Excited about your trip to Bali and think you'll head to Nusa Penida as part of your Bali itinerary? It can be time-consuming to research all the beautiful places where to stay in Nusa Penida.
Here is my advice: forget everything about the bling-bling of luxury resorts and chic beach clubs of Canggu and tune into the island vibe of Penida Island: raw, humble, and authentic. Some parts of the island are still quite undeveloped and I would definitely consider Nusa Penida a hidden gem!
Read below to find the best hotel in Nusa Penida, from luxury resorts with private pools and room service to family-owned guest houses.
Best Hotels in Nusa Penida – Quick Picks if You’re in a Hurry
Is It Worth Staying In Nusa Penida? Or Should I Rather Do A Day Trip There?
The journey to get to Nusa Penida requires you to hop on a speed boat from Sanur on mainland Bali.
Depending on the weather and the port where you will embark, it can take about 30 to 45 minutes.
If you have limited time, taking a day trip to Nusa Penida is an excellent way to explore the island. Some tour companies run their Nusa Penida day trips to the West part of the island and the East part and others focus on snorkelling only.
Most Nusa Penida day trips usually include pick up and drop off from and to your hotel in Bali.
I recommend this full-day tour of Nusa Penida you can take from Bali.
But honestly, Nusa Penida has so much beauty that it deserves more attention! Stay at least a few days there. You won't regret it because Nusa Penida is very worth visiting!
Main Areas to Stay in Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida is notably bigger compared to its popular sister island, Nusa Lembongan.
It comprises three main areas where you will find most Nusa Penida hotels and that I highly recommend for a stay, each offering unique sights to explore.

- Convenient location for Bali ferry access
- Most developed infrastructure with restaurants and bars
- Best for a comfortable, hassle-free stay

2. Crystal Bay (West)
- Best snorkeling spot on the island & seeing manta rays

- Close to Kelingking Beach and Angel’s Billabong
- Best for relaxing getaways and short-term stays
3. Diamond Beach & Atuh Beach (South East)
- More remote, quiet location
- White sandy beaches and crystal clear waters
- Secluded beaches, green hills and cliffs
- Best if you want to stay at the famous Rumah Pohon Treehouse

1. The Best Place To Stay In Nusa Penida For First Time Visitors: North East Penida, around Toya Pakeh Harbour & Batununggul
What area to stay in Nusa Penida for first-time visitors? Let’s start with the North and East sides of the island.
In the North, two harbors welcome tourists on arrival: Buyuk and Sampalan boat landings. If you choose to stay in the same area, you can save on travel time to reach your hotel.
The Northeast around Toya Pakeh is the most urbanized district and is picked by the majority of tourists.
Toya Pakeh is the main town of the island – chilled, pleasant, and with great vibes at the same time.
If cool bars and restaurants are your thing, you are in search of quality diving schools and being close to the main famous attractions of the island – the Northern side of Nusa Penida definitely has it all.
That's where the Toya Pakeh Harbour embraces its quiet waters and most of the other popular spots, such as Angel's Billabong and Kelingking Beach.
It's easy to find a typical Nusa Penida style hostel or luxury accommodation and compared to Bali, Nusa Penida can be a more budget-friendly destination, as the cost of accommodation tends to be lower.
However, Bali offers a wider range of options in terms of accommodation and activities, which cater to both budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a more luxurious experience.

3. Where To Stay In Nusa Penida Off The Beaten Path: East Side, close to Diamond Beach & Atuh Beach
Now let's have a look at what the East side of Nusa Penida can offer!
The island of Nusa Penida is already considered a hidden gem island in Indonesia and kinda off the beaten track, however, the eastern part of the island is even more for the adventurous souls.
Please be aware that traveling from the Northwest area to the East can be a lengthy and rough journey. However, a new road from the East Coast now makes reaching Atuh Beach more convenient, taking approximately one hour.
That's why staying in different spots of Nusa Penida is convenient, and at least for a day or two, especially if you want to get to Diamond Beach.
The East is pretty secluded but offers splendid views and activities: there are two main beaches, Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach.
They both have long stretches of white sand beach surrounded by cliffs, rock formations, and turquoise blue water.
Another spot to visit is the Thousands Islands viewpoint, along with the Insta-famous Rumah Pohon Treehouse. Needless to say the mysterious cavern temple Pura Goa Giri Putri Temple should be on top of your list!
Lempeh Jungle Cottage
If you're wondering where to stay in Nusa Penida as a backpacker, that might be the right one for you.
Lempeh Jungle Cottage proposes a traditional type of hut with all the essentials: a double bed, AC, a bathroom with hot water, and a TV.
These cottages are set in a spacious garden surrounded by palm trees.
You can mingle with locals and other guests at the bar on-site, or while enjoying an Asian breakfast.
It is located within 10-minutes walking distance of Diamond Beach.
Location: Jalan Raya Pelilit
Price from: US$39 per night
Sleeps: Bungalow, up to 2 people
What makes it unique? Very affordable room price and casual island life experience.
Rumah Pohon Tree House
Oh, you probably heard about the famous tree house of Nusa Penida.
The Rumah Pohon guest house has several cabins located on a cliff overlooking the ocean and is located near Atuh Beach.
This type of accommodation is not for the faint-hearted! Yes, it is the most Insta-famous spot in Nusa Penida, but the huts are extremely rudimentary.
A mattress, a small terrace, and a shared bathroom… And that’s pretty much it!
Obviously, people don't go there for comfort but for the experience of waking up in an incredible location.
And so, that is for those who are happy to give up on their comfort for a breathtaking view!
The road to get there is not one for a comfy ride, and there are a lot of stairs to reach this unique hut.
Location: Banjar Pelilit
Price from: US$40 per night
Sleeps: Cabin, up to 2 people
What makes it unique? I love the rough style of adventure! And it's also hard to beat the sunrise, the view and the sound of the ocean while waking up.

The wooden cottages are entirely made of local materials, each featuring a double bed, a private bathroom, and AC.

You have to drive only 10 minutes to get to Atuh Beach, one of the most astonishing beaches in Bali.

Where to Stay in Nusa Penida – Frequently Asked Questions
⭐ Is It Worth Staying In Nusa Penida?
Staying in Nusa Penida is undoubtedly worth it for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path paradise. With its stunning coastal landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marine life, Nusa Penida offers natural beauty, adventure as well as beautiful sunsets paired with laid-back accommodations that make it well worth the visit.
📍 Where Is Nusa Penida?
If you look at a map of Bali, Nusa Penida lies between the islands of Bali and Lombok. Geographically, there is a total of three islands that belong to Bali: Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and Nusa Penida. Each one of those islands bubbles with its unique atmosphere and personality. Nusa Penida is the largest and most pristine of these three Nusa islands!
Altogether, they sit on the southeast coast of mainland Bali – easily accessible from Sanur via ferry.
Despite its proximity to the hyper-popular but sometimes a little overcrowded Bali, it's only since 2015 that tourism truly emerged on the island, and travellers from all around the world started flowing.
One of the reasons for Penida’s lack of development is the unwelcoming cliffs in its surroundings, unlike its neighbours, Nusa Lembongan, Lombok and Bali. Funnily enough, the Balinese associate the island with black magic, witchery and demons. Maybe that explains why Nusa Penida stayed a well-kept secret for so long.
Locals say that the modern culture that developed on the island is reminiscent of ancient Bali. Another reason to visit this beautiful island, right?
🏖️ What Are the Best Things To Do In Nusa Penida
Let me list some activities that will keep you busy during your stay:
Kelingking Beach: the most Insta-famous spot on the island! It's a viewpoint overlooking a white sand beach and cliffs of incredible beauty. The staircase leading to the beach is not the safest to walk on. Although, some brave ones eventually make it to the bottom (count for at least 30 minutes), and are rewarded with total privacy on this dreamy beach.
Swimming and snorkeling with Manta Rays: Are you a passionate swimmer? Crystal Bay is the most popular beach as it's easy to reach and is suitable for swimming.
You can enjoy calm waters, a quite rare condition for the shores of Bali! Another gem on the island is Atuh Beach: one of the best beaches I have seen in my life.
Swimming with Manta Rays? You can do this here too!
Head to the Manta Point, there is a multitude of diving schools that can organize full package trips if you’re thirsty for adventure.
In high season, you need to book your Manta Rays Snorkelling Tour ahead to not miss out.
Snorkelling and diving: you can snorkel on Crystal Bay (also suitable for diving) and Gamat Bay. Lots of shops can assist you in choosing your gear.
Cliffs viewpoints: Broken Beach (which is not an actual beach) and Angel's Billabong are the spots to capture epic sunrises and romantic sunsets.
Pepuyangan and Seganing waterfalls: will project you into a misty wilderness to cool you off during the hottest part of the day.
Tembeling Forest and Tembeling Springs: a natural freshwater swimming pool and isolated beach that can only be accessed through dense forest.
Last but not least, you can check out local temples. According to local beliefs, some priests banished evil spirits to the island long ago.
To keep them in peace and maintain a balance between good and evil, the Balinese worship the dark spirits in the temple called Pura Dalem Ped. The other special temple is Pura Goa Giri Putri (Giri Princess Cave), nestled in a dark cave!
Many spots on the cliffs are not the safest regarding trails and security features. Always listen to locals when they give you advice. They know their island the best!
📅 How Many Nights To Stay In Nusa Penida?
Nusa Penida is truly a hidden gem where you can experience local life, nature and a relaxing time. If you like this kind of island vibe, then I recommend you spend at least three days on this untouched island and slowly sync in with the local slow pace of life.
Otherwise, there are plenty of day tours that will allow you to visit the best spots of Nusa Penida, such as Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach, Angel's Billabong, and Crystal Bay, with the option of doing a full day of diving and snorkelling with Manta Rays.
❓ Is It Better To Stay On Nusa Penida Or Nusa Lembongan?
The main difference between these two beautiful islands is that the first one, Nusa Penida, has remained untouched by the waves of mass tourism and is less developed in terms of basic infrastructure.
The sure thing is that you can have a taste of what Bali was like before the crowds discovered it.
Nusa Penida is definitely off the beaten track and the wild one! Another reason why you should pack your bags and explore the island while it is still authentic.
Compared to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan is rather small and more touristic. Even though it is very quiet compared to any other destination in Bali, Lembongan is the most lively of the Nusa Islands. It features more cafes, restaurants, and nightlife going on.
At first, Lembongan was mainly known for its great surfing spots. It has white sand and turquoise blue beaches that are also good for swimming. You will hear a lot about Dream Beach and Mushroom Bay, which are also great spots to have some local food and drinks.
If you're more of an adventurer, head to some great cliff viewpoints, such as the Devil's Tears!
Nusa Lembongan is also known for its relatively lively nightlife. There are regular live music events in a good few bars on the island, a lot of them being on Jalan Raya Jungut Batu or in the beachfront area.
You can visit a mangrove forest on a dugout, offering a different and fascinating perspective of the island.
🚤 How To Get To Nusa Penida From Bali?
Most boat companies operate from mainland Bali. To be more precise, you can leave from the ports of Sanur, Kusamba, Padang Bai or Serangan – which are all on Bali’s East Coast.
Generally, Sanur is the most convenient port because it is within easy reach from Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu, and the international airport. Boats depart in the morning as well as in the afternoon.
In the port of Sanur, you can buy your ticket directly from several offices or simply get it online. Booking ahead is advised, but if you leave it to the last minute, your Bali hotel can also organise transfers for you. Usually, it's at the price of a small commission for the extra service.
The price for a single boat trip can vary between US$20 and US$40 per person (280,000 to 550,000 IDR) – depending on the company.
Buying a round-trip ticket can be significantly cheaper, so plan your stay, and if not sure, pay some extra to get the option to change the return date by purchasing an open ticket.
Leaving from Padang Bai can be better for those staying in the East of Bali, such as Sidemen, and Amed.
If you like to travel like the locals (and for a cheaper rate!), you can catch the public ferry departing from Padang Bai. The ticket is around 30,000 IDR (US$2). The catch? It can take up to 1.5 hours and might not be the most comfortable ride.
If you choose this option, be ready to be flexible with your schedule. Just roll with the Bali flow! Curiously, the perception of time is so particular in Indonesia that they have an expression for it: “jam karet”, which means “rubber time”! So, don’t be surprised if you encounter delays of any sort; it all comes included in the package!
As part of their services, some boat companies can also organise to pick you up from the harbour and take you to your hotel in Nusa Penida. Be sure to check out my comprehensive guide on how to get to Nusa Penida.
🛵 How To Get Around Nusa Penida?
After the boat trip from Bali, you will either arrive at Buyuk, Toya Pakeh, or Sampalan ports.
There is no public transport on Nusa Penida, so you will need to hire a scooter or a private driver to roam around the island during your stay.
You can do this either at the harbor, where locals will offer you their services, such as a personal driver or scooter rental, among other things.
Otherwise, just ask the staff at your hotel, they will take care of everything. The scooter will generally be delivered the next day to your hotel, which can be super convenient!
I like to go with a secure provider and can recommend using the Nusa Penida Scooter Rental via Klook!
Klook.comThe price of a scooter rental is slightly more pricey than in Bali.
Count at least 70,000 to 80,000 IDR (around US$5) per day. To get a full petrol tank, you should budget around 50,000 IDR (US$3,5), depending on your driving style.
Additional Tips for Driving a Scooter in Nusa Penida
One thing to bear in mind is that Nusa Penida is still a pretty wild destination, not as developed as other Indonesian islands in terms of tourism infrastructure.
This implies that the roads are not the greatest (not to say bad), so make sure you wear safety gear like long pants and a helmet, and mindful driving is ticked on your list. For me, this kind of makes traveling around all the spots a real adventure!
You can also hire a driver and go in the comfort of a car with air-con. The average cost is around 500,000 IDR per day (US$35) and includes unlimited smiles!
Whatever you decide to do, I highly recommend you get travel insurance for your trip, because you never know what may happen on the road!
Final Words on Where To Stay in Nusa Penida
So, where to stay in Nusa Penida?
In a nutshell, the island's North and West coast parts tend to be the busiest.
That is where the ports are and plenty of popular attractions, such as viewpoints, beaches, diving and snorkeling spots, cafes and restaurants. Consequently, it is a bit more lively. Stay here if you like infrastructure and convenience.
But in terms of beauty and viewpoints, the East has nothing to envy to the rest of the island. It is merely a bit quieter.
Why not stay a few days in each area of Nusa Penida?
I can tell you that traveling to Nusa Penida is a super cool experience if you like nature, adventure, local culture, and when you're not looking for nightlife. The island has a lot to offer due to its wild beauty.
However, transferring from A to B is a bit more challenging due to the conditions of the roads, and it all gets worse during the wet season.
What I like about Nusa Penida is that you can book your stay with a local family, sleep in a traditional Indonesian hut, and enjoy life at a slow pace, free from any worries.
