This Charming Seaside Village Offers Hints of Old Bali-and None of the Crowds
Briefly

Pererenan, a seaside neighborhood in Bali, distinguishes itself from the island's crowded hotspots by promoting sustainable tourism and community involvement. The local administration actively enforces rules to combat overdevelopment. Restaurants like Home by Chef Wayan and pop-ups such as Kilo Kitchen Pererenan showcase culinary innovation while integrating travelers into the local scene. New accommodations are designed to enrich the visitor experience with local culture. The area's growing popularity is seen positively by local entrepreneurs who anticipate a bright future as Pererenan balances tourism with tradition.
At first there wasn't much in the neighborhood besides some cafés by the beach.
Since then more businesses have arrived, including restaurants, spas, perfumeries, and ceramics shops.
The airy, art-filled suites feature products by partners Bar Vera, Jakarta-based perfumery Oaken Lab, and Australian surf shop Thomas Surfboards.
The area's newfound energy has been a pleasant surprise to Kresna Yasa, who remains optimistic about its future.
