Broken Beach in Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia

Let's be real—the beaches in Bali are beautiful, but the ones in Nusa Penida?

That's a whole new vibe.

This off-the-beaten-path island, part of the Bali province, is where nature gets a little wild, and the sights are nothing short of epic.

With its rugged cliffs and crystal-clear waters, the island offers an escape from Bali's busier tourist hubs.

The name 'Nusa Penida' translates to 'island of priests,' and historically, it served as a spiritual retreat, with temples and rituals that locals still honour today.
