Bali Bliss 2024

Getting from Bali to Nusa Lembongan takes about 30 minutes by fast boat departing from Sanur harbour. There are several trips from Bali to Lembongan throughout the day. See fast boat timetable here or alternatively our accomodation is happy to arrange your boat transfers from Bali to Nusa Lembongan and return if you contact them directly here.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Indonesia and you must have proof of onward passage (either return or through tickets). If you cannot fulfil both of these requirements, you may not be allowed to enter.

Australian Passport holders are able to secure a Free Tourism Visa on Arrival (VOA). This can be obtained at the Airport in Bali but to avoid delays, we would strongly suggest securing this online as an E- VOA at least 48 hours before you travel. You can apply here.

From 14 February 24, the Bali Provincial Government will apply a new tourist levy of IDR 150,000 per person (around $15 AUD) to foreign tourists entering Bali. The tourist levy is separate from the e-Visa on Arrival or the Visa on Arrival. Cashless payments can be made online here prior to travel or on arrival at designated payment counters at Bali's airport.

The water in the resort is pumped from the onsite bore to a holding tank, through a Desalination Plant and RO Treatment to provide fresh water. This fresh water is stored in a 90 000 litre underground tank for distribution through showers, basins, kitchens and bars. (The WC water comes from the holding tank before treatment.)

While this means the resort’s water is fresh for use in kitchens and their onsite hydroponic gardens, I would still strongly advise to drink only bottled water during our stay.

The new East Bali Medical Clinic servicing primarily tourists. Doctors also do Resort visits if necessary. While there is a hospital on the island, for any serious injuries we suggest heading to Bali as soon as possible to seek the appropriate medical attention as well as liasing with the Australian Embassy. For minor issues/sickness, our resort can organise the doctor to see you in your room for a fee. There is a small chemist in the village on the main road, which offers basic medications as well as a First Aid Kit at Reception.

This is similar to VAT or GST except there is a service element included. 10% is Service Charge and then 10% on this is Government Tax. (eg. 100 +10% = 110. 110 +10% = 121) The service charge component goes straight to the staff. By staying at places that charge the 21% we are ensuring that a good portion of our money is directly benefiting the local community. Base wages in Indonesia are not large and so this contribution means that staff can earn better wages. This charge is covered in your package for accomodation, activities, breakfast and dinners. Any other purchases you make during our stay will incur this charge.

Feel free to arrive any time on Tuesday 10th of Sept as the retreat itinerary itself will begin on the morning of Wednesday 11th Sept.

On the Tuesday Night we’ll meet for a Retreat Brief around 6pm Bali time then have dinner together. Don’t worry if you’re not in by then, a copy will be placed on your bed.
