Nusa Lembongan

Nusa Lembongan

30 min by fast boat from Sanur

A small, laid-back island just off Bali's southeast coast, Nusa Lembongan offers the perfect blend of tropical beauty and easy-going island vibes without the overwhelming crowds. Its turquoise waters, mangrove forests, and seaweed farms paint a picture of a simpler, slower life — yet the island still delivers world-class surfing at Playgrounds and Lacerations, plus the spectacular Devil's Tears blowhole where ocean swells explode against jagged cliffs in rainbow-misted sprays. The island is small enough to explore by scooter in a day, with charming beachfront warungs and sunset viewpoints around every corner. Nusa Lembongan strikes the ideal balance between accessible comfort and authentic island charm.
