South-east of Bali, Indonesia – approximately 12 kilometres, is the Nusa Lembongan island, with an area of approximately 8 square kilometres. The Nusa Lembongan island is part of the group of three islands, which make up the Nusa Penida district.
Nusa Lembongan island is your ideal escape from the hustle-bustle of South Bali. Look out for gorgeous scenery, amazing sunsets, secluded and serene ambience, and pristine white sand beaches. Feel the breeze in your hair when you gaze at the crystal clear aqua blue ocean waters, and explore impressive coastal cliffs sides. There are many activities you can try out like swimming, scuba diving and snorkelling.
While you could charter a helicopter, for Nusa Lembongan, a 30-minute boat ride from Sanur or Padang Bai, is the most preferred way to reach the island.
You could enjoy leisurely walks at Nusa Lembongan, with its coastal paths that link guest houses, hotels and restaurants. These coastal paths offer great scenic views along the island’s coastline, including spectacular sunsets and views across the ocean to Bali. Should you want a change of scene, you could cross over to the neighbouring island, Nusa Ceningan, via the quaint yellow suspension bridge, which carries only two-wheelers and pedestrians.
Nusa Lembongan is truly blessed with some lovely spots to visit-
There two main beaches in Nusa Lembongan most frequented by visitors. JungutBatu Beach, on the northern coast is one of them; the other is Mushroom Bay. JungutBatu is the bigger of the two beaches.
