Batu Karang Lembongan Resort

A half-hour speedboat from Bali's east coast, Nusa Lembongan offers everything its famous neighbor does, minus the traffic and the crowds. This cliff-edge resort has villas and suites in that familiar Balinese blend of modernist and traditional, most with plunge pools, outdoor baths, or terraces facing Mount Agung across the strait. Three pools, a full spa, serious surf breaks, and excellent diving keep the days full without requiring you to fight for a sun lounger with half of Europe.
