Pandawa Beach Bali – In addition to Yogyakarta, the island of Bali is also known to have very beautiful beach tours.
The island of Bali does have many enchanting beaches, let’s call it Kuta Beach which is the heart of tourism on the island of Bali.
In addition to Kuta Beach, one of the tourist destinations that attracts the attention of many travelers is Pandawa Beach Bali.
A beautiful beach that we will discuss in this article.
This tourist destination located in the Kuta area is often used as an alternative for those who don’t like the atmosphere of a crowded beach, such as Kuta Beach for example.
Because of its hidden location, it is not surprising that the name of Pandawa Beach Bali is “Secret Beach“.
Get to know Pandawa Beach Bali
Unlike most other beach tours that are deliberately played in such a way as to attract visitors, Pandawa Beach Bali was even “forced” to open to the public because of the large demand for visitors.
The history of Pandawa Beach Bali begins with the function of this destination as a place to carry out the Melasti ceremony.
This ceremony is a kind of self-purification ritual for Hindus in preparation for Nyepi Day.
For this reason, people around call this place as Melasti Beach.
In addition to religious rituals, Pandawa Beach Bali is also often used as a seaweed breeding field.
To be able to reach Pandawa Beach, the surrounding community must try extra hard.
They must be willing to walk at least 4 km, along steep roads and up and down cliffs to be able to carry out rituals in this place.
So remote, no one knows the existence of this beach other than the surrounding community.
Until one day, some foreign tourists who wanted to find a more private place to surf began to penetrate into this destination located in South Bali.
Of course, information about the location of Pandawa Beach Bali can be obtained not from tourist attraction review sites or hotel booking sites, but by word of mouth.
They love Surfing here because they rate the waves as good.
Because they don’t know the exact name and the public is also confused about what the original name of this beach is, the tourists also call it “Secret Beach“.
In 2004 when the number of visitors was already more, the access road had begun to be built, but it was not completely perfect.
Visitors are no longer foreign tourists, but domestic tourists as well.
In 2010, the number of visitors was increasing.
This makes the village prajuru (the party who holds the authority in the village) start to take steps.
They plan to open this destination into a tourist area.
Finally, on December 27, 2012, Melasti Beach was designated as a tourist area.
Because Melasti is only a nickname, another more appropriate name was sought, namely Pandawa Beach Bali.
As a promotional event, the management also held a festival called Pandawa Beach Festival in 2012.
Why choose the name Pandavas?
Because in the Mahabharata, it is said that the Pandava Family who came from the royal family had lost the fight and was caught by the Enemy.
But they managed to escape to the forest by digging a secret road and working hard to build their strength again in the forest.
With the spirit of togetherness between the family and the surrounding community, they finally succeeded in building their own kingdom called Amertha. The people can also live a prosperous life.
The people of Kutuh Village consider that there are similarities between the Pandava story and the history of Bali’s Pandawa Beach. For this reason, the name was chosen.
