By the SiapPergi Editorial Team · Published · 7 min read
Amed is a fishing village on Bali's east coast, famous for snorkelling and views of Mount Agung. From Sanur, the scooter ride to Amed passes some of east Bali's best sights. Here is the route, likely timings and tips for a comfortable trip.
Route summary
| Segment | Approx. distance | Stops |
|---|---|---|
| Sanur → Klungkung (Ida Bagus Mantra bypass) | ± 35 km | Kerta Gosa, Semarapura |
| Klungkung → Candidasa | ± 25 km | Padang Bai, Virgin Beach |
| Candidasa → Amlapura | ± 15 km | Taman Ujung |
| Amlapura → Amed | ± 20 km | Tirta Gangga |
These figures are estimates. The Amlapura–Amed stretch winds and climbs, so it can take longer than the distance suggests.
Trip tips
- Leave at 07:00–08:00 to beat the heat and stop at a relaxed pace.
- The Ida Bagus Mantra bypass is wide and fast; stay left because of the trucks.
- After Amlapura the road narrows and winds; slow down on blind bends.
- Bring a light jacket: the east coast breeze feels cool in the morning and evening.
Which scooter suits it
Two-up with backpacks, choose an NMAX or PCX. Solo with light luggage, a Vario 125 or 160 is enough. Destination info is in scooter rental in Amed & Karangasem and Candidasa & Padangbai.
Fill up in Klungkung or Amlapura. Along the Amed coast there are only roadside bottled-petrol sellers.
