Stayed in July 2022.  Originally had 4 nights .. chose to cut it to two.
The hotel is in a stunning location.  The rooms are super clean and very pleasant.  Wooden framed so a little thin walled!
In July 2022 the restaurant was NOT functioning. So there was no lunch or dinner service.  There are some very good little restaurants  locally (within a 10 minute walk or pay for hotel "cart").
Aside from the pool there were no other facilities to talk of.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Be warned .. there is a local mosque that has calls to prayer 5 or so times a day starting at around 5am!  Their speaker system is very audible!
With no restaurant/bar and limited other facilities (and the unsolicited 5am wake up calls) .. a poor 3 stars .. a shame as it could be such a nice place to stay!

We didn’t know where to stay and found this place while walking around, we just showed up at reception. The staff was extremely welcoming and gave us a wonderful room. It’s not too expensive, the view is outstanding and so is the pool!
Very nice breakfast as well, best pancakes I had so far! I would have loved to stay longer.
Special mention to Ali at reception who was great :)

Room was clean and nice,staff was friendly, good location. It had some flaws though. Shower and sink drain were clogged, which was not fixed after informing staff. The wifi is very bad, it keeps disconnecting after which you have to re-register to gain access. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. The breakfast is really incomplete and is run by some seemingly inexperienced staff, if you ask for something the staff is unable to help because their English is not the best. You get charged extra for more coffee in included breakfast. The restaurant also has no lunch or dinner or bar so this hotel sometimes feels like a ghost town.

I would not call this a 4-star hotel. Its not worth the price. The problems seem to reflect poor management as the staff is really nice.

Star Semabu Resort

7F82+R4, Sakti, Nusa Penida, Klungkung Regency, Bali 80771, Indonesia

It is a very scenic place. Definitely visit if you are the island. It is one of the biggest natural bridges I have ever seen. There is a lot to work but you will also get sweet coconut water along the way. You can get very aesthetic pictures clicked and spend a lot of time at this place. The water is so clear and blue that it is unbelievable. Everyday is hot you will definitely need a hat umbrella along with a big bottle of water. Definitely where is breezy clothes and apply rod of sunscreen otherwise you will get sun tan and sun burn.

It’s a really one of the best beaches I have ever seen. The view is just beautiful and mesmerising. Quite an experience I must say. Reaching their requires a bit of walk and it can be bit exhausting during summer. So keep yourself hydrated. There are many food outlets to get something to eat and drink so don’t worry about it. Take you time to recharge yourself and enjoy the beautiful view.

Beautiful spot to take scenic shots while you are here. Best to go early in the morning as it wont be so hot. There are fold stalls there serving local food.

Broken Beach

Bunga Mekar, Nusa Penida, Klungkung Regency, Bali, Indonesia

It is a beach on the west coast of Nusa Penida, which is the most popular of the island.
Near the beach there are many restaurants, bars and cafeterias, but none of them have view at the beach, but just view at the sea.
Only the hill above the beach offers a view at the beach and luckily there are plenty of spots up the hill to enjoy the view and take great pictures.
Even more than the beach, we liked that there are monkeys living on the hill that pass among the tourists! It should be noted that they are wild monkeys and that they are not used to the presence of human beings in their area.

Absolutely gorgeous! Beware of the winding and narrow roads, especially if you are prone to carsick. Definitely worth going for the views though. Make sure to wear slippers and easy to dry clothes as you have to wade into the sea to get to the ferry.

Oh my God, where should I start....Kelingking beach is hands down the MOST BEAUTIFUL and spectacular beach I ever been to. Pictures do not do this place justice. You MUST see it for yourself.
However, that being said, the trek down the beach is not for the faint hearted, elderly, children or those who are physically inactive. The entire trek takes about 30 to 40 minutes (one way) depending on stamina and human traffic.
Midway, there are proper steps and railing. Thank God and bless the kind souls who set up the railing. Although it looks sturdy, I would not trust my life entirely on them.
The other half is natural mountain stones or some say broken steps. Railing still continues but at certain parts, the railing could be out of range and you need to use the ropes provided so this is where the challenge starts. The steps are very steep and narrow. The trick is to bend your knees and sometimes, you will find it easier to climb down as if descending a ladder. Depending on the individual, the climb back up could be less or more taxing as you need your upper body strength.
But trust me, the hike is worth it!

The waters are an azure blue, the sun is kissing your skin, and with white powdery sand caressing your toes...its easy to get wrap up in this timeless beauty. It almost feel as if you are living in Avatar, The Way of the Water movie set...!

So, pump up those muscles and descend upon Heaven on Earth, Kelingking beach...💕😍🥰

Kelingking Beach Nusa Penida

Tappa imperdibile a mio avviso se visitate Bali, ma è necessario starci almeno una notte per vederla bene e non fare tutto di corsa.

In my opinion, an unmissable stop if you visit Bali, but it is necessary to stay there at least one night to see it well and not do everything in a hurry.

A journey that I will always carry in my heart together with the smiles and kindness of the Balinese. I realized by visiting it, why it is called "the island of the Gods." It is true it is very far from Italy. But it's wonderful.

The island of the Gods (exists): Bali

Un viaggio che porterò per sempre nel mio cuore insieme ai sorrisi e alla gentilezza dei Balinesi. Mi sono resa conto visitandola, perché è chiamata “l’isola degli Dei.” È vero è molto lontana dall’Italia. Ma è meravigliosa.
