Nusa Lembongan is a tiny island one-hour boat trip from Bali. Its shores attract visitors from all over the world as it is a well-known snorkelling, diving, and surfing destination.
But when the sandy beaches empty after dark, the island doesn’t sleep!
Nusa Lembongan is tightly connected by its even smaller brother – Nusa Ceningan. You just need to cross the bridge and in 3 minutes you’re on another island.
Both islands are more laid-back than Canggu or Kuta and you will not find an all-night-long party here, and a rare venue will be open past 10 or 11 pm. However, you still will be able to enjoy incredible live music, spirits and mocktails, and even shisha.
Whether you’re looking for beach clubs to sip some cocktails enjoying the sunset, want to hang out in a bar or watch a match, this nightlife guide will surprise you.
