Actually, many times people talk about "Amed", but are actually referring to one of the villages nearby, such as Lipah. So "Amed" is a really used as a general area description, much like "Lovina".
Amed and around is the driest part of Bali. What this means, during the summer months of June to September, it is particularly hot and dry. During the "wet / off season" in other parts of Bali, it is generally much nicer, weather wise. Amed is also very trendy. Not pretentious wise as parts of Seminyak can be. But very laid back and friendly. With almost hippy like dress seemingly popular. It has much the feel of many of the smaller hotel islands in Thailand.
