The name of the villa means "House for a King" and the background for this lies in the history of Lovina Beach. In the early 1950s the last raja (king) of Buleleng North Bali, Anak Agung Pandji Tisna, visited the beach area west of Singaraja. Pandji Tisna was very impressed when he saw the beauty of this beach area and he decided to build a place to relax on this beach, for he intended to revisit the area regularly. The place he built consisted of a house with a restaurant including three rooms where guests could stay the night. The opening of his beach house, which Pandji Tisna called "Lovina" - was in 1953. Today this beach house does not exist anymore, however its location used to be just west of the Dolphin statue at Binaria Square.
Banks are nominally open from 8 am to 2 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. The nearest bank branch is in Singaraja. Several ATM’s are in Lovina, 10 minutes’ drive from the villa.
Lovina beach is only 10 minutes drive from the villa. Full day, unlimited shuttle service to Lovina can be provided at an extra cost of USD 20 per day.
The Balinese take all their ceremonies very seriously. They are delighted if you join them, but there are certain facts that you as a visitor should consider; and our villa staff will be delighted to inform about them. There is a book placed in the living room cabinet (My Life in Bali) that will also provide you with an insight to the Balinese Hindu culture.
Please contact pour friendly staff, who will assist in guiding you in case of emergency or general doctor service requirements.
You will find local souvenir shops in the Lovina area, as well as a range of smaller grocery stores and supermarkets. Pepito Supermarket, approx. 2 km after turning east on the main Lovina road, has a large selection of local and western fresh and prepared foods, as well as general; groceries and drinks. Singaraja has a larger selection of shops; however north Bali does not offer department store shopping at this point in time.
