Juwuk Manis Waterfall

Around 25–30 minutes by scooter or car from Dikaloha Surfcamp, located inland in Jembrana Regency, surrounded by hills and tropical forest.

A Hidden Twin Waterfall Deep in West Bali

Tucked away in the quiet hills east of Medewi lies Juwuk Manis Waterfall — a tranquil twin cascade that feels untouched by time.

The name Juwuk Manis means “sweet fruit” in Balinese, a fitting symbol for the refreshing beauty that awaits those who make the short trek down to the falls.

This hidden gem is one of West Bali’s best-kept secrets, rarely crowded, and known mostly by locals. The air is fresh, the forest is alive with birdsong, and the soft rush of water instantly washes away any stress.

Visitors often describe it as a “mini adventure” — peaceful, refreshing, and deeply rewarding.

The Journey There

The adventure begins with a scenic ride from Medewi, passing through rice terraces, small temples, and sleepy villages. Once you reach the entrance, it’s a short 10–15 minute walk down a paved trail and a series of stone steps.

The descent is easy enough for most visitors, and the path winds through bamboo groves and lush tropical plants. The closer you get, the louder the sound of falling water — until you finally see the two streams cascading down the mossy rocks into a shallow pool below.

The natural pool at the base is perfect for a quick swim or simply dipping your feet in the cool mountain water. It’s also an excellent photo spot, framed by greenery and dappled sunlight.

Why Visit Juwuk Manis

Unlike Bali’s famous waterfalls in the north, Juwuk Manis remains peaceful and uncrowded. There are no ticket lines, loud music, or souvenir stalls — just nature in its purest form.

It’s the kind of place that feels like your own secret discovery, where you can sit quietly, breathe deeply, and listen to the rhythm of the forest.

For surfers staying at Dikaloha, it’s the perfect contrast to the ocean — trading waves for waterfalls, salt for fresh water, and adrenaline for stillness.

Tips for Visitors

• Getting there: 25–30 minutes from Dikaloha; roads are mostly paved and scenic.
• Best time: Morning or midday for good light and fewer visitors.
• Bring: Comfortable shoes, swimwear, towel, and drinking water.
• Facilities: Minimal — there are small local stalls selling snacks and drinks near the entrance.
• Safety: The path can be slippery after rain; walk carefully and wear good footwear.
• Combine with: A countryside scooter ride or visit to Bunut Bolong Tree for a complete nature day trip.

Why You’ll Love It

Juwuk Manis Waterfall is pure Bali magic — peaceful, green, and soul-soothing.

It’s not just a spot to see; it’s a place to feel. The sound of the falls, the chill of the mountain water, and the sight of sunlight dancing through the forest make it a perfect escape from the surf for a few quiet hours of connection with nature.
