants in the Bingin / Uluwatu area, mostly serving local Indonesian dishes (which are delicious by the way). 

These days there are new restaurants popping up all the time in our area and dining options are superb, to suit all budgets and food desires.  Below you will find some of our favorites.  The approximate price ranges we have given as a guide only and are per person (not including alcoholic drinks).

We haven’t included every place you can eat in the list below.  For example, down on Bingin Beach, there are many locally-owned ‘Warungs’ (that’s the name for a restaurant in Bali) where you can order simple, cheap Balinese dishes such as Nasi (rice) Goreng (fried) or Mee (noodles) Goreng for a couple of dollars.

SURFING ETIQUETTE: THE RULES FOR SURFING

SURFING ETIQUETTE: THE RULES (Or what to do and what not to do) When you decide to learn to surf, you are not only beginning a new sport.  The nature of surfing is not only about the physical activity of catching waves, it’s a culture, a lifestyle and for most of us surfers, it’s an obsession.   As surfing becomes ever more popular, surf breaks become busier and therefore, the ‘etiquette’ of surfing more important still.  Knowing about surf etiquette and how it works will keep you safe, prevent you from being involved in a “surf rage” incident and will almost

BALI SURF SEASON

Thinking about a surf trip to Bali? If so, there are 2 important questions to ask yourself before going: 1- Where should you go in Bali? 2- When should you go to Bali? To answer the first question: we chose the south of Bali, the Bukit Peninsula for very good reasons.  For 8 or 9 months each year we are surrounded by Bali’s best waves; not just for expert surfers, but also for intermediate surfers and also for people who have never surfed before.  We are located in the surf town of Bingin, with surf spots like Bingin, Impossibles, Dreamland,

SURFING BALANGAN

SURFING BALANGAN   A surfing guide to surfing Balangan Balangan is one of Bali’s iconic left-hand reef breaks that doesn’t get as much attention as it’s more famous siblings like Bingin, Padang Padang and Uluwatu.
