About Nusa Lembongan
Nusa Lembongan, a small island southeast of Bali, is a tropical gem with turquoise waters, spectacular cliffs, and a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of Bali from decades past. The fast boat ride from Sanur takes only 30 minutes and leads to a completely different world — no traffic, no noise, just the sound of the sea and birdsong. The yellow bridge connects Nusa Lembongan with the neighboring island of Nusa Ceningan and has become a popular photo spot in its own right. On Ceningan, the Blue Lagoon Cliff Jump attracts adventure seekers, while the Secret Beach invites swimming in a hidden bay. Dream Beach on Lembongan itself is a postcard beach with white sand between dramatic limestone cliffs — however, it has strong currents that are more suitable for sunbathing than swimming. The waters around the island offer top-notch diving and snorkeling: At Crystal Bay, you can encounter the rare sunfish (Mola Mola) between July and October, while manta rays can be observed year-round at the cleaning stations off Nusa Penida. The traditional seaweed farm is an important economic sector — at low tide, you can see farmers working in the turquoise fields. Mangrove tours by kayak, surf sessions at Shipwrecks Point, and sunsets from the edge of Devil’s Tear cliffs complete the island experience.
