Nusa Lembongan
Your complete guide to living and staying in Nusa Lembongan, Bali.
Overview
Nusa Lembongan is a small island between Bali and Nusa Penida, connected to the even smaller Nusa Ceningan by a yellow bridge. It offers excellent snorkelling, diving, and a laid-back island atmosphere that feels miles from the mainland bustle.
Vibe
Relaxed, small-scale, and community-oriented. Nusa Lembongan has a village feel with a handful of beach bars, dive shops, and restaurants. There are no cars on the island, just motorbikes and golf carts. It is perfect for disconnecting.
Best For
Snorkellers, divers, couples on a quiet getaway, and anyone who wants a few days of island life without flying to a remote destination. The mangrove forests and seaweed farms add to the charm.
Average Costs
Accommodation ranges from budget bungalows (200-500K IDR/night) to mid-range villas (1-3M IDR/night). Limited long-term rental options. Dining is affordable with most meals under 80K IDR.
Top Spots
Dream Beach, Mushroom Bay, Devil's Tear (dramatic wave action against rocks), the Yellow Bridge to Nusa Ceningan, and the mangrove forest boardwalk. Diving at the Blue Corner and Crystal Bay is world-class.
Getting Around
The island is small enough to explore by motorbike in a few hours. No cars. Rent a scooter or walk between the main areas. Fast boats from Sanur take about 30 minutes.
