There can be little argument that Bali offers visitors some of the most stunningly beautiful natural sites of any holiday destination in the world, and there are some locations in particular that take that beauty to another level. One of those is Nusa Penida which is a small island that is located to the southeast of Bali and is separated from it by the Badung Strait.
Whilst it is certainly possible for you to make Nusa Penida the place you stay for your entire holiday given that it has several excellent hotels, many holidaymakers instead choose to take one of the many shuttle boats that go between the island and Bali, where their accommodation is located. Whichever way you choose, one thing is guaranteed and that is that Nusa Pineda has plenty of awesomely beautiful locations to visit across its 81 square miles. Here are ten of them.
#1 – Peguyanan Waterfall
No trip to Bali is complete without a visit to at least one waterfall, so why not make it Peguyanan Waterfall on Nusa Penida? The colourful blue steps take you down to it, and when there, you can experience stunning cliff views. You can also visit an ancient temple nearby.
The lazily winding coastal paths around Nusa Lembongan invite you to take some time to explore the island on foot and discover just what it has to offer. Tranquil beaches like Dream Beach and Jungut Batu perfectly display the natural beauty. The stunning, clear blue water awaits you whether you’d love to surf or do some drift diving.
According to Kima Surf, Canggu is the perfect Bali location to enjoy surf camp. There are tons of surf spots on the island and one of the perks to surf camp is getting the opportunity to explore many of these places. But Canggu is a great place for beginners to get their wave on and learn the basics before heading into more difficult waters.
The loss of a number of restaurants in Batu Belig made news, but when Hotelier Indonesia reported on the opening of the Mozaic Beach Club in July 2012, people took notice, so it should be no surprise that its popularity continues to grow. Chef Chris Salans is the brain child behind Mozaic Beach Club.
Bali is home to some of the most rocking beaches in the world. Legendary for their either pale white sand or dark black ‘Volcanic’ sand – and native palm trees.
