The Blooms Garden

Highland Colour and Cultural Touches

Set in the cool air of Candikuning, The Blooms Garden spreads over roughly 4.5 hectares of themed floral displays, sculptures and playful photo spots. Balinese motifs meet European-style planting — a towering Dewi Danu statue gazes toward Lake Beratan, while windmills spin in the ‘Dutch Garden’.

Visitors on Google in 2024 admired the vivid planting and spacious paths, noting lavender, sunflowers and trumpet flowers among the mix. Several found it quieter than other venues nearby, making for leisurely exploration and uncrowded photo sessions.

Paths, Peaks and Photo Ops

The hilly layout means a shuttle tour can save time and energy, though many prefer to wander on foot to catch every garden — the Peacock and Oval plots, heart-shaped gates in the Garden of Love, and playful miniatures from Marina Bay Sands to Barong topiary.

Families highlighted the playgrounds and occasional labyrinth maze; couples and solo travelers spoke of sunrise or drizzle lending an extra layer to the views.

Facilities and Extras

On-site you’ll find buffet lunches, a café, a gelato corner and a coffee garden serving Kopi Luwak. ATV rides, archery, outbound activities and fishing ponds appear in some listings. Accommodation at The Blooms Villa allows an overnight stay amid the blooms.

There’s parking, with small vehicle fees noted by visitors. Some mentioned charged washroom use, and food quality drew mixed opinions.

Practicalities and Price Points

Reported entrance fees vary: local adults IDR 15,000–20,000, local children IDR 10,000–15,000, foreign visitors around IDR 30,000–40,000, with some platforms showing higher bundles. Opening hours are generally 08:00–18:00, though several sources list slight variations.

The park lies about 4 km from Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and 2.3 km from Bali Botanic Garden. Most arrive by private car, scooter or as part of a Bedugul tour.

Visitor Perspectives

Praise for colour and upkeep is common, with many calling it photogenic and relaxed. Yet recurring criticisms include sparse shade, unclear signposting and the absence of plant labels — reviewers urged more gazebos, clearer directions and educational notes to match nearby gardens.

A few found the displays too artificial or the journey through hilly roads longer than promised. Timing your visit for cooler mornings or late afternoons helps avoid midday heat.

Verdict

Ideal for travellers combining Bedugul sights and seeking extensive, curated floral backdrops with cultural flavour, The Blooms Garden rewards a patient wander but suits best those who value visual spectacle over botanical depth.
