Description

The east coast has fewer visitors than the west and, for many guests, the better beaches. Diamond Beach and Atuh sit side by side under white cliffs, and the day ends inside Goa Giri Putri, a Hindu temple in a limestone cave.

The day

Your speedboat lands on the east side of the island, close to the beaches. Diamond Beach comes first: the view from the cliff, then the stairs cut into the rock down to the sand if you want them.

Atuh is next door, with its rock arch standing in the bay. Then the Thousand Islands viewpoint and lunch.

On the way back to the harbour we stop at Goa Giri Putri. A flight of steps leads to a narrow opening; you squeeze through, and the cave opens into a high chamber lit by lamps, with shrines along its length. Sarongs and sashes are provided, and a priest may offer a blessing.

Choosing your boat

Private speedboat: your own boat and skipper, on your schedule.
Fast boat, private car: reserved seats on a scheduled fast boat, with the same private car and guide on the island.

Before you book

The stairs at Diamond Beach and Atuh are steep; the cliff-top views need no stairs.
Entering Goa Giri Putri means crawling a few metres through the entrance. It is not for anyone uneasy in tight spaces, and we can skip it.
Temple custom asks women who are menstruating not to enter. Nobody will ask; we mention it so you can decide.
