About This Destination

Mawun Beach is an enchanting, almost symmetrical horseshoe-shaped bay located between Selong Belanak and Kuta. Guarded on both sides by prominent green conical hills, the bay forms an amphitheater of calm waters near the edges and thrilling deeper swimming in the center. It remains one of the south coast's best-kept secrets for travelers seeking peace away from beach bars.

Key Highlights & Activities

Distinctive horseshoe-shaped enclosed bay flanked by green mountain headlands
Dramatic gradient of sea colors from neon turquoise to deep sapphire blue
Soft blonde sand and gentle sea breeze under solitary shade trees
Less crowded and commercialized than Kuta center

Good to Know & Travel AdviceThe sea drops off into deep water fairly quickly in the middle of the bay—swimmers should stay attentive to currents. • The edges near the flanking headlands offer the calmest, shallowest swimming waters. • Grab a fresh young coconut and freshly grilled corn from the local beach stalls.
