Pandawa Beach is located in Kutuh village, around 20 minutes drive from Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Jimbaran.
Badung regional administration seems to be serious in promoting Pandawa Beach as a new destination in the regency. Hundreds of palm trees have been planted on both sides of the main road to beautify the route. Pandawa Beach, overlooking the Indian Ocean, has astonishing natural beauty with hard-sand cliffs and crystal clear water. A number of new tourist facilities are being constructed on the way to the beach. Several plots of land are already being prepared by investors for various tourist-related projects.
The beach was named after the five Pandawa brothers (Yudhistira, Bima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sadewa) from the famous Indian epic, Mahabharata. On one side of the cliff are several statues portraying the five brothers. Unfortunately, it is very hard to distinguish which is Arjuna or Bima as the statues look very similar.
For those who are searching for a quiet, beautiful beach faraway from the crowded Kuta or Sanur beaches, Pandawa Beach may be your best choice.
