Book Your Stay Early

First Time in Nusa Lembongan, Villa Nusa Lembongan, Stay in Nusa Lembongan

Nusa Lembongan is a small island with limited accommodation options, and availability can fill up quickly, especially during high season. Booking your stay sooner than later is essential.

The limited availability and high demand means some properties impose non-refundable cancellation policies. We recommend taking up travel insurance, valid from the day of your booking, to protect you from “just in case” moments. This way, you’re covered for unexpected changes and can relax knowing your plans are protected.

Know When To Go

Planning your trip during the right season can make a big difference. High season (June to August) is lively, with lots of visitors and a bustling atmosphere. This season also offers clear skies and calm seas, perfect for adventures.  It’s a great time if you love vibrant energy, but keep in mind that prices for accommodation and activities will be higher, and popular spots may be busier.

Low season (November to March) brings a quieter vibe, with fewer crowds and often better deals on places to stay. It’s perfect if you prefer a more relaxed experience. However, you might encounter some tropical rain showers, which can add a touch of adventure to your stay. Whichever season you choose, Nusa Lembongan’s beauty and charm remain constant.

Pick The Perfect Stay

Galungan & Kuningan Day in Nusa Lembongan

Galungan and Kuningan day in Nusa Lembongan are two of the most important days on their calendar.  Galungan is the day when all Balinese Hindu people celebrate Darma (good spirit) win over Adharma (bad spirit). Galungan is always celebrated on a Wednesday and ten days later, Kuningan is on a Saturday every 6 months (210 days) in the Balinese calendar. This year Galungan is on February 28th & September 25th, 2024.

The spirits of deceased relatives who have died and been cremated return to visit their former homes, the living family members have a responsibility to be hospitable through prayer and making offerings.

Read on to gain an understanding of what takes place on and in the lead up to Galungan and Kuningan Day on Nusa Lembongan.

It is celebrated with colour, as magnificent penjors ( large bamboo poles with offerings suspended at the ends) are installed along the roadside of businesses and homes.

25 days before Galungan, Hindus people will have ceremony call “ Tumpek Wariga’’ which is for the trees, especially those that will be used for Galungan like coconu, mango & banana trees.   They pray that these trees will having fruit for them to use as offerings on Galungan day.

6 days before Galungan, is called ‘’Sugihan Jawa’’, in Lembongan people will clean all the temples, surrounding areas and also the things that they will use for the ceremony on Galungan day

 

 

5 days before Galungan, is called  ‘’Sugihan Bali’’ on this day people will start to make offerinsg from coconut leaves. Women in the family will start making a variety of offerings totally over 500+ by Gulangan day.

 

3 days before Galungan , is called ‘’Penyekeban’, people will go to their garden to harvest fruit and do fermentation of banana so they can use it in offerings and ceremonies for Galungan.

 

2 days before Galungan, is called ‘’Penyajaan’’ on this day Lembongan people will make Balinese cake and crackers to use in offerings for Galungan ceremonies.

1 day before Galungan, is called ‘’Penampahan’, men from the families will put up Penjors they have made from bamboo, coconut leaf, rice, garden produce, some will include seaweed, fruit, Balinese crackers & cake, plus one piece of yellow and white  cloth with the gods symbol on it. Families decorate their temples, house and prepare food such as satay and a special Balinese soup called “ares” made from chicken/pork  and banana tree trunk ready for the day ahead of celebrations.

On Galungan day,  people will start the day early with ceremonies from 5am at their house, they will then move onto their family temple and continue visiting other temples in their village. Normally the ceremonies will finish around 1pm.  They then return to their homes to enjoy a feast of food with their family and friends.

 

The day after Galungan, is called ‘’Umanis Galungan’’ this is time for the Lembongan people to take a break and relax with their families after long days preparing Galungan ceremonies.

Kuningan day, is celebrated 10 days after Galungan by the Lembongan people with smaller offerings than on Galungan.

 

5 days before Kuningan is the day Lembongan people will start to make offerings from coconut leaves.

3 days before Kuningan is called ‘’Penyekeban’’ people will go to their garden to harvest fruits and do fermentation from banana so they can use it in offerings and ceremonies for Kuningan.

2 days before Kuningan, is called ‘’Penyajaan’’ on this day Lembongan people will make Balinese cake and crackers to use in offerings for Kuningan ceremonies.

 

1 day before Kuningan  is called ‘’Penampahan’’, people will decorate their temple with new offerings for Kuningan also making satay as they did at Galungan, plus preparing the special dish called Nasi Kuning (yellow rice) which is symbolic of Kuningan Day.

 

 

On Kuningan day Lembongan people will start earlier than Galungan,  at 4am in the morning offerings and ceremonies will begin.  This is because on Kuningan day the Gods only come to the temple for half day so they need to start early. On Kuningan day families only visit a few temples for the ceremony not all temples like on Galungan. In the afternoon Lembongan people will gather at the main temple for a Barong dance.

Same with Umanis Galungan, the day after Kuningan day everyone returns to their family house to clean and tidy up everything used for the recent ceremonies.

30 days after Galungan , the penjors are taken down and burnt along with the offerings that were used to decorate these bamboo structures.  The ash is gathered in respect to the gods and spread in the house garden.

Avoid Fireworks

For several reasons, we kindly ask you not to light fireworks.

  • Safety Concerns: Fireworks can pose significant safety risks, especially in unfamiliar settings.
  • Fire Hazard: Fireworks can easily start fires, particularly in dry conditions. Many properties have alang-alang roofing, and the island lacks fire brigade or emergency services.
  • Noise Disturbance: Nusa Lembongan is a tranquil, family-friendly destination. Fireworks can disturb guests, local wildlife, and nearby residents.
  • Environmental Impact: Fireworks release pollutants and debris that harm the environment. We are committed to sustainability and reducing our ecological footprint.

How to Get to Nusa Lembongan from Sanur

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan? With its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, Nusa Lembongan is a paradise waiting to be explored. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth boarding process and an enjoyable journey.

Distance and Duration

Nusa Lembongan Boat Transfer

The distance between Bali and Nusa Lembongan is approximately 15 kilometres, with a quick 30 to 40-minutes boat ride. Rest assured, the boats are spacious, safe, and equipped with modern safety gear, ensuring your peace of mind throughout the journey.

Sanur Port

The Port is newly opened in 2022 and located on Jalan Matahari Terbit. Every day, more than 20 vessels take travellers to various destinations including Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Penida and Gili islands.

Boarding Steps

Get your boarding pass

Head to the fast boat office to collect your boarding pass and check in your luggage. At the office, you will receive a small paper boarding pass with QR code along with either a boat lanyard tag or a wristband, depending on the boat provider. Additionally, you’ll be given a note for your return journey, which is essential to keep safe as you’ll need to present it to the boat office in Nusa Lembongan on your departure date.

Walk to the port

Take a short walk to the port where your boat awaits. The entrance gate is located on the left side of the port. Along the way, you’ll pass several stalls where you can purchase water and snacks for your boat ride before entering the port.

Security Check and wait in the waiting room

Once you enter the port, you’ll encounter a barrier gate in the terminal. Here, the staff will scan the QR code on your boarding pass. Only those with a boarding pass QR code are permitted to enter the gate and proceed to the waiting room upstairs.

Board your boat

An announcer will call your boat’s name. Prepare your boarding pass once again and follow the crew for instructions.

Tips

  • Unless you book Rocky Fast Cruise with jetty to jetty service, you will land on water. Wear appropriate clothes (shorts and flip flops) and be mindful when carrying your suitcase as it can be hard to drag on sand. You can opt to store your luggage at one of the luggage drop services near the port for extra convenience.
  • Traffic to reach Sanur Port can be unpredictable and we strongly suggest to spare extra transport time. For the most practical way to reach the port, book a transfer that includes pickup and drop off by the boat company.
  • Go to the toilet before boarding as only some fast boats have a toilet onboard. But with the boat going at 50 km/h, it will not be the easiest toilet experience.
  • Sit at the back of the boat to reduce the up and down bouncing motion experienced during the ride.
  • The smoothest rides are often in the morning before the wind picks up. Less chop on the water.
  • No F&B service on the boat, so you can bring your own water and snacks.
  • Separate your travel bag and take a small backpack for your water and snacks as your luggage will be put in the main storage area of the boat.

Surfing in Nusa Lembongan: Eat, Sleep, Surf, Repeat

If you are looking for waves, look no further, surfing in Nusa Lembongan offers something for everyone. No matter your level, there are countless “best session of my life” kinds of days waiting for you. Nusa Lembongan has a few different surf breaks spread along our picturesque white sandy shores.  Let us take you on a virtual tour of the best surf breaks in Lembongan and when to surf them.

CONDITIONS ARE EVERYTHING

The surrounding surf spots are incredibly tidal and condition dependant. At one moment, the ocean can resemble a lake, and the next it will look like something out of your favourite surfing magazine.
Strong currents are common around the higher tides, and extremely low tides will make most spots un-surfable. Be sure to take these factors into account before paddling out. If you are patient and choose the right window, you will score.

HOW DO I GET TO THE WAVES?

The surf is accessible by paddling, or alternatively catch a ride with a surf taxi or go with a surf school.

 

RESPECT THE LOCALS

The local surf crew on Lembongan are super experienced and know these waves like the back of their hands. They are friendly, they rip, and they will welcome you with open arms. No ma5er where we surf, the golden rule always applies; respect the locals. This is their home after all.

FROTHING! SO, WHERE SHOULD I SURF TODAY?

SHIPWRECKS

In the 70s a boat wrecked on the reef and gave the surf spot its name, Shipwrecks. A right-hander that breaks in deeper water that provides barrels and long drawn-out walls on its day. Shippies is geared towards the more experienced surfer and is primarily a shortboard wave. On smaller days, beginner surfers will find some fun, too. We recommend surfing at mid-tide on either side of the swing. If you are feeling unsure, check in with the local boys, they will provide you with friendly, solid advice.

RAZORS

Just left of Shippies is Razors. A left-hander that is perfect for beginner surfers looking to up-skill or take a lesson. Razors can be surfed on either side of the tide swing but is best avoided when it gets too low. Long, sectioney walls are on repeat, so there will be enough fun for everyone.
Remember to keep an eye out for the current that tends to creep in at a moment’s notice.

LACERATIONS

A natural wave pool, Lacerations will throw some of the most perfect right-hand barrels you have ever seen. Hollow, steep, long, and just plain epic! When the swell kicks up, Lacerations is best left for the more advanced surfers. Nestled above a sharp reef, the take-off at Lassos can be gnarly, but if you make it, you are in for the ride of a life time. Best surfed at mid-tide on either side of the swing
If spitting barrels is what you are looking for, then the lower it gets, the hollower it becomes.
A reef kiss from Lacerations is not uncommon for the dare-devils out there.

LESS GNARLY LACERATIONS

On the flip side, when conditions are friendlier and more manageable, Lacerations is perfect for a lesson or a fun free surf. The local surf schools will be happy to take you and provide a memorable surfing experience. Lacerations peels down the line and ensures long right hand rides, and perhaps even the odd left. The name is intimidating, but worry not, everyone is welcome at Lacerations. Match the conditions of the day with your surf level, and you will find some fun waves.

PLAYGROUNDS

A dreamy A-Frame located a short paddle away from Coconut Beach, Playgrounds is a surfer’s paradise. Split the peak with your mates and enjoy the breathtaking views of the limestone cliffs. On smaller days, Playgrounds can be enjoyed by any level of surfer. Having said that, when the swell turns up, Playgrounds is best enjoyed by those with more experience.

Higher tides bring about strong currents, so surfing Playgrounds at mid-tide is your best bet. Make sure to take your last wave before the reef starts to show. This is, after all, one of the sharpest and most lively reefs on the island.
Don’t let the name fool you.

MAHANA POINT

Just over the Yellow Bridge, Mahana Point is found on Nusa Ceningan Island. A left-hand point break that delivers long, faster walls. Due to its location, Mahana Point picks up a lot more swell, and can therefore be bigger and more tricky. The wave breaks beach-break style without a channel on either side. If Lembongan is flat, take your scooter over the bridge and you are likely to find a wave at Mahana Point.  It’s also a great spot for non-surfers, with a Warung and great viewing area to watch surf.

We hope this has inspired you to follow our mantra of eat, sleep, surf, repeat.

Nyepi Day

NYEPI DAY 2024

Nyepi Day, falls on 11th March this year, a day of silence, celebrating the start of the Hindu new year, for the Balinese this is a time to reflect on the year past and plan for the year ahead.

 

The Melasti Ceremony is a purification ritual usually held a few days before Nyepi Day. This takes place on the beach, is a colourful spectacle where people bring offerings and pray to cleanse their bodies and earth of bad spirits.

On the eve of Nyepi, i villages and communities gather with their Ogoh Ogoh ( large paper mache sculptures) and parade through the streets which end with them ceremoniously being burnt, symbolizing purification.  This is a spectacular procession and a highlight of the  Nyepi festivities.

Nyepi Day itself is a spiritual day reserved for self reflection, observed from 6 am on 11th March until 6 am on 12th March,  with anything that may interfere with that purpose being restricted. The main restrictions are no power, no working, no entertainment, no travelling (people stay at home) and, for some, no eating.

Although Nyepi is primarily a Hindu holiday, non-Hindu residents and tourists are not exempt from the restrictions.  We ask all visitors to Lembongan during Nyepi Day to respect these traditions and to remain within their accommodation confines. Whilst some hotels on Bali receive special permission to use limited power, it is far stricter on Nusa Lembongan with many places closing or operating without power and minimum or no staff for the day.  It is advised you check with your accommodation to find out their policies surrounding this special day.

We trust all visitors will be mindful and respectful of Nyepi Day and the importance it plays in the Hindu culture.

REVISED BOAT SCHEDULES

Please note no boats will be operating on 11th March 2024 and a revised schedule for 10th March.  Normal boat schedules resume on 12th March.  For more information please Whats App +61 478 928 925
