Local Shopping

The Indonesian "warung" is the local shop, (also called a "Toko"). It is also the local meeting place where you will often see locals sitting smoking and just chilling out.
We encourage you to buy your beer and supplies from there - you will become their best friend.

Local Restaurant

Next door to the local Warung is the new cafe, opened mid 2025.
The menu is Balinese / European which is attractive to locals and ex-pats living in Dencarik.
However it obviously relies on tourists renting a villa in Dencarik.
With your assistance and patronage I'm sure it can survive.

Jalan jalan (a short walk)

You have arrived at the beach after a nice quiet walk from the villa approximately 400 meters.
The structure you see in the distance is very sacred to the local Balinese, so please be respectful. Adhi will explain its usage.
