About Amed
Amed is a fishing village on the east coast of Bali. It was once Bali’s main salt production area, but today, it’s a favourite destination among divers and snorkelers. The sea has excellent visibility and is home to some of the richest marine life on the island.
In Amed, you’ll find most of Bali’s dive centres and resorts, offering everything from fun dives for beginners to advanced PADI courses.
Amed is also a great starting point for exploring the wider Karangasem Regency which sits in the shadows of Mount Agung, Bali’s largest volcano.

Where to Go for Food and Drinks in Seminyak
Part of that action includes Seminyak’s unrivalled selection of restaurants.
If you’re a foodie, you’ll be in your element. There’s even a road nicknamed “Eat Street!” Otherwise known as Jalan Kayu Aya, you’ll find bijou cafes, specialty steak restaurants, and sea-view seafood eateries among the offerings here.
And as the venues here are of international standard, you’ll have no problem finding vegan, gluten-free, or allergen-friendly options.
Coffee shops are another Seminyak strong point.
From speciality brew shops to tropical-feel cafes perfect for working in, fans of café culture are spoiled for choice. A few places roast their beans in-house and most offer vegan ‘mylks’ as standard. You could spend a whole day exploring the amazing coffee scene here.
