FAQ Nusa Lembongan

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning a holiday takes time and energy. The Lembongan Traveller team are  here to help to make it as stress free as possible.  Below we answer some of your FAQ about travelling to Nusa Lembongan.

Can I have early check in / late check out?

Early check in and late check out can be arranged if there is no one checking out or checking in on your dates.  For late check out, most properties will be more than happy to hold your bags so you can spend the day on Lembongan, standard check out time is 10am. Unless pre-arranged, check-in time is 2pm, we recommend catching the 2 or 5pm boat from Sanur so staff have time to prepare your room/villa.

What is your cancellation policy?

All payments are non-refundable as per terms and conditions detailed HERE.  Should you have a change of plans, illness, flight delays or cancellations these should be claimed via your travel insurer.  We recommend taking out travel insurance at the time of making your booking to ensure you are covered for any unforeseen circumstances.

Money Exchange, credit cards and ATMS on Nusa Lembongan?

There are a number of places you can exchange money on the island, including one on the main road in front of the Indiana gang in Jungut Batu.  Most resorts and restaurants accept credit cards, however cash is required for scooter hire, snorkelling and other day trips. There are a number of ATMs on Nusa Lembongan, but please note they have a limit on the amount you can withdraw and do sometimes run out of money. So best to bring some CASH from Bali!

Why we LOVE Sandy Bay

Why we LOVE Sandy Bay

Sandy Bay is one of Lembongan’s most iconic destinations.  It is home to white sands, rolling waves ( not the surfing kind), famous sunsets, the iconic Sandy Bay Beach Club and private villas to suit all budgets.

Take a stroll and swim in the beautiful azure waters at Dream Beach located next to the famed Devils Tear.  Here you will be able to spot turtles and rainbows in the mist of the blow holes, always take caution with respect for the power of the ocean.

Mushroom Bay is a short scooter ride from Sandy Bay where you can swim, snorkel and relax in the beachfront restaurants.  One of our favourites is Hai Bar and Grill who also offer a handy complimentary pick up and drop off service.

The Garden Shacks, Sandy Bay Lembongan

If you think “shack” means basic, this is not the case at the new Garden Shacks at Sandy Bay, Lembongan.  They are the most divine timber shacks, inspired by traditional Indonesian homes which have been re-created to give guests a very special experience.  Each of the 6 shacks have their own unique finishing touches and each are aptly named after an iconic island locations – Devils Tear ( where we stayed, which is painted with smokey blues and pink hues), Blue Corner, Gamat Bay, Mangrove Pint, Batu Abah & Broken Beach.

 

 

The Garden Shack experience is reflective of a boutique hotel, with rooms completed with creature comforts such as luxury linen & bedding, air conditioning, Sensatia Botanical amenities, open air bathrooms, private balconies and mini bar. We love their attention to Planet earth, by providing water in glass bottles and encouraging guests to restrict laundering of towels to every 3 days – but of course they will oblige if otherwise requested.

Affordably priced at under AU$200 / night including breakfast, PLUS the bonus of all the facilities you expect to find at a resort, but without the large numbers of people, makes privacy and relaxation the key for guests staying at The Garden Shacks.

The Café serves up delicious fresh food with great healthy options plus a wonderful cocktail list.  You can enjoy your meal poolside or on the upper deck area which grabs oceans and sunsets on demand! The pool is a gorgeous secluded space to relax, with palm trees and surrounded by double-bed pool lounges where a book and gin & tonic go hand in hand.

Breakfast can be served at your preferred location; at your room on your balcony, poolside or in the Café listening to the waves crashing onto the shores of Sandy Bay.  We would rate the breakfast as one of the BEST we have had on Lembongan, as part of an accommodation package.  Serious thought has gone into its composition, presentation and delivery – freshly squeezed fruit juice in a re-usable bottle, tea or coffee, neatly rolled omelette with tomato goodness, serving of fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and muesli plus a bread basket of pastries and rolls, complete with homemade jam. We were very impressed!

There is also the Sandy Bay Spa & Salon  (Glo Day Spa) which is a firm favourite for us and many of our guests for pampering and treatments.  Yes, they do waxing and we can vouch they are VERY good, manicures are amazing and their two-person (four hands on you) massage is definitely a must-do.  The Spa also offers in-villa services if you would prefer to have them come to you.

Then when you think you have it all, Sandy Bay Beach Club is a gentle 100m stroll down the road which is open from 8am till late for breakfast, lunch and dinner and of course for their famous sunset drinks.   You will also need to pop into The Walking Tree for a little island retail therapy, they tick all the boxes with fashion, homewares & island treasures.

That’s a wrap for The Garden Shacks, we LOVED it and hope you too get to enjoy and share in their wonderful creation and the entire Sandy Bay experience.

 

    Villa Tranquilla

    Villa Tranquilla in Nusa Lembongan

    Review by Fran Doll from @throughrosecolouredglasses

    Lembongan is my favourite place in the entire world. I was so happy to be heading back there this trip. I always feel a sense of relief when I get on the fast boat from Sanur across to the island. Leaving behind the busy hustle and bustle of Bali en route to paradise.

    We arrived to the crystal clear aqua waters and were taken promptly to our villa which was located right in Sandy Bay on the cliff top there. The view from this spot is nothing short of amazing. I come to Lembongan every year but Villa Tranquilla is definitely the best one I have ever stayed in on the island. The location is outstanding!

    The villa is huge and has incredible ocean views pretty much everywhere in the house. I loved waking up to the ocean crashing against the cliffs right in front of me, to my right the view of the stunning blue pool complete with day bed and lounges. I must tell you though my absolute favourite thing hands down was the bathtub. To literally sit in the tub overlooking such a spectacular view of the sea was so mind-blowing.

    The staff at Villa Tranquilla were so lovely and courteous every morning they would make us breakfast and clean our rooms. I wish I knew how to make a bed so perfectly!

    Sunset views at this place are just so crazy beautiful. I found it hard to leave and was so sad saying goodbye to this villa! I am that excited to come back for my next trip. Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. We had such an amazing time exploring the island, snorkelling and adventuring.

    So happy to have found it through The Lembongan Traveller. Thanks for an amazing stay.
