Nusa Lembongan is a small holiday island destination 20 km off the southeast coast of mainland Bali. You can reach it with a 45-minute boat ride from Sanur Beach or Benoa Harbour. It’s a lot quieter than the south of Bali, making it a great place to go for a quiet, relaxing break.
Often referred to as ‘Lembongan’ for short, the island is the most popular destination among the group of 3 islands, the other 2 being Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. Great reefs and wave breaks also make it a favourite among divers and surfers, and the water is among the clearest you’ll find anywhere around Bali.
