Neighbourhood Guide
Until recently, Pererenan counted among Bali’s best-kept secrets. Not far from Petitenget and Seminyak yet on its own wavelength entirely, the village Further calls home embodies the Bali of old, its lush natural beauty matched only by the smiles of locals. Of course, secrets this good never stay hidden forever. Over the past few years, our laid-back seaside village has awakened as a destination for artists, pro surfers, and free spirits. Now on the cusp of coming into its own, its evolution is being gently guided by a community of locals and long-time expats offering thrilling opportunities for rejuvenation, and revelling. Here we share some of our favourites that might become yours, too.
