Beyond its main island, Bali is surrounded by beautiful smaller islands like Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan. Today, we’re focusing on a honeymoon getaway on Nusa Lembongan. This island is rapidly gaining popularity among both domestic and international tourists due to its highly Instagrammable natural scenery and its laid-back, natural resort atmosphere with stunning white-sand beaches.
Your Honeymoon Journey to Nusa Lembongan
To reach Nusa Lembongan, you can purchase fast boat tickets from Sanur Beach. Sanur is typically bustling from morning till late afternoon, as it serves as the main port in South Bali connecting to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Lombok.
Boarding the fast boat from Sanur requires you to walk through the shallow seawater to reach the boat, meaning your feet or trousers will likely get wet. Therefore, it’s highly recommended to wear shorts and sandals if you use a public boat. If you are carrying large luggage or suitcases, don’t worry—you can simply hand them over to the staff when you check in for the fast boat. The crossing takes approximately 45 minutes before you arrive at Nusa Lembongan.
Must-Visit Romantic Spots on Nusa Lembongan
Once on the island, here are a few famous spots to explore:
- Devil’s Tear: This striking location is a large cliffside attraction where the powerful waves crash against the rocks, creating dramatic sprays of water that look like tears. It’s a fantastic spot for a memorable photo.
- Yellow Bridge (Jembatan Kuning) / The Bridge of Love (Jembatan Cinta): This bridge is the famous icon of Nusa Lembongan, connecting it to Nusa Ceningan. It’s a popular spot where many couples love to capture their holiday moments.
- Panorama Point: As the name suggests, this is a great vantage point for a panoramic view of Nusa Lembongan. Situated on a high elevation, it offers a clear, sweeping vista that often includes Nusa Penida and the surrounding area. It’s easily accessible by scooter.
After a satisfying day of exploring, you can relax at your hotel and enjoy a romantic dinner by the beach.
