If you are coming from Sanur, we recommend you to stay near the port. There are a few options in Nusa Penida for accommodations from guesthouses and inns to nice hotels and resorts.

Room rates start at ($15-20 USD) for a private room with bathroom. You can get a modest room for this price and comes with pretty good internet connection. I mean, sure, there’s internet signal but don’t expect high speeds when in Nusa Penida.

The first time we visited Nusa Penida a year ago, we stayed near the local port coming from Padang Bai and prices were much cheaper then. We found a room for only $10 USD. We highly recommend staying near the port since it’s very convenient to travel from here.
