Mimpi Resort MejanganUS$100 for a room up to US$350 for the largest one-bedroom villa
The name is confusing as this five-star hotel is not on Menjangan, but 3 km up the coast from the boat transit point on the mainland at Labuan Lalang. 54 rooms and top quality facilities including a pool fed by natural hot springs. As nice as it is, for a similar price it is hard to imagine why anyone would choose this option ahead of the Waka Shorea.

UnderstandWest Bali National Park is the most north-westerly point of Bali. It includes the whole of the Prapat Agung Peninsula, and large swathes of land around the towns of Gilimanuk, Cekik and Banyuwedang.

Get inMost visitors to the park arrive along the north coast road from Lovina (about 90 minutes) or Pemuteran (about 15 minutes). Others come from the south via Gilimanuk (about 15 minutes)

Fees and permitsPermits and obligatory guides are available at the park headquarters at Cekik and the office at Labuhan Lalang and Banywedang (near Mimpi hotel).

Get aroundOnly a small portion of the park is open to visitors, and this rule must be respected. There are two key ways to explore the park: either hiking the trails or concentrating on marine aspects.

See and doThe official park trails should be explored with a guide recommended by the national park office. This is actually a rule but it is sometimes 'quietly' ignored.

BuyThis region of Bali is not particularly known for its shopping.

EatAside from the Waka Shorea luxury resort there is nowhere to eat inside the national park, so bring food in with you.

DrinkThere is nowhere inside the national park to purchase any drinks, including water. Bring in ample water with you.

SleepThere is one official high end resort inside the boundaries of the national park on the Prapat Agung peninsula. There is no other accommodation inside the park.

Stay safeBring plenty of water with you as you will dehydrate quickly. If you're planning to dive, be sure to choose a certified and insured diving operator as there are a lot of cowboy centers in the area.
