Ramayana Candidasa

The Resort & Setting

Ramayana Candidasa sits in Candidasa itself, right on Bali's eastern shoreline. Unlike the built-up resort strips of southern Bali, this stretch of coast has kept a slower, village pace — fishing boats pulled up on the sand, small warungs along the main road, and a sea view that doesn't come with crowds. As an independent timeshare property, Ramayana Candidasa isn't part of a global hotel brand; it's run on its own terms but linked into the RCI exchange network, so owners aren't limited to using their week only in Candidasa.

The Area and Things to Do

East Bali is the draw for anyone staying at Ramayana Candidasa. Candidasa Beach is a five-minute walk from the resort, good for an early stroll or watching the sun go down over the water. A short drive brings you to Tenganan Pegringsingan, one of Bali's oldest Bali Aga villages and known for its hand-woven double ikat textiles, and to Tirta Gangga, the former royal water palace with its tiered pools and gardens. Further out, Lempuyang Temple and Mount Agung reward the effort of getting there with some of the island's best views over rice terraces and coastline. For a quieter beach than Candidasa's own, Bukit Belong is worth the short trip for swimming and snorkelling. Hiring a driver or renting a scooter is the practical way to see all of this, since East Bali's attractions are spread out rather than clustered around a single tourist strip.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Ramayana Candidasa and are ready to move it on, or want to rent it out for a season, BidMyTimeshare.com lets you list it directly as a private resale or rental — you set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and no commission taken from your sale, so what you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

Because Ramayana Candidasa operates as an independent resort, any resale isn't processed through a large branded transfer programme — it goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee stands at, since these figures aren't fixed across resale platforms and can change from year to year. It's also worth asking the resort in writing exactly what passes to a resale buyer — the usage week, any RCI membership or points status, and whether the resort holds a right of first refusal over resale transactions.

For renters, the main appeal of a week here is the location: easy reach of Candidasa's beach and the cultural sites further inland, without the price and crowds of South Bali. Being upfront in your listing about the week or season you're offering, and whether it includes RCI exchange eligibility, helps renters know exactly what they're booking.

Practical Notes

Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar is roughly a 1.5-hour drive from Candidasa, so most guests arrive by pre-booked transfer or taxi rather than public transport. The dry season, April to October, brings the most reliable weather for beach days and day trips, while the wetter months from November to March bring fewer visitors and greener landscapes inland. Either way, a scooter or hired driver makes the outlying attractions — Tirta Gangga, Tenganan, Lempuyang — far easier to reach than trying to walk or rely on local transport.
