Nusa Penida is a small, picturesque island in Bali. Located off the southeast coast of the main island of Bali, next to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan, it is quickly becoming one of Bali’s most popular attractions. This island paradise is a world away from high-paced city life and is just 40 minutes by speed boat from Sanur, Bali where visitors can explore the stunning vast highlands and roam around the spectacular beaches decorating the edges of the island. Beyond the hills and beaches, is the fantastic marine life breeding in the pristine seas encircling the island.
There are many other gems to unveil in and around Nusa Penida, such as Crystal Bay, Diamond Beach, Broken Beach, and Kelingking Beach, with the latter selected as the ‘Most Instagrammable Beach’ in 2021. The Teletubbies Hill, a vast open green hill, situated about 11 kilometers to the southeast of Kelingking Beach, is another must-visit spot.
Nusa Penida is also known for its coral reefs around the island which house some of the most unique sea creatures in the whole world, providing a special experience for divers and snorkelers.
