Dreamland Beach anymore that now has a new baptized name : New Kuta Beach. Located on the Bukit Peninsula, Bali – only 10 minutes motorbike drive from my Jimbaran house, Dreamland Beach was once spotted and found by some western surfers back in the 70’s. They’re the ones who love to discover the hidden beauty of the island, to find great surfing spots even locals didn’t know about. The beach provided basic accommodations (really basic in a hut shape, local style bath room, no aircon, just a hammock and magnificent ocean view) and cafes for surfers and day trippers. One of the most beautiful beaches on the island, it is also renowned for its dangerous shorebreak.

Yes, it used to be some good looking tanned skin italiano girls and surfers who came to this place. Sometimes, we’re the only locals wearing full cloths among the sun bathers. To get to the beach (no pain no gain, in finding beautiful hidden beaches in Bali!), you have to hike down a narrow stairs, and on the last couple of stairs, usually Ibu Wayan from Surya Cafe would greet me and she’s the only parasol hire and warung owner I love to chat with.

To get your way back, you need the strong legs and the right breathing technique (my husband, Benny is a marathon runner and a mountain climber, he didn’t seem to lose his breath walking back the crazy stairs!)

And today, the new investor has ‘darely’ changed Dreamland into NEW KUTA BEACH with a golf course, a condotel operated by Best Western, and this what made me upset the most! To get to the beach you have to access it through KLAPA

Now those glowing topless skin of italian girls and gorgeous surfers have gone, they’ve probably moved to another deserted beach I know where :), Dreamland.
It is no longer a dream. It is a game-changing reality, at least that’s what the KLAPA owner is proud of. The place is also designated for some tourists who are willing to pay overly priced food and beverage
