The Conscious Traveller

Travelling to Nusa Lembongan is a dream come true for anyone who lands on its pristine white sandy beaches. The crystal clear waters, immaculate shorelines, and vibrant culture make this destination a popular choice for all. It is important to remember that our actions can have a significant impact on the environment and local communities. Being a conscious traveller means minimising our negative impact on the places we visit.

In this article, you will learn how to help preserve the beauty of Nusa Lembongan.

REUSABLE WATER BOTTLES

Popular tourist destinations, such as Nusa Lembongan, face the issue of increased plastic waste. Play your part in addressing this problem by carrying a reusable water bottle and refilling it whenever necessary. Our villas come equipped with water refill stations, which are available to you free of charge. Furthermore, many of the island’s restaurants and cafes provide complimentary water refills. Using your reusable bottle instead of a plastic one will help reduce the amount of plastic waste.

AVOID SINGLE-USE PLASTIC

Nusa Lembongan faces a severe problem with single-use plastic pollution, which calls for conscious travellers to take action. Carrying a reusable shopping bag is one of the most effective ways to achieve this, as it minimizes the need for single-use plastic bags. To further reduce the use of single-use plastics such as straws and utensils, consider bringing your own on your travels.

Alternatively, you can easily find these items for sale on the island. While dining out, inform your server that you don’t want a plastic straw or utensils, and they will happily comply.

PROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT

Responsible waste management is crucial for ensuring that tourism has a positive impact on Nusa Lembongan. To play your part, utilize designated waste bins or facilities for proper disposal while exploring the island. By taking these simple yet effective steps, you can help reduce the amount of waste that harms natural habitats or ends up in landfills.

An important initiative promoting sustainable waste management on the island is the Lembongan Recycling Center. They are actively involved in sorting and separating hard waste, composting food scraps from local restaurants and cafes, and encouraging visitors to use designated rubbish bins. Collaborating with the Lembongan Recycling Center will contribute to protecting the island and promoting sustainable tourism.

BE KIND TO THE OCEAN

Snorkelling and diving are two of the most popular activities in Nusa Lembongan. Home to a vibrant ecosystem of marine life and stunning coral reef, it is important to practice responsible ocean behaviours. Avoid feeding or touching marine animals, as well as littering or leaving any trash behind. Additionally, we recommend using reef-safe sunscreen to prevent harmful chemicals from entering the water and damaging the coral. It’s crucial to remember that coral reefs are delicate and provide habitats for an array of underwater creatures.

Choose a reputable tour operator as they prioritize environmental friendliness and provide education about appropriate conduct In the ocean. Engaging in responsible practices is a way to help protect these natural treasures for years to come.

REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Reducing energy consumption is a key responsibility for conscious travellers. Take simple steps like turning off lights, air conditioning, fans, and electronics when not in use. Many accommodation in Nusa Lembongan adopt eco-friendly practices, changing towels and linen every third day to minimize environmental impact.

As a mindful tourist, you can contribute by hanging your wet pool towels in the sun to dry, allowing for reuse during your stay. Water conservation is also critical. Keep showers short as this will help make a difference in preserving this precious commodity. These small actions can greatly reduce your carbon footprint while travelling.

CULTURAL TIPS

Respect the local culture by dressing modestly, following customs and traditions, and using pleasantries in the local language when you can. When visiting Hindu temples avoid wearing revealing clothing and opt for items that cover your shoulders and knees. A sarong loosely tied over your clothes for both men and woman is an appropriate way of showing respect when attending ceremonies or entering a temple.

Embracing the local culture during your travels is key to fostering an enriching and authentic experience. When immersing yourself in the local customs, traditions, language, and way of life, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the culture and build meaningful connections with the Lembongan community.

Becoming a mindful traveller involves making small yet significant efforts to reduce our environmental impact. It’s within our power to preserve natural wonders such as Nusa Lembongan, ensuring their beauty remains for future generations. The decision lies with each of us, and once made, adopting a sustainable lifestyle becomes effortless.

If surfing is what you are after, you could not get any closer to the lineup. Mahana point surf break is directly in front of The Palms and has a designated staircase that leads into the ocean. It truly does not get any better than that.

After a tough day in paradise, let the sound of the waves rock you to sleep, and do it all again tomorrow.

This is what we call the good life.

Best Vegan Food on Nusa Lembongan

In recent years, Bali has become a major hotspot for its progressive vegan food scene, and rightly so. Nusa Lembongan has followed suit and has a few of its very own treasures.
We have created a guide for the best vegan food on Nusa Lembongan, so your holiday will not only be sun-soaked but also loaded with yummy and memorable eats. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the words that will eventually become a feast on your table.

THE PLAYFUL TABLE

Nusa Lembongan Island has a new kid on the block and they have certainly entered the vegan scene with a BANG. The Playful Table offers a small, yet delicious menu that will leave you craving more. Located in-between Tamarind Bay and Coconut Beach, they boast exquisite ocean views and are surrounded by lush greenery. The perfect place for a morning coffee, brunch with friends, or dinner under the stars. When visiting The Playful Table, we recommend ordering the “Surprise Me”. This gives Chef Made the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind, personalised dish, especially for you. Trust us, you will not regret it.

The owner, Oria, has been visiting Nusa Lembongan since she was a little girl and thus has a deep connection with the island. She has built a team of passionate people who care deeply about providing the full dining experience.

Chef Made brings tangible joy and positive energy into her kitchen. She uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients and produces from their own permaculture garden. Homemade is the religion, everything that makes its way onto your plate has been hand-crafted by her.
The flavours are endless.

Ombak Zero Waste Cafe

Nothing beats feasting on scrumptious vegan goodness with your toes in the sand and eyes on the waves. Located on Jungut Batu beach, Ombak opened in 2018 and quickly became everyone’s favourite oceanfront cafe. Nagi, the wonderful owner from Bali, started Ombak with the vision of maintaining a zero-waste policy as much as possible, to protect and conserve our beautiful island.
Walking into Ombak is like stepping into your own sunny, salty living room. The team exudes happiness and welcomes guests with open hearts and bright smiles.

Consistency is an Ombak trademark. The food is always outstanding! Nagi sources fresh ingredients that will send your tastebuds into a flavour-filled paradise. Not only is the final creation a hit, but most of their sauces, toppings, and desserts are 100% homemade, too. When ordering a coffee, get it with Ombak’s signature homemade coconut milk. It’s made fresh, daily, without preservatives.

Choosing a meal can be hard, luckily we have 3 meals in a day. A few crowd favourites include their vitamin-packed smoothie bowls, the marinated Tempeh Satay, or Vegan Nasi Campur. Did someone say dessert? We insist on trying the homemade Vegan Salted Caramel Tart. Don’t ask why, just do it! You may even order a second one.

Bali Eco Deli

Located on the main drag of Jungut Batu, Bali Eco Deli was one of the first Western style cafes to open on the Island. A wonderful, shaded space with loads of foliage will give you the feeling of peace whilst enjoying a coffee, juice, or some tasty Vegan food.

Valentin, originally from France has dedicated himself to serving organic, fresh food and avoids using MSG or any other high-preservative sauces and condiments. Eco-friendly by nature, the restaurant features a small on-site wastewater and solar-powered garden. The menu is vast and everything is inviting. We love the crunchy veggie Stir Fry served with pineapple, air-fried tempeh, and tofu. A true plate of goodness.

If you are looking to put your sweet tooth at bay, grab one of their energy balls. They are the perfect treat after a feed and go well with a cup of coffee, too. Making good food is easy, but making great food is an art form.

Lago Beach Cafe

Tucked away under a tree, the Lago Beach Cafe is situated on beautiful Coconut Beach. Offering front-row seats to the ocean and more specifically, Playgrounds surf break. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it would be foolish not to visit at least once during the day. Grab a smoothie, a Quinoa Veggie Bowl and enjoy the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Top it off with a Vegan Dreamwave donut and that’s what we call a win.

If you are lucky enough to be on Nusa Lembongan over the weekend, be sure to relish in Indian under the Tree, an incredibly authentic menu created by Indian born Chef, Rohan. Dive into some delectable Aloo Pakoras, and crunchy Masala Poppadums to start before indulging in a divine Veggie Korma curry. It is here where India meets paradise, and for this, Lago Beach Cafe is a real gem.

Ginger & Jamu

Strolls down the beach become even better when charming cafes like Ginger & Jamu are ready to welcome you into their tropical oasis. The most common misconception of the vegan diet is that one would survive purely on a few carrot sticks and other raw ingredients that only a rabbit would eat.

This could not be more wrong. Jamie, from New Zealand, created Ginger & Jamu from a love of yoga, healthy eating, island living, and good vibes. The menu is almost 100% plant-based and guarantees healthy ingredients, premium cooking oil, and no MSG. They strive to source local produce as well as other foodstuffs that will nourish your body and bring a smile to your face. Everything is fresh, handmade, and prepared with love.

No matter the time of day, you are sure to find yummy vegan delights that will suit any mood. Vegan pancakes, Tempeh tacos, or a falafel bowl. Surely this is what food heaven looks like. Don’t forget to pop your head inside and check out their selection of delicious Vegan sweet treats.

Alponte Ristorante

Pizza is calling and the answer should always be YES.
Hop on your scooter and take a slow drive toward the yellow bridge, an iconic landmark connecting Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan Islands’.

Whilst cruising the beautiful coastline you will come across little Italy in the form of the lovely Alponte Ristorante, created by Italy’s Andrea and his adorable wife Tete. Dressed in all white, this quaint eatery will demand your attention and pull you right in. The atmosphere is awesome and the views only enhance the appeal. Overlooking the turquoise channel that flows between the two islands whilst munching on delicious vegan pizza is as glorious as it sounds.

We can assure you that this is no regular pie, it is topped with a thick tomato base, loaded with vegetables, and thrown into a wood-fired oven until perfection is reached. Pizza in paradise.
Alponte also offers homemade vegan pasta and are happy to adapt the menu so that you can enjoy your favourites with a vegan twist.
Buon Appetito.
P.S. Don’t forget your swimmers, they have a pool!

During the dry season (March – October) we experience cooler diving days. The water temperatures can drop below 20°C. On the flip side, during the wet season (November – February) the average temperatures are a toasty 25°C – 29°C.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY

Nusa Lembongan is located in the heart of the surrounding marine sanctuary, providing easy access to numerous dive sites. All within a short boat ride away, you will be back in the early afternoon in time for a cold coconut on the beach. The coast is lined with tall palm trees and picturesque limestone cliffs. Safe to say, the commute could be worse.

Paradise is a place underwater when diving in Nusa Lembongan.

OH, THE PLACES YOU WILL GO

Manta Point, being the furthest, but the most breathtaking journey is where the famous reef Mantas spend their days. They dance in slow motion and put on performances, unlike anything you have ever seen. Snorkellers can get a piece of the action, too. Simply throw on your mask, snorkel, and fins, and watch the show from above.

A must-do while visiting Nusa Lembongan.

Vibrant, colourful, and abundant are the words most used to describe Crystal Bay. It is home to a variety of fish, sea turtles, and the elusive Mola-Mola. Be sure to bring a camera, you don’t want to miss the photo opportunities that lie around every corner.

Heading further north is where we find the majority of our drift diving sites. The coast is filled with majestic sloping reefs, countless marine creatures, and the ride of a life time. Dropping below the surface is where it all begins. Mild to moderate currents usher us along the reef as we take in a live-action natural masterpiece.
