Not far from mainland Bali is the paradise island of Nusa Lembongan. Even though Nusa Lembongan is a small island, there is plenty to see and do.
Nusa Lembongan has a very laid-back atmosphere. The island offers beautiful beaches, divers sealife and many nice hotels and restaurants.
If you’re considering staying on Nusa Lembongan, we recommend staying for at least two nights. This way, you have enough time to discover the island and enjoy its vibe.
Nusa Lembongan has a nice variety of hotels, ranging from budget to luxury hotels. In this guide, we will discuss our favourite accommodations on this beautiful island.
Best Hotels Nusa Lembongan
Tamarind Resort Nusa Lembongan
Tamarind Resort is built around and named after a 300-year-old Tamarind tree. With five stars to its name, this resort really has it all.
Tamarind Resort Nusa Lembongan has several suites to choose from but trust us when we say every single one is beautiful. The resort also offers private villas.
Besides nice suites and villas, this resort is also equipped with three different swimming pools. On the property, you will also find a chic restaurant named Indica. If you’re not a guest at Tamarind, you’ll be pleased to know you can still visit this exquisite restaurant.
Lastly, this resort also features a fully equipped gym and a relaxing spa. They even host events like cooking classes or island tours.

Tigerlillys
Tigerlillys is only a short walk from Jungut Batu Beach, a popular beach on Nusa Lembongan. Tigerlillys is a boutique hotel with cute two-story huts.
The huts have an open-air bathroom, which we see often in Bali. You should note that the upper rooms have to go down the stairs to reach their bathroom.
Tigerlillys also features a very good restaurant: Lionfish. We highly recommend going here for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
The Beach Shack, located on Jungut Batu Beach, is also part of Tigerlillys. The Beach Shack has a laid-back atmosphere and is the perfect spot for watching the sunset.

Bamboo Bungalows
As the name suggests, these bungalows are made of bamboo, giving them an authentic and cosy look. Bamboo Bungalows is near Jungut Batu Beach and many restaurants.
The bungalows all have a porch with a swing or hammock, which is always nice for relaxing. The open-air bathrooms are clean and very spacious.
Bamboo Bungalows also has an outdoor swimming pool on the property. The pool is not the biggest, but it is perfect for cooling down.

Villa Tanjung
If you’re travelling with family or friends, then maybe Villa Tanjung meets your wishes. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, this magnificent villa can accommodate up to 12 people.
Villa Tanjung offers unique panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. We can imagine the sunsets are absolutely stunning from here.
However, the views are probably best from within the infinity pool, overlooking the crashing waves and surfers.
The villa is located right between Mushroom Beach and Tamarind Beach. Therefore, Tanjung Villa is the perfect place for discovering the beauties of Nusa Lembongan.

Castaway
This boutique hotel has the bohemian style which we adore. Guests can choose between one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom villas or a three-bedroom villa.
Castaway is located near Mushroom Bay, and you will find many Indonesian and western restaurants in the area. You can rent motorbikes at Castaway to discover other parts of Nusa Lembongan.
This bohemian boutique hotel also features a nice pool where guests can cool down. If you’re not in the mood for a swim, you can also sit down in one of the beanbags located next to the outdoor pool.

Sunset Coin Lembongan
Sunset Coin Lembongan is strategically located between Dream Beach and Sunset Beach. It is also in close proximity to the famous tourist spot Devil’s Tear.
The authentic wooden bungalows are surrounded by greenery, giving a tropical atmosphere. Amid the bungalows, you will find the outdoor pool.
Sunset Coin Lembongan also features a spa. They claim to have the best masseur on the island, so we think it won’t hurt to spend an afternoon getting pampered here.

Ohana’s
Ohana’s is mostly known for its beach club on Jungut Batu Beach, but it also has a really nice hotel. The hotel offers different types of rooms, and some even come with a private pool.
However, if you opt for a room without a private pool, you can hardly be dissatisfied because Ohana’s shared pool is excellent.
If you find yourself hungry while relaxing at the pool, you’ll be happy to know that Ohana’s serves impeccable dishes. Our favourite is the tuna melt sandwich.
Ohana’s is also more than willing to make your stay on Nusa Lembongan worth it. They offer many adventure packages and activities to ensure you get the best out of your trip.

Morin Resort
If you’re looking for someplace fancy during your stay on Nusa Lembongan island, then Morin Resort is it. This fancy resort is located on a hill near Coconut Bay.
Even though the rooms and villas at Morin Resort are stunning, our favourite part is the infinity pool. The infinity pool overlooks the crystal blue waters, which makes for stunning views.
Besides the sea view, this resort will guarantee lovely views all around. The resort is beautiful, and we can see the attention to detail that went into this relaxing place.
Morin Resort offers a variety of activities, such as snorkelling, sunset cruises, surfing and diving with manta rays. You also get the opportunity to customise your trip, and the lovely staff will do their absolute best to accommodate your wishes.

Dream Beach Huts
Dream Beach Huts has a great location near tourist attractions like Devil’s Tear and, of course, Nusa Lembongan’s best beach: Dream Beach. The wooden huts are very charming, and some are even located right on the beach.
Another cool feature of this hotel is its infinity pool. The outdoor pool offers amazing views of the beautiful beach and the clear blue waters.
On the premises, you will also find a restaurant and a spa. We recommend opting for the traditional Balinese massage since you just can’t leave Bali without trying one.

Aqua Nusa
Aqua Nusa offers a selection of beautiful private villas. The villas all have a private pool; some are small plunge pools, and some are infinity pools.
Aqua Nusa is a bit more on the expensive side for accommodations on Nusa Lembongan, but we understand this price tag.
The villas are all very luxurious and have fantastic views of the Indian Ocean. Another great perk is that these villas come with Ohana’s beach club access.
If you crave some relaxation, then one of Aqua Nusa’s villas really is your best option. For couples, we highly recommend Villa Sempurna, but for families, Villa Chantique or Villa Bunga would be perfect.

Sandy Bay
Sandy Bay Beach Club is a popular spot on Nusa Lembongan island. However, not everyone knows that they also have accommodations.
The accommodations Sandy Bay Beach Club offers range from cute shacks to luxury beach houses. The beach house is a four-bedroom villa and, therefore, the perfect villa to stay in with friends or family.
Sandy Bay also has a spa, a salon, a kids play area and a cafe available for all guests. If you stay at Sandy Bay, you will not want to leave the property!

Paus Putih Hotel
Paus Putih Hotel is a nice combination of Indonesian and modern design. The Joglo-style cabins get a modern look with a mostly white interior.
The hotel has a beachfront location and offers direct access to Tamarind Beach. The restaurant and outdoor pool overlook the beach and serve great views.
The only downside about this hotel is that the location is a bit remote and therefore not close to restaurants. To explore Nusa Lembongan, we always recommend renting a scooter, but here, you really don’t have another choice.

LeBAOH VILLA
This four-bedroom villa is a hidden gem on Nusa Lembongan. Tucked away in the south of Nusa Lembongan, this villa is a bit further away from hotspots, but believe us when we say it’s worth it.
LeBAOH VILLA offers fantastic views of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Especially the three bedrooms upstairs have magnificent views.
If you’re feeling adventurous, then the friendly staff is more than willing to help you. They organise tours to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, or you can just rent a motorbike by yourself.

C-View Villas
If you prefer to stay a bit further away from the hustle of the island, then C-View Villas is the way to go. This resort offers bungalows as well as villas with a private pool.
C-View Villas is located on top of a hill, making for spectacular views of the island. However, because of this, you will need a scooter or private driver to discover the island.
The villa with a private pool is the biggest option and suites up to twelve guests. The price for this villa is, compared to other private villas, not that expensive, so this could be your chance to stay in a villa in Bali!

The Nicho’s Bungalows
The Nicho’s Bungalows are strategically located within walking distance of Mushroom Bay and many popular restaurants.
The bungalows and villas are surrounded by a lush green garden, enhancing the property in a tropical atmosphere. The swimming pool complements the jungle vibe nicely and is perfect for a refreshing dip.
The bungalows and villas all have a big two-person bed and an open-air bathroom, which is not uncommon in Bali.
It is also possible to rent a motorbike at The Nicho’s Bungalows. Be careful, though, when riding a motorbike. The roads in Nusa Lembongan are not always good, and there are some steep hills.
In the evening, you will discover there are hardly any lanterns to light up the road, so take that into account before renting a motorbike.
