About Nusa Lembongan
Located just a thirty-minute speedboat voyage across the Badung Strait, Nusa Lembongan is a barefoot island sanctuary where time slows to the rhythm of ocean tides. Fringed by crystal-clear turquoise lagoons, coral gardens, and working seaweed farms, this compact paradise is celebrated for world-class drift diving, snorkeling with manta rays, and laid-back scooter exploration.
From the panoramic clifftop vantage of Devil’s Tear to the serene, mangrove-lined channels of Jungutbatu, Lembongan delivers classic castaway charm. Days are spent exploring secret coves like Dream Beach and Mushroom Bay, followed by sunset cocktails at cliffside ocean clubs overlooking the silhouette of Bali’s sacred Mount Agung.
