Bali Bliss 2026

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. Our hotel recommends Dstar, Rocky & Kai Koa services, alternatively they can arrange your boat transfers from Bali to Nusa Lembongan and return if you contact them directly here.

Your passport must be damage free and 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 B1 Tourism Visa on Arrival (VOA) for $500 IDR (around $45AUD). 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. It You can apply here.

You’ll also need to complete the new arrival card for all international passengers within 72 hours (3 days) of your travel to Indonesia. The arrival card and e-VOA can be completed through the All Indonesia website here.

Foreign tourists entering Bali are subject to a tourist levy of IDR 150,000 (around $15AUD) per person. 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.)

This means the resort filtered water is safe to drink, however outside of the resort I would still strongly advise to drink only bottled water during our stay. If you’re worried, I can also recommend purchasing Travelan- a preventative medication for food and waterborne bacteria- works a treat!

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.

We recommend flying into Denpasar on Monday 7th of Sept and staying overnight at one of the airport hotels- catching the ferry to Nusa Lembongan the next day.

Kate stays at the Hilton Garden Inn Bali Ngurah Rai Airport for around $75 per night. This allows you some time to freshen up after your flight, use the pool, have a lovely breakfast and head to the ferries with plenty of time. It also buys you a buffer in case of flight delays.

Then feel free to arrive to our Resort on Nusa Lembongan any time on Tuesday 8th of Sept as the retreat itinerary itself will begin on the morning of Wednesday 9th 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 of our itinerary will be placed on your bed.
