Melasti Beach: What You will Love About this New Favourite Spot

Are you a fan of beach tourism in Bali? Do you know the tourist attraction of Melasti Beach?

Melasti Beach is a beach in the southern part of the island of Bali and has become a popular tourist attraction to visit since 2020 after previously being under construction.

This time we invite you to get acquainted with this beach, who knows this beach will be your next favourite tourist destination.

Melasti Beach is one of the white sand beaches that has its own charm.

This is because this beach was once a hidden area behind a limestone hill, so it is hardly known by many people.

Where does the name Melasti Beach come from?

Generally, beach names in Bali are taken from the name of the region where the beach is located, for example, Kuta Beach or Sanur Beach. Although there are also those that are taken from certain historical events.

However, this beach has a slightly different history as it is named after a local custom.

The people in the area are generally Hindu and have a habit of performing a cleansing ceremony called Melasti.

Melasti is a ceremony that is often performed before Nyepi arrives. Generally, the Melasti ceremony is performed at a water source such as an ocean or lake.
