Must-see attractions on Nusa Lembongan: nature, culture & adventure
Nusa Lembongan is more than just a tropical escape. It’s an island filled with natural beauty, cultural gems and a sense of adventure around every corner. Whether you’re drawn to coastal landscapes, want to explore the island’s traditions or are looking for a thrill, here are the must-visit spots to add to your itinerary.
Natural wonders: Lembongan’s raw beauty
Devil’s Tear: The Ocean’s power on display
One of Lembongan’s most iconic spots, Devil’s Tear is where the ocean crashes against rugged cliffs, sending huge waves and sea spray into the air. It’s mesmerizing to watch, especially during sunset when the golden light reflects off the water.
Tip: Don’t forget to bring your camera.
Panorama Point: The island at a glance
If you want a breathtaking view over Nusa Lembongan, head to Panorama Point. From here, you get a stunning perspective of Jungut Batu Beach, the turquoise waters surrounding the island, and even Mount Agung on a clear day. It’s a great spot to take in Lembongan’s beauty from above.
Tip: Visit in the morning for the softest light or late afternoon for a golden glow over the island.
Cultural and local experiences
Seaweed farms: A glimpse into island farm life
Nusa Lembongan has a long tradition of seaweed farming, and while tourism has grown, you can still see farmers harvesting seaweed along the shallow waters near Jungut Batu and the Yellow Bridge. It’s a fascinating look at a trade that has shaped island life for generations and remains an important part of the local economy.
Tip: Visit during low tide, while the farmers are at work.
Pura Puncak Sari: A temple with a view
Tucked away on a hill, this temple offers not just a peaceful setting but also an amazing panoramic view over Lembongan. It’s one of the most significant Balinese Hindu temples on the island and a great place to experience the local culture.
Tip: As with any temple in Bali, wear a sarong as a sign of respect.
Adventure and thrills
Blue Lagoon: Cliff jumping & crystal waters
The Blue Lagoon, located on nearby Nusa Ceningan, is famous for its clear blue waters and popular cliff-jumping spots. If jumping isn’t your thing, it’s still worth visiting for the stunning scenery or watching the ones who are seeking an adrenaline rush.
Tip: Always check the tides and conditions before jumping—safety first!
Snorkeling & diving: Meet the mantas
Lembongan is part of a world-class marine ecosystem, and snorkeling or diving here is one of our favorite activities. Head to Manta Point to swim alongside majestic manta rays, or explore vibrant coral reefs at Crystal Bay.
Tip: The best time for snorkeling and diving is during the dry season (April to October), when underwater visibility is at its peak.
Stay in comfort after a day of exploring
After a full day of adventure, unwinding in a peaceful and comfortable space makes all the difference. At AVANTERRA, you’ll find a relaxing retreat where you can recharge for another day of exploring.
