New Tourist Attraction in Singaraja Set to Highlight North Bali’s Heritage Identity
North Bali’s Singaraja is soon to welcome a new public landmark, the Singaraja Zero Point Area, designed to showcase the region’s rich cultural heritage and provide an engaging space for both locals and visitors. The project aims to boost Singaraja’s profile as a destination beyond its well-known natural attractions.
The Singaraja Zero Point Area will be developed around Tugu Singa Ambara Raja, a central landmark often referred to as Singaraja’s "zero point." This space is envisioned as a civic hub, tourist attraction, and community gathering place. The development will feature two main buildings: the Laksmi Graha Building, which will support activities coordinated by Buleleng Regency’s Family Welfare Movement, and a gallery building dedicated to meetings and shared exhibitions.
In addition to these structures, the site will include a heritage-style streetscape adjacent to the existing Garuda statue, already a prominent city landmark. The aim is to create a vibrant environment where local businesses can thrive while visitors gain deeper insight into Singaraja’s unique history.
Singaraja holds a distinctive place in Bali’s past as its former colonial capital, lending the city a different character compared to the southern parts of the island. Its landscape includes historic civic buildings and a trading legacy that contributes to a more authentic, lived-in atmosphere.
Scheduled for completion by July 12, 2026, the new Zero Point Area is part of a broader effort to preserve and spotlight Singaraja’s heritage rather than rendering it just a transit point for travellers.
Beyond this new attraction, North Bali offers travelers natural retreats away from crowded southern destinations. Highlights include Sekumpul Waterfall, considered one of Bali’s tallest and most dramatic cascades; the lush rainforest trails and rice terraces of Munduk; and the coastal town of Lovina, known for early morning dolphin-watching excursions.
This development marks a significant step in enriching North Bali’s tourism offerings while honoring its historical and cultural roots. Visitors are encouraged to check official updates closer to the opening date for more information.
