Bali’s island neighbour is waiting — explore the beauty of Nusa Lembongan with local tips and easy help from The Lembongan Traveller.
Just 30 minutes from the busy shores of Bali, you’ll find a beautiful island that still feels like the Bali of years ago — Nusa Lembongan, which is known for its clear blue waters, relaxed village atmosphere, and stunning coastal views. Whether you want to spend your days relaxing on the beach, exploring the ocean, or just escaping the crowds and traffic, Nusa Lembongan has it all.
Why Nusa Lembongan Should Be on Your Travel List
If you haven’t made the short hop across the Badung Strait from Bali to Nusa Lembongan yet, you’re missing out on one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets. Here’s why:
- A Quick, Scenic Boat Ride Away: Getting to Nusa Lembongan is refreshingly easy. A 30-minute boat ride from Sanur will have you arriving at the island’s shores, where time seems to slow and life moves at a gentler pace. It’s close enough for a day trip.
- Beaches for Every Kind of Traveller: The island is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and soft sandy beaches. Families love the calm shallows of Jungut Batu and Mushroom Bay, while adventurous souls can head to Dream Beach for its dramatic cliff views. Meanwhile, the iconic Yellow bridge connecting Nusa Lembongan to neighbouring Nusa Ceningan makes for a perfect day of exploring secret beaches and cliffside swings.
- A Taste of Old Bali: Unlike mainland Bali, which can feel crowded, Nusa Lembongan retains a laid-back, traditional charm. Think quiet streets with no traffic, smiling locals, and sunset views you’ll never forget. It’s the kind of place where you hop on a scooter, wind in your hair, and discover untouched corners of the island at your own pace.
- Accommodation for Every Budget and Style: From backpacker-friendly bungalows to luxurious oceanfront villas, Nusa Lembongan offers an impressive range of accommodation. Whether you’re after a romantic retreat, a family holiday, or a group getaway, there’s something for everyone.
