Things to Know Before Visiting Bukit Cinta

Where is Bukit Cinta

Bukit Cinta is located in Eastern Bali. It’s around a 2 hours drive from Ubud and 2.5 hours from Canggu.

The closest tourist hub to Bukit Cinta is Amed. Amed isn’t as popular Canggu and Ubud; however, it happens to be one of our favourite spots on the island.

Amed is famous for it’s epic diving and snorkelling opportunities and beautiful black sand beaches. It’s a super chill place to stay for a few days and just 20km away from Bukit Cinta.

Best Time to Visit Bukit Cinta

While you will find a stunning view at any time of day, we highly recommend visiting Bukit Cinta for sunrise.

It’s always a gamble whether or not the clouds will get in the way of the view. But if you’re lucky, it will be a sunrise you’ll never forget.

We were unlucky on our first trip to Bukit Cinta; however, struck the Jackpot on our second.

I can honestly say it was one of the most spectacular views we’ve ever encountered, so if you’re wondering if it’s worth the hype, it is!

Our Experience at Bukit Cinta Bali

Tired, cold, and overzealous, we set off on our second sunrise mission to Bukit Cinta Mount Agung Viewpoint.

The previous morning had not been a success, with the view of Mount Agung obstructed by a cloak of clouds. So after extending our stay in Amed to give it another attempt, we were hoping for the best.

As we followed the road out of Amed, the sky was clear. It was a promising start and made us feel slightly better about our second 5 am start in 2-days.

Once you’ve left the small town of Amed, this area of Bali isn’t very developed. The road winds through a lush jungle area where the morning mist creates an eerie scene.

As we weaved through the crisp, dank air, we were grateful for having wrapped up in warm clothes.

It’s a bizarre experience driving in Bali at this time of the morning. During the day, cars and bikes flood the roads, drowning out all serenity.

In the early hours, however, the island is calm and still. It’s when you can appreciate the tranquillity that Bali is ultimately all about.

The morning greeted its first trace of light as we pulled up at the mount Agung Viewpoint.

With a cloak of clouds dominating the view, it seemed that we were to experience a repeat of our previous morning.

Before long, though the sun began to rise from behind us, and the clouds parted ways.

The sky transformed into a heavenly combination of pink and orange hues, and we were met with one of the best views of our lives.

If you are to experience only one sunrise during your time in Bali, let it be this one.
