Nusa Lembongan is a small island off the coast of Bali. The shift in atmosphere is immediate — less traffic, more space, more quiet than you tend to find on the main island.
Across just eight square kilometres, the island packs everything in: from the serene Mushroom Beach, where boats sway lazily on water as smooth as a mirror, to the raw power of Devil's Tears, where the ocean slams into the cliffs and shatters into millions of salty droplets.
The easiest way to get here is the fast boat from Bali — daily departures from Sanur. Tickets are booked online, with confirmation sent straight to your email.
Once you're on the island, heading inland uncovers not only hidden beaches like Dream Beach, but also a striking underground world — the labyrinths of the Gala-Gala Underground House, carved straight into the limestone.Lembongan is the kind of place you can explore in a couple of days, but the sense of freedom you find here Once you're on the island, heading inland uncovers not only hidden beaches like Dream Beach, but also a striking underground world — the labyrinths of the Gala-Gala Underground House, carved straight into the limestone.
