Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026

The Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 runs from 27 to 29 November 2026 in Pemuteran village, Buleleng Regency, on Bali's quiet north-west coast. The three-day eco-tourism festival mixes music, local food, yoga sessions, talk shows and coral reef conservation workshops. Indonesia's official tourism portal lists it as free to attend, making it a good fit for divers, nature lovers and families looking beyond south Bali.

About Pemuteran Bay Festival

Pemuteran is known for its community-led coral restoration work, and Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism says the village has received many national and international awards for it. The festival was created to show that commitment to conservation and to local culture, while giving visitors a way to enjoy the area with the community rather than simply passing through.

The official listing mentions music performances, local culinary showcases, yoga sessions, talk shows and coral reef conservation workshops. The calm bay, house reefs and nearby Menjangan Island in West Bali National Park make the area a favourite with snorkellers and divers. More details are on the official festival website.

Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 dates and venue

The Pemuteran Bay Festival 2026 dates are Friday 27 November to Sunday 29 November 2026. Activities take place in and around Pemuteran village and its beachfront in Buleleng Regency. The official tourism portal gives the ticket price as free, so no advance Pemuteran Bay Festival tickets should be needed for the main programme.

How to get to Pemuteran for Pemuteran Bay Festival

Most visitors fly into I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in south Bali and continue overland to the north-west coast by private car or pre-booked transfer. The drive crosses the island, so it is worth planning a stop in the highlands or at Bedugul on the way. Travellers coming from Java can also reach west Bali by ferry to Gilimanuk and then drive east along the coast.

For a trip to Pemuteran for Pemuteran Bay Festival, agencies should allow a full travel day on arrival and departure rather than tight same-day connections.

Where to stay

Pemuteran has a good spread of beach resorts, dive lodges and small guesthouses along the bay, and nearby Banyuwedang and Lovina offer more choice. Because the village is small and the festival draws visitors from across Bali, rooms close to the beach fill up early, so book early for late November. Lovina, further east, suits travellers who want more restaurants and a livelier evening scene.

Planning a group trip to Pemuteran Bay Festival

A group tour to Pemuteran Bay Festival pairs well with snorkelling or diving at Menjangan Island, a visit to West Bali National Park and a stop at the hot springs of Banjar on the way back. For school groups and families, the conservation workshops add a learning element. For groups from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Gulf, agencies can build a north Bali loop: Ubud, the Bedugul lakes, Pemuteran for the festival, then Lovina. Ask local operators about group sizes for reef activities, as these are often limited to protect the coral.
