Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida, an island located just off the southeast coast of Bali, is often referred to as Bali’s best-kept secret. This hidden gem offers pristine beaches, stunning viewpoints, and a unique cultural experience that sets it apart from the more popular tourist destinations in Bali. In this blog post, we will explore the beauty of Nusa Penida, delve into its rich marine life, and learn about the vibrant culture and traditions that make this island a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an authentic Balinese experience.
Nusa Penida: Bali’s Best Kept Secret
Nusa Penida is a place that will capture your heart with its breathtaking views and natural wonders. The island is full of amazing spots that are perfect for adventure lovers and photo enthusiasts alike.
How to get to Nusa Penida
There should be different ways, so please ask the receptionist of your hotel. We took a taxi from our hotel to Sanur and from Sanur we took a boat to Nusa Penida. We booked our ferry tickets online one day before the departure with Ray Fish fast cruises. I suggest that you take a morning boat because, from experience and from what we’ve heard from others, the afternoon boat ride can get really rough.
How to get around
Our hotel organized a personal driver for us. He was very flexible with the itinerary and the timing. We had him for one whole day, from morning till sunset. We were very happy with this service.

Where to stay
We stayed in an amazing hotel, called The Mesare Resort. We found the resort on Instagram. The resort offers 14 enchanting cottages with views to large organic gardens. I loved this hotel very much and I would highly recommend it to others.

My best travel tips for Nusa Penida
I’ve heard people going to Nusa Penida just for one day trip from Bali. I wouldn’t recommend that as I find it very stressful. We wanted to enjoy Nusa Penida and see most of what the island has to offer. So we chose to stay 2 nights. Therefore, I would recommend you to stay at least 2 nights, if possible.

The Verdict
You may not believe it but it’s true. We liked Nusa Penida more than Bali. Nusa Penida was exactly what we expected to see from Indonesia: an unspoiled island without traffic and palm trees everywhere.
