Less crowded. More authentic. Just as breathtaking. Just across the narrow strait from Bali lies Banyuwangi, a destination many international travelers have never heard of, yet it offers landscapes just as stunning. Located in East Java, Banyuwangi is only a short ferry ride from Bali, but the atmosphere feels completely different. Fewer crowds, untouched nature, and a slower pace of life make it the perfect escape for travelers seeking a more authentic Indonesian experience. From volcanic craters and wild savannas to pristine beaches and lush forests, Banyuwangi proves that you don’t have to go far from Bali to discover something truly special, you just need to cross the water.
