NUSA
LEMBONGAN VILLAS AREA
Nusa Lembongan, a small island between Bali and Nusa Penida
in the Badung Strait, is the perfect location for a holiday
hideaway with few visitors and pristine unspoilt beaches.
Overlooking Sanghiang Bay with its clear sapphire-blue waters,
the Nusa Lembongan Resort offers a panoramic view of eastern
Bali and the majestic silhouette of Mount Agung.
Nusa Lembongan is situated 12 miles south east of Bali.
It is one hour traveling time by boat from Benoa Harbour.
This pear shaped island is around 4km long and 2km wide.
It is surrounded by a beautiful fringing reef, which hosts
a myriad of marine life, The waters are renowned for their
abundance of life and great surf breaks. The reef has been
declared a marine park by the Indonesian authorities. Not
only does the reef support its own Eco-system, but it supports
most of the villagers on the island as well. The local people
farm seaweed. This seaweed is cultivated, harvested then
exported all over the world for use in cosmetics, food stabilizers
and medicines. Other sources of income include traditional
wooden boat building, farming peanuts, sweet potato, and
fishing.
Village life is very slow and enchanting. Very few cars
and motorbikes are seen on the roads. The people are steeped
in tradition, and one could imagine Bali being like this
island, thirty years ago.
Although the island is small there are many things to do.
Fishing, diving, surfing, mangrove exploring, discovering
natural fresh water springs, underground cave house exploring,
cycling around the island. A visit to the bat caves on a
nearby island, or a picnic at dream beach. Try catching
mud cabs in the mangrove area at the back of the island.
There is something for every one at Nusa Lembongan.
