Nuestro hotel favorito para parejas

El Alila Manggis es la mejor opción para una luna de miel cerca de Candidasa. Este hotel de 4 estrellas frente al mar, operado por Hyatt, está situado a las afueras de la ciudad, rodeado de exuberante bosque y naturaleza. Cuenta con una gran piscina con vistas a los jardines, palmeras ondeantes y el océano. El Alila ofrece un servicio de traslado gratuito al pueblo de Candidasa, así que no hay necesidad de andar organizando taxis todo el tiempo. Nos encanta que no sea un resort enorme; al final de la estancia, la mayoría del personal ya te conocerá.

En comparación con los resorts del sur de Bali, el Alila Manggis es sorprendentemente asequible para el lujo que ofrece. Hemos visto habitaciones por menos de 150 USD por noche. Consulta los precios actuales aquí.

Un cuento de fertilidad…

Candidasa es un destino popular para las parejas balinesas locales, ¡por una razón que podría sorprenderte! Existe un mito balinés que afirma que visitar el templo hindú junto a la laguna en Candidasa otorga fertilidad a las parejas. Se ha convertido en un destino de peregrinación entre las parejas locales, ya que cuenta con una estatua de la diosa de la fertilidad Hariti rodeada de sus 10 hijos.

En el antiguo cuento balinés, la diosa Hariti anhelaba tener una familia, pero se enfrentaba a la infertilidad. Conmovida por la oración de una pareja que pedía un hijo, sus lágrimas se transformaron en lluvia, bendiciéndolos con fertilidad. Al presenciar su alegría, la propia Hariti se volvió fértil, dando a luz a diez hijos en su primer embarazo. El templo donde ocurrió este milagro llegó a ser conocido como Candidas, combinando “Candi” (templo) y “Dasa” (diez), atrayendo a parejas esperanzadas que buscaban bendiciones de fertilidad a través de ofrendas.

Creas o no en esta historia, y planees o no formar una familia, la zona de la laguna es de todas formas un lugar hermoso y bastante romántico para visitar. El agua está cubierta de flores de loto y se encuentra directamente adyacente al océano.

Explora Candidasa

Candidasa se encuentra recostada sobre una colina en la costa este de Bali, con vistas al estrecho de Lombok, el mar que separa Bali y Lombok. En días despejados, podrás ver el volcán Rinjani hasta en Lombok. Alrededor de Candidasa encontrarás una naturaleza preciosa: verdes colinas, cascadas y también espectaculares playas de arena blanca que la mayoría de los turistas aún no han descubierto. Virgin Beach, conocida localmente como Pasir Putih, que significa playa de arena blanca, es nuestra favorita absoluta.

En cuanto a las cascadas: la cascada Jagasatru es una joya escondida que vale la pena visitar. Necesitarás un viaje en coche cuesta arriba, y desde allí es una pequeña caminata cuesta abajo hasta la cascada. Se te pide una pequeña donación a la comunidad local por la visita. También hay un pequeño santuario con una fuente de agua bendita en la zona. Los balineses se bañan bajo estas fuentes como parte de sus ceremonias de oración, y también permiten a los visitantes probarlo. Cerca de la cascada hay pequeños puestos de café desde donde tendrás excelentes vistas de las colinas y el océano circundantes.

Si las playas y cascadas no son razón suficiente para alojarse en Candidasa, ¡afortunadamente también hay cultura e historia por descubrir! Candidasa forma parte de la región de Karangasem en Bali, conocida por sus antiguos palacios acuáticos y templos, que datan de la época de los reinos locales. El más famoso es Tirta Gangga, que se encuentra a menos de media hora en coche al norte de la ciudad.

Hoteles ideales para parejas en Candidasa

A continuación, nuestras sugerencias de lugares para alojarse en Candidasa. La mayoría están frente a la playa y son de 4 estrellas.
