Nusa Lembongan is 20 kilometers off Bali’s East Coast across the Badung strait. It is a magnificent small island, of around 9 square kms in area, with a local population less than 4,000.
The water is crystal clear which makes for excellent snorkeling and the local hotel staff will show you the best locations. With relatively few visitors on the island surfers can enjoy un-crowded breaks on both Lembongan and also Nusa Ceningan, which can be reached across a newly built bridge.

According to Evangelia Praresti who currently live in Australia said:
“Nusa Lembongan is a must visit for those who went to Bali. The beach is very beautiful and a great place to do snorkeling. The water is very clear and was not as crowded as Kuta or other tourists area in Bali. You can book a day trip to Nusa Lembongan from Kuta or even stay overnight in at Nusa Lembongan resort is one of the best. The price of the room start from $140 for double.”

“Guests may take part in guided tours around the island, which features a number of local attractions, from an ancient dwelling constructed below ground to a thriving seaweed farming industry which has created employment for the island’s small population. Mountain bikes are available for guests wishing to explore at their leisure, and there are trails suitable for walking around the island. The waters around Nusa Lembongan are noted for the rich diversity of marine life and the bay provides the perfect starting point for canoeing, snorkeling, diving, surfing or fishing trips.
