The beach clubs in Nusa Lembongan are small-island stuff, not a Bali party strip. This little island sits a 30-minute fast boat from Sanur, and there are 9 worth knowing, most of them right on the sand. Prices are low, and many charge no entry, just a small minimum spend for a bed.
The mood is laid-back. Sunbeds and daybeds run roughly IDR 200k to 500k in minimum spend, with a few spots charging nothing at all. Peak season mirrors Bali, roughly June to September, plus the New Year window.
Venues cluster in three spots. Jungutbatu Beach on the northwest coast is the main strip, calm Mushroom Bay sits just south, and Sandy Bay faces the open ocean near the Devil's Tears blowholes. Most people arrive by boat from Sanur, and for the wider scene, see our guide to Indonesia.

Where are the beach clubs in Nusa Lembongan?
They cluster in three areas. Jungutbatu Beach, the main northwest strip, has Ohana's Beach Club, Sea Sky and Waka Beach Club on the sand, with Karana on the hill above the harbour.
Calm Mushroom Bay just south holds Le Nusa Beach Club, d'Nusa and Hai Tide. Over on the west coast, Sandy Bay faces the open ocean near Devil's Tears, and The Pontoon by Lago floats offshore over the reef.
Which Nusa Lembongan beach club is best for sunset?
The whole island faces west, so most spots deliver. Ohana's Beach Club runs a nightly bonfire, and its west-facing sand gets the clearest view on the main beach.
For something more scenic, Sandy Bay looks straight out over the open ocean, and Karana takes it up to a hilltop infinity pool with Mount Agung behind. The Pontoon by Lago is the offbeat pick, a floating bar you swim out to.
Jungutbatu Beach is the busy heart of the scene, a long stretch of sand on the northwest coast.
Ohana's Beach Club
Ohana's Beach Club is the island's biggest and most established club, right on Jungutbatu Beach and open from 6:30am until late. It's an easy all-day place, families by day and a livelier crowd after dark.
There are two pools, a beachfront infinity pool ringed by daybeds and a resort pool with a swim-up bar. Upstairs holds a wood-fired pizzeria and a rooftop sunset bar, plus a sports bar and a kids' playground. DJs and live acoustic music land on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Beach beanbags are free. Sunbeds carry a small IDR 200k minimum spend, daybeds IDR 500k, all first come first served. A beach bonfire runs nightly at sunset.

Sea Sky Restaurant & Beach Club
Sea Sky is the beach club and restaurant at Lembongan Beach Club & Resort, also on Jungut Batu Beach. It's built around a 20-metre infinity pool with direct beachfront access.
The menu runs Indonesian and international, and the sunset dinners here are some of the island's best. Non-guests can visit on a day pass, sold through Bali Beach Club Pass, and staying guests get free stand-up paddleboarding.
It's a good pick for couples and families who want a pool day with proper food. Open 7am to 10pm, with mid-range spend.
Waka Beach Club
Waka Beach Club is the quiet one on Jungut Batu, run by Waka Hotels. It's calmer than the busier venues nearby, unhurried and low-key.
There's a pool, daybeds, sunloungers and umbrellas on white sand, plus a signature beach treehouse and a tiered open-air restaurant with ocean views. It works as a walk-in, with no entry fee and no online booking.
Open 10am to 7pm daily except Nyepi. Reach it by fast boat from Sanur, or on Waka's own catamaran from Benoa. Best for a slow resort pool day away from the crowds.
Above the harbour, the island's newest venue trades the sand for a hilltop.
Karana Lembongan
Karana Lembongan opened in late 2025 on Panorama Hill, above Jungutbatu harbour. It looks out over the beach, the turquoise bay and Mount Agung in the distance.
The design leans Mediterranean, built around an infinity pool with daybeds, plus a VIP lounge, big-screen sport and a pool table. It's one of the island's more stylish newer spots, aimed at long relaxed days rather than parties.
Daybeds carry a minimum spend from around IDR 1M, the priciest on the island. Open 11am till late, best saved for the sunset.
Round on the west coast, the sand faces the open ocean.
Sandy Bay Beach Club
Sandy Bay Beach Club sits on the west-coast cove of Sandy Bay, also called Sunset Beach, just around the corner from the Devil's Tears blowholes. It's rustic and relaxed, one of the island's most family-friendly clubs.
A beachfront infinity pool overlooks the bay, and the restaurant does Western and local dishes. It doubles as a small hotel and spa, with a playground, a children's pool and a kids' menu.
Sunbeds carry no minimum spend and open at 11am, first come first served, and entry is free. Open 7am to 11pm, with open-ocean sunset views straight ahead.

The Pontoon by Lago
The Pontoon by Lago is a floating bar moored about 80 metres off Lembongan, over live coral. It's billed as Bali's only reef-anchored bar, and it's fully solar powered.
You lounge on floating beanbags and shaded seating over clear water, with hard seltzers from IDR 75k and cocktails around IDR 150k. Snorkel gear is there, and there's a jump tower off the deck.
A free shuttle boat runs out from the Lago beachfront all day, or you can swim across from Dawn Beach in a few minutes. Open 12pm to 7pm, with a 4 to 5:30pm happy hour and no fixed minimum spend.
Down at the calm southern end, Mushroom Bay keeps things quiet.
Le Nusa Beach Club
Le Nusa Beach Club is a small hotel beach club a few steps back from Mushroom Beach, open to non-guests without a room booking. The mood is calm and family-friendly.
There are two pools including a children's pool, a beachfront seafood restaurant, a spa and daybed-style seating on the sand. Live music plays some evenings.
There's no entrance fee and no minimum spend, though resort guests get priority. It's a budget-friendly base for the quiet south end of the island.
d'Nusa Beach Club and Resort
d'Nusa Beach Club and Resort is an upscale resort club on calm Mushroom Bay, fronting the Lighthouse beach at the quieter southern end. It leans toward relaxed dining rather than DJ-driven days.
A beachfront infinity pool looks out to the sunset, backed by a poolside bar, the all-day Lighthouse Restaurant and a spa. Water sports like snorkelling and diving run from here too.
It works mainly as a hotel, so check current day-guest pool access and any minimum spend before you go. Best for a calm resort lunch by the water.
Hai Tide Beach Resort
Hai Tide Beach Resort is a beachfront resort on Mushroom Bay, home to the al fresco Hai Bar & Grill on the sand. There are two outdoor pools and a landscaped garden pool.
The kitchen does Balinese dishes, local seafood and wood-fired pizza with ocean views. The resort links to Bali Hai Cruises' pontoon out in the bay.
Day-out access leans toward resort guests and cruise day-trippers rather than walk-ins, so call ahead to confirm pool access. Best treated as a dining stop on the quiet bay.
Frequently asked questions about Nusa Lembongan beach clubs
How much do beach clubs in Nusa Lembongan cost?
Less than mainland Bali. Most charge no entry, just a minimum spend for a bed, roughly IDR 200k to 500k at spots like Ohana's Beach Club. Newer Karana runs a premium daybed from around IDR 1M. Several places, including Sandy Bay and Le Nusa Beach Club, charge nothing for a sunbed at all.
Do you need to book beach clubs in Nusa Lembongan in advance?
For a sunbed, usually not. Most clubs are first come first served, and the island stays low-key even in peak season. Waka Beach Club takes walk-ins only, with no online booking. For a sunset dinner at Sea Sky or Sandy Bay in June to September, it's worth reserving a table ahead.
What is the best beach club in Nusa Lembongan?
Ohana's Beach Club is the all-round pick, the biggest and busiest, with two pools and a nightly bonfire on the main beach. For the best sunset, Sandy Bay faces the open ocean, and Karana takes it up to a hilltop infinity pool. The Pontoon by Lago is the fun, offbeat choice.
How do you get to Nusa Lembongan?
By fast boat. Public boats run from Sanur on Bali's southeast coast, taking about 30 minutes, and drop you near Jungutbatu Beach. From there it's a short walk or scooter ride to most clubs. Some resorts, like Waka Beach Club, also run their own boats from Benoa.
When is the best time to visit Nusa Lembongan beach clubs?
Peak season runs roughly June to September, plus the New Year window, matching Bali's dry season. That's when sunsets are clearest and the clubs are liveliest. Sunbeds fill up on the main beach by late afternoon, so arrive early for a front-line spot near the water.
