A holiday is more than just a getaway—it’s a chance to reset both body and mind. With wellness becoming a key part of travel, many now seek destinations that offer more than just sightseeing.

Despite its compact size, Nusa Lembongan has plenty to offer beyond its famous surf breaks. The island’s laid-back vibe, natural beauty, and welcoming community make it an ideal place to unwind and embrace a more mindful way of living.

Whether you’re looking to move, relax, or nourish your body, here are some of the top wellness experiences to enjoy during your stay.

Yoga in Nusa Lembongan

Several yoga shalas are scattered across the island, but two stand out for their unique offerings.

Island Yoga, located in Jungutbatu, runs daily drop-in classes in the morning and afternoon, catering to all levels. In addition to traditional yoga sessions, they offer special experiences like sound journeys, gong relaxation, cacao ceremonies, and hammock soundscapes. For a truly magical experience, their Float Soundbath Under the Stars lets you drift on an air mattress in a swimming pool while immersed in the vibrations of sound healing instruments. The studio’s semi-open setting in a tucked-away alley creates an intimate and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both beginners and seasoned yogis.

For those looking for a deeper practice, Yoga Bliss offers retreats and yoga teacher training. Their flexible retreat packages start any day of the year, with options ranging from 4 to 10 days. These include unlimited yoga classes, daily breakfast, and a choice of surf lessons, snorkelling, or private yoga sessions. Yoga Bliss is also a highly regarded centre for yoga teacher training, offering 200-hour and 300-hour certifications led by experienced trainers based on the island.

Spa in Nusa Lembongan

If your idea of wellness leans more towards relaxation than movement, you’re in for a treat.

Nusa Lembongan is home to one of the most picturesque spas in Bali Spring Spa, located in Jungutbatu. Spring Spa is a sanctuary for the senses, boasting an ocean-facing treatment area and 10 private spa villas. With its postcard-perfect setting, it’s easy to lose track of time as you sink into pure relaxation. Offering a variety of treatments—including facials, massages, nail services, and full spa packages—this is the ultimate spot to recharge. The best times to visit are in the morning or late afternoon, as the midday sun can be quite intense.

For those staying near Sandy Bay, Glo Day Spa provides a serene escape within the Sandy Bay Beach Club compound. Offering a range of face, body, and beauty treatments, it’s an ideal place to unwind after a day in the sun or a surf session.

Fitness, Sauna & Ice Bath

If you prefer to break a sweat, several accommodations, such as The Tamarind Resort, Lembongan Beach Club, and Batu Karang, have on-site fitness centres. There are also independent gyms, like Three Monkeys, a new beachfront gym in Jungutbatu that features a recovery zone with a sauna and ice bath—perfect for post-workout recovery.

One of the island’s hidden gems, Lago Beach Café, also offers a sauna and ice bath on its Sun Deck. For IDR 250,000, you can purchase a day pass and enjoy your recovery session while watching the waves and the sunset.

Nusa Lembongan is also set to welcome two padel courts later this year, further expanding the island’s fitness options.

Healthy Eats

Indulging is part of the holiday experience, but that doesn’t mean you have to abandon healthy eating. The island is home to several restaurants that cater to wellness-conscious travellers.

For plant-based options, The Playful Table at Morin Resort, Ginger & Jamu, and Bali Eco Deli serve nourishing meals packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients. If you’re craving Indonesian cuisine, Dapur Kecil and Warung Kecil offer delicious home-cooked meals free from MSG, with plenty of vegetable-based dishes available.

More Than Just Surfing

While Nusa Lembongan is known for its world-class waves, wellness seekers will find that the island has just as much to offer beyond the surf. Whether it’s deepening your yoga practice, indulging in a spa retreat, sweating it out at the gym, or enjoying nourishing meals, there are plenty of ways to recharge and reconnect with yourself. Despite its small size, the island delivers a well-rounded wellness experience—proof that paradise isn’t just about the beach, but also about balance.
