Where to stay in Nusa Lembongan: which stretch of coast?
Where to stay in Nusa Lembongan, the small island beside Nusa Penida in Bali, Indonesia, comes down to which stretch of its one coast suits you. Jungutbatu is one of the island's 2 villages, on the north-west beach. Mushroom Bay in the south-west has boats docking at its own jetty. Sunset Beach, Sandy Bay, Dream Beach and Devil's Tear run along the south-west cliffs, and Nusa Ceningan lies across the Yellow Bridge. Each stretch below shows the nearest landing the boat operators name and its Booking.com stays with their listed prices.

The coast from Jungutbatu to the Yellow Bridge
Read the strip in order, as if you were walking the shore: Jungutbatu on the north-west beach, round the point to Mushroom Bay, along the cliffs past Sandy Bay to Dream Beach and Devil's Tear, then across the island to the Yellow Bridge and Nusa Ceningan. Each stretch names where its boats land, how far its point is from Devil's Tear and the bridge, its price spread and three stays; every name jumps to its listing below.
Where the boats land

Jungutbatu: the village beach on the north-west
Jungutbatu is one of the two villages Andréfouët and colleagues count on Nusa Lembongan, the other being Lembongan village. Its beach faces north-west across the water, with boats moored off the sand. It is the stretch to pick when you want a village around you rather than a quiet cove.
The trade-off is the boat. The landings the operators name are elsewhere. From Jungutbatu, the Yellow Bridge is 2.2 km in a straight line and Mushroom Bay 3.0 km in a straight line, so most arrivals mean a short transfer by road. Devil's Tear, at the far end of the cliffs, is 3.7 km in a straight line.
Low tide shows the other side of the village. Seaweed plots fill the reef flat off the shore, and the reef that rings the island covers 7.54 km², by the same study's count. Jungutbatu's stays run the whole range, from Lembongan Cliff Villas to Aqua Nusa, the highest two-night total in the village.

Mushroom Bay: the jetty bay in the south-west
Mushroom Bay is the one stretch where the boat brings you to the door. The Tanis Fast Cruise states it boards from the Sanur pontoon and docks at its Mushroom Bay private jetty here, with no wet landing. Wijaya Buyuk lists departures from Sanur to Mushroom Bay at 7:30, 8:30, 9:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00. If you travel with heavy bags or small children, that dry landing is the strongest reason to choose this bay.
From Mushroom Bay, Devil's Tear is 1.0 km in a straight line and Sandy Bay 0.8 km in a straight line, so the cliff walks and the sunset stretch are close by. The Yellow Bridge is 2.4 km in a straight line away on the other side of the island.
Mushroom Bay holds the lowest two-night total on this page, Samana Homestay, and the five stays here climb to The Taran Villas Lembongan. The Mushroom Bay page covers the beach itself and adds a sixth listing, Soka Villa Lembongan, a three-bedroom house at US$1,978 for 2 nights.

Sunset Beach and Sandy Bay: three stays above the surf
South-west of Mushroom Bay the shore runs on to small coves facing the open sea. Sandy Bay is the named point for this stretch, with the surf coming in on its shore. It is the smallest group in the comparison, with three listings.
From Sandy Bay, Devil's Tear is 0.2 km in a straight line, close enough to walk to at the end of the day. Mushroom Bay and its jetty are 0.8 km in a straight line, the nearest landing named by an operator. The Yellow Bridge is 2.4 km in a straight line.
The three listings span a wide gap: Pondok Lembongan has the lowest two-night total of the three, Sunset Garden Nusa Lembongan sits in the middle of the page, and Villa Kokomo is near the top of it. Pick this stretch for the evening view out to sea and the walk along the cliffs to Devil's Tear.

Dream Beach and Devil's Tear: the cliff end of the coast
The south-west corner is where the coast turns to rock. Dream Beach is a cove of sand with surf rolling onto it; Devil's Tear, next to it, is a rocky shore with a rock pool and the surf breaking against it. From Dream Beach, Devil's Tear is 0.5 km in a straight line.
Klungkung Regency stated on 19 January 2023 that 12 prospective staff were briefed for the Devil's Tear destination, to work in levy collection, visitor information and upkeep. Treat the rock edge with care: the regency, not this page, decides what is open, and the Dream Beach page covers the beach and the swimming conditions officials state.
The nearest named landing is Mushroom Bay, 1.0 km in a straight line from Dream Beach. The Yellow Bridge is 2.0 km in a straight line. Dream Beach Huts leads the six listings here; Samah Villas is the dearest of them.

Nusa Ceningan: staying across the Yellow Bridge
Nusa Ceningan is the small island south of Lembongan, joined to it by the Yellow Bridge. Five stays in this comparison are on Ceningan, from Double'A beach house to The Purist Beach Nusa Ceningan; the same five are on the Ceningan and Blue Lagoon pages. Its named point here is the Blue Lagoon on the west coast, 2.1 km in a straight line from the bridge. Devil's Tear is 2.3 km in a straight line from the Blue Lagoon.
The bridge has a history. News reports citing Indonesia's disaster agency BNPB stated the earlier Yellow Bridge collapsed on 16 October 2016, killing 8 people. Klungkung Regency stated in 2020 that a new car bridge would be built beside the Yellow Bridge, and in 2022 that the planned bridge would be 190 m long and carry four-wheel vehicles. Smartraveller (advice updated 21 October 2026) lists crossing suspension bridges among the risky activities in Indonesia that may not be covered by travel insurance. Ask your stay how it brings guests and bags across from the landing.
Boats land near this end of Lembongan. From Sanur, Rocky Fast Cruise states it docks at its private harbour in Telatak village, near the bridge. Eka Jaya Fast Ferry names the Yellow Bridge as its Lembongan port, but its boats leave from Padang Bai and Serangan, not Sanur. The Nusa Ceningan page and the Blue Lagoon page cover the island itself.

pelabuhan harbour
Which boat lands nearest your bed
Sanur to Nusa Lembongan takes 30 to 45 minutes, as 5 operators state it. The listed departures from Sanur run from 7:30 to 17:00, and back from Lembongan from 8:15 to 16:30. Timetables change with the season and the sea, and an operator may cancel a sailing.
Where you land matters more than how long you are at sea, and where you board decides which boats you can take. Two landings are named by operators:
- Mushroom Bay, from Sanur: The Tanis docks at its own jetty and Wijaya Buyuk lands here.
- Telatak, by the Yellow Bridge, from Sanur: Rocky Fast Cruise docks at its private harbour, with Sanur departures at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 17:00.
- The Yellow Bridge, from Padang Bai or Serangan: Eka Jaya stops here, but its timetable lists no Sanur departure.
Book the boat that leaves from your side of Bali and lands on your side of the island, and the transfer shrinks to a walk or a short ride.
Not every boat uses a jetty. Scoot Fast Cruises describes itself as a point-to-point, beach-to-beach carrier, and recommends against travel for pregnant women in the first trimester, infants under three months and passengers over 80. Ask how your operator lands before you pack a hard suitcase. With children, Smartraveller (advice updated 21 October 2026) states it is unlikely that boat crews have life jackets for children, and advises bringing your own. The Sanur to Lembongan page has the timetables and fares, and the fast boat page covers the crossing to Nusa Penida.
retribusi levy
Licence, registration and the levy on Lembongan
The Bali Provincial Government states that its Circular No. 7 of 2025, dated 24 March 2025, requires foreign tourists to stay only in licensed accommodation. The stays on this page are listed hotels, villas, huts and homestays; a private room arranged on the beach is a different matter.
A private villa brings a duty of its own. Smartraveller, in advice updated 21 October 2026, states that visitors in a private residence, including Airbnb or a rental, must register on arrival with the local RT office and police, meaning the Rukun Tetangga (neighbourhood) office and the police. The UK FCDO, updated 18 September 2026, states a possible fine of 5,000,000 rupiah (about AUD 402, USD 274 or GBP 207) and that hotel guests are registered automatically.
Klungkung Regency, the district for all three islands, sets the island levy. Its tourism office states the Nusa Penida Tourism Levy for a foreign adult is IDR 25,000 (about AUD 2, USD 1.4 or GBP 1) and for a child IDR 15,000 (about AUD 1.2, USD 0.8 or GBP 0.6), with no age range printed. The regency's levy poster of 19 February 2026, issued under its 2023 regulation, states one levy ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan. Its Regulation No. 4 of 2026, of 29 July 2026, lists the island of Nusa Lembongan and Ceningan as a tourism area of its own (kawasan wisata pulau nusa lembongan-ceningan) subject to the recreation levy, without a separate amount in that text; ask at the harbour whether a ticket bought on one island is accepted on the other. Dollar figures use Bank Indonesia's rate of 13 November 2026.
wisata touring
Lembongan as a base for Nusa Penida
A bed on Lembongan works well for a week of slower days: surf, snorkel trips that start from the island, the mangroves, and a day across the strait to Nusa Penida. The snorkelling page sorts the trips that start on Lembongan, and the surf page covers surfing on Lembongan.
For a Penida day from here, the Nusa Penida day trip page shows how the west loop fits around the boats, and the tours page compares the tour types. If Kelingking at dawn or a night on the east coast is the plan, the Nusa Penida stays page compares its four bases.
For Lembongan itself, the Nusa Lembongan guide, things to do on Lembongan and the Lembongan day trip fill in what each stretch is like by day.
pertanyaan questions
Nusa Lembongan accommodation: questions people ask
What is the best area to stay in Nusa Lembongan?
For a village around you, Jungutbatu on the north-west beach. For the easiest arrival, Mushroom Bay, where The Tanis docks at its own jetty. For sunsets and cliff walks, Sandy Bay or Dream Beach near Devil's Tear. For the Blue Lagoon, Nusa Ceningan across the Yellow Bridge.
Where do the fast boats land on Nusa Lembongan?
The operators name two landings. From Sanur, The Tanis Fast Cruise docks at its own jetty in Mushroom Bay and Wijaya Buyuk sails to Mushroom Bay, while Rocky Fast Cruise docks at its private harbour in Telatak village, near the Yellow Bridge. Eka Jaya Fast Ferry names the Yellow Bridge as its Lembongan port, sailing from Padang Bai and Serangan. Scoot describes itself as a beach-to-beach carrier.
Can you stay on Nusa Ceningan instead?
Yes. Five stays on this page are on Nusa Ceningan, from Double'A beach house to The Purist Beach Nusa Ceningan, linked to Lembongan by the Yellow Bridge. Klungkung Regency has stated plans for a new car bridge beside it. Rocky Fast Cruise from Sanur, and Eka Jaya from Padang Bai or Serangan, land near the bridge and keep the transfer short.
Is there a levy to visit Nusa Lembongan?
Klungkung Regency's tourism office states the Nusa Penida Tourism Levy is IDR 25,000 for a foreign adult. Its February 2026 levy poster, under the 2023 regulation, states one ticket covers Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan; its Regulation No. 4 of 2026 lists Lembongan and Ceningan as a levy area of its own, with no separate amount in that text.
How many places to stay are there on Nusa Lembongan?
Andréfouët and colleagues counted 398 lodgings on Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan in September 2019, on an island of about 9.14 km² of land and mangrove. This page compares 25 of them listed on Booking.com, grouped into five stretches of coast with their listed prices.
Do I have to register if I rent a private villa?
Smartraveller states visitors in a private residence, including Airbnb or a rental, must register on arrival with the local RT office and the police. The UK FCDO states a possible fine of 5,000,000 rupiah and that hotel guests are registered automatically. The Bali government also requires foreign tourists to use licensed accommodation.
