Is this possibly the bluest water in the world? I think it is safe to say that Blue Lagoon Nusa Ceningan takes the cake on this one! There are 3 Nusa Islands to explore and they are easily accessible by a fast boat from the mainland Bali. I booked my trip through The Lembongan Traveller via their website.
Curious to know what Camera Gear & Travel Essentials I carry while backpacking around the world? I have put together THIS LIST of items to consider packing on your next adventure!
WHERE IS BLUE LAGOON NUSA CENINGAN
Blue Lagoon is located on Ceningan Island which sits between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. If you are staying on Lembongan, you can access Ceningan Island via the yellow bridge that connects the two islands. I rented a scooter for 50,000 Rupiah per day and that gave me the freedom to explore all the awesome locations on Ceningan Island myself.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT BLUE LAGOON NUSA CENINGAN
The Blue Lagoon on Ceningan Island is a cliff jumping haven for those adventurous, thrill seekers out there. Follow the cliff edge around to the rocky point on the eastern side of the lagoon. There are remains of what used to be a bar from where people would hang out for the day in between swimming and cliff jumping.
There is a range of cliff jumping heights starting at 4 meters and finishing at 13 meters. We had all intentions of jumping from the cliffs on Ceningan Island this day although the waves were too big and there was a lot of water moving around. Make sure to assess the situation before jumping because the only exit out of the blue lagoon is to climb up a small cliff face and back to dry land.
It is possible to jump on either low tide and high tide as the water at this location is deep enough for a smooth landing. I would advise making sure you have a buddy with you in case things get hairy. Know your own limits and take care.

OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST NEAR BLUE LAGOON CENINGAN
Once we were done exploring Blue Lagoon Ceningan for a few hours, my friends and I decided to head over to Mahana Beach on the scooters, which is a 2-minute drive to the opposite side of the headland. The Mahana Point Cliff Jump is another epic location to throw your self over the edge of a 10-meter cliff into the ocean. I had some crazy fun at these 2 awesome cliff jumping spots and then topped it off with a surf at Mahana Point.
NUSA LEMBONGAN ACCOMMODATION
Nusa Lembongan has hundreds of accommodations to choose from so I have narrowed it down to a few of my personal favourite places to stay that caters for luxury travellers to budget backpackers. See the list of accommodations below that I personally recommend:
- Luxury: The Tamarind Resort
- Mid Range: Pandana Boutique Hotel
- Budget: Risna Homestay

NUSA LEMBONGAN – THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
The Nusa Islands is a trio of islands just 30 minutes by boat from mainland Bali. From my experience having visiting all 3 islands, I recommend spending at least 3 nights on Nusa Lembongan, a day trip to Nusa Ceningan and then at least 3-4 nights on Nusa Penida. This will give you plenty of time to enjoy all the awesome spots the Nusa Islands has to offer!
