Nusa Penida Island’s road network has undergone a significant refurbishment, including the road that encircles the island. This road runs along the entire north coast from Toyapakeh to Suana, travels up to Atuh Beach and Tanglad, crosses the entire island, and eventually leads to a fork towards the recently renovated Crystal Bay Beach.
It takes at least half a day to go from Bali to Gili islands one way. You only have 2 full days. If you dive, you need to have 24 hours before you could fly. Where you stay in Balil? Airport to Pemuteran (entrance to Menjangan island) is about 4 hours drive one way. Nusa Lembongan/Nusa Penida is only 30 minutes or so away by fast boat from Sanur.36 posts. 2. Re: Lombok vs Gili Islands. 4 years ago. Save. If you are come with the flight so I recommend you to stay in Kuta Lombok for 3 Nights for the best beach (Beach Tour), Snorkeling Tour In Secret Gilis and Snorkeling Tour In Pink Beach because they are near by from Kuta then you could move to Gili Islands or Senggigi.
