Nusa Penida

The hidden treasure of Indonesia, Nusa Penida is the most exotic of the three Nusa Islands and is relatively less traveled. Located in the Klungkung district, it is a little off the shores of Bali. It is a hidden gem boasting rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and breathtaking natural beauty. Catering to adventurers and nature enthusiasts, Nusa Penida offers a serene escape from the bustling tourist spots of Bali.

Nusa Penida is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, jaw-dropping viewpoints, and crystal-clear waters. Kelingking Beach, with its iconic T-Rex-shaped cliff and turquoise waters, is a must-visit. Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts are in for a treat with vibrant marine life and coral reefs surrounding Nusa Penida island. Crystal Bay offers excellent snorkeling opportunities, allowing visitors to swim alongside manta rays and colorful fish in crystal-clear waters. For those seeking tranquility, Atuh Beach is a serene haven. Its secluded location and stunning scenery make it an ideal spot to relax and unwind away from the crowds.

Nusa Penida is larger than its two sister islands, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, with improved tourist infrastructure. The nature of the cliff formation, as well as the number of Hindu temples on this island, makes it more picturesque than its sister. Nusa Penida's rugged charm and unspoiled landscapes make it an adventurer's paradise, offering a unique and authentic experience away from the more touristy spots of Bali. Boats regularly move from mainland Bali to the three Nusa Islands, Nusa Penida being the last stop. Many people visit Nusa Penida on a day trip from Bali, but it is worth spending a few days here.
