Nusa Penida: Bali's Prima Donna Spot for Tourists

09 April 2025

Nusa Penida is a small island that is still part of Bali and is often crowded with visitors. It's no wonder because this beautiful island indeed has stunning views.

If you want to go to Nusa Penida but are confused about when to truly enjoy your vacation without being disturbed by the crowds of Bali tourists, you can definitely check out this article. Let's dive right in! 

Choosing the Right Time

As we all know, Bali is always full of tourists, both local and international. The same goes for Nusa Penida, my friend. Although getting to this island requires crossing the sea because it is quite far from the main island of Bali, the place is still bustling with tourist visits.

Well, as a tip to have a more relaxed vacation and not feel too crowded by other tourists, the best time to visit Nusa Penida is during the low season. So, avoid holiday months like joint leave during religious holidays or the end of the year.

If you want some excitement, try preparing well in advance by requesting leave from work for a regular day. Trying to refresh amidst the hustle and bustle of the office isn't a bad idea, right? The important thing is that all your tasks from the boss are done! 

Crossing by Fastboat

As mentioned earlier, to get to Nusa Penida, you need to cross from Bali using a fastboat. The schedules for these fast boats vary and are usually available every morning and evening.

Nusa Penida itself has 4 ports, namely Buyuk Port which is suitable if you are bringing a private vehicle; Toya Pakeh Port located in West Nusa Penida; Banjar Nyuh Port which is suitable if you come from Sanur; and Sampalan Port which is the first port of Nusa Penida.

There are about 8 fastboats with different schedules, mostly at 8 AM and 3 PM. The journey to Nusa Penida takes about 30 to 45 minutes, so you really have to be patient. 

Tourist Attractions in Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is divided into 3 vacation areas, namely the west, east, and south regions. Each of these areas has its own tourist attractions. If you want to visit them all, at least you need to set aside a day for each area because the roads in Nusa Penida are still inadequate, which takes quite a long time.

You can find accommodations in Nusa Penida. The types of accommodations vary, from regular to luxurious with complete facilities, such as La Royale Villa, The Arancia Villa, to The Mesare Resort. If you want to save money, you also have many options for budget accommodations, like Abasan Hill Hotel and Bamboo Bungalows.

What other tourist attractions are there in Nusa Penida? Well, let's check out some summaries of the following tourist spots!

1. Pasih Uwug

Pasih Uwug is also commonly referred to as Broken Beach. This is because Pasih Uwug means a damaged beach in Indonesian. From a height, there is a sea area that is "trapped" in a hole in the hill. However, this is actually what makes Pasih Uwug look beautiful. 

2. Angel’s Billabong

Angel’s Billabong is located in West Nusa Penida, just 500 meters from Pasih Uwug. So, if you are at Pasih Uwug, just head west to reach this beach. 

3. Crystal Bay

Crystal Bay is also still in the West Nusa Penida area. The best time to visit here is in the afternoon while waiting for the sunset because the view will be very beautiful. If you go to this beach in July—September, you will also see Mola fish swimming on the surface. 

4. Raja Lima

It's time to explore East Nusa Penida, and it wouldn't be complete without visiting Raja Lima. The most famous attraction here is the Nusa Penida Tree House known as Rumah Pohon Molenteng. 

5. Atuh Beach

Set aside time to visit this beach. The beautiful view will certainly not make you regret it. From a height, Atuh Beach looks like a giant turtle that you usually see in fairy tales. Wow, that's really magical! 

6. Tanglad Hill

The shape of this hill is like what you see in the Teletubbies hill, my friend. It's very beautiful with its stacked shape. If you want to capture moments with your partner, you can make Tanglad Hill a prewedding photo spot. 

7. Peguyangan Waterfall

If you stop by South Nusa Penida, you must visit Peguyangan Waterfall! Because there is no doubt that Bali has unmatched water clarity. While some waterfall locations outside the city may be a bit murky, Peguyangan Waterfall is very clear!

8. Tembeling Pool

Tembeling Forest has a beautiful spot that often attracts tourists seeking tranquility, namely Tembeling Pool. The pool is small with very cool and clear water, and most importantly, it is quiet, making it perfect for relaxation.

Those are some explanations about having a great vacation in Nusa Penida. How about it? Are you really tempted to head to that beautiful island in Bali? If so, let's start saving. Don't forget to arrange your itinerary so your vacation is more organized too!

Also remember, if you really want to save, you need to estimate well how much you will spend on necessities and avoid buying things that are just wants. Bringing your own food will also help save on meal costs, my friend.
