Make Vincent's Candidasa the anchor of your Karangasem days
Vincent's Candidasa sits in Karangasem, so start with hotel prices and pick a base at Amed for diving or Sidemen for rice valleys. Then look at activity packages, since the Tulamben wreck dive and the Tirta Gangga water palace are easy to add to the trip. Finally, price a car: the dive coast, the temples and the rice valleys are a fair drive apart. The three links below go straight to each.
Vincent's has been a fixture in Candidasa for years, and it's earned that status by doing something few East Bali restaurants attempt, pairing a genuinely good international and Balinese menu with a proper music programme.
The live schedule is the differentiator: romantic piano on Mondays, livelier jazz sessions on Thursdays, and mellow piano again on Saturdays. Combined with the modern art on the walls and a garden setting, it makes for a more considered evening than the average East Bali dinner.
