Hotels by Location | Bali | Tulamben Area

At the foot of Gunung Agung, Bali's highest active volcano, lies the coastal village of Tulamben. Tulamben village is famous as the home of the legendary wreck of the USAT Liberty, an American warship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine on January 11, 1942 in the strait of Lombok.

The wreck was damaged further by the eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963, which broke the vessel in half. The ship is now a major diving spot and home to an immense variety of fish that take refuge from the tides and currents in vessel's ghostly hull. Located only about 30 yards from shore, the wreck is easily accessible to strong swimmers, though the locals can take you there by jukung - multi-colored outrigger sailboats. 

Recently a number of large and small hotels have been built to take advantage of this unique and historical spot. Enjoy a meal of fresh grilled fish on the beach after a day in the sparkling ocean.


Mimpi Resort Tulamben
Like all the north coast villages, there are no lush rice fields here - Mt. Agung and the other mountains steal the rain, which comes from moisture-laden air that blows in from the south. Thus South Bali is the island's rice bowl.
What brings people to Tulamben however, is not visible from above water. People come here to dive and explore the fantastic underwater world of Tulamben Bay. The Mimpi Resort Tulamben is the ideal place to start the explorations.
