Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Day Spa - Nusa Lembongan

In the midst of chaos we hear familiarity, Aussie slang greets us from every corner; 'G'day mate' and 'how you goin' surround BALI'S, Kuta shopping strip like wildfire.
We are amazed and delighted at the remote and raw feeling that still lingers in the distance. A tiny island off Bali's east coast, Nusa Lembongan is Bali bliss. The scoot cruise boat, scoots us across the open waters to our own tiny piece of heaven. Arriving with bright eyes into a reef port, dotted like salt and pepper are brightly coloured local fishing boats. Tiny 4 ft. local woman swarm like bees to honey, grabbing our surf board bags and anything else we may 'try' to carry is kindly taken from us. The heavy loaded bags sit perfectly balanced on the tops of their heads and without effort they are gone, following quickly behind like ants and our jaws still on the ground. The local men don't seem to batter an eyelid and mull about uselessly as the woman seem to do all the heavy lifting!
We are staying in luxury at a place I remember vividly, Batu Karang Lembongan Resort and Day Spa. A luxurious resort that overlooks a luminescent reef break and volcanic island in the distance. A lap pool outside our front door is perfect as the rolling reef breaks one after the other.
The nights are warm, as if the sky has a blanket snuggled around your shoulders and we delight in dining al fresco as our minds wander back to what will greet us when we return home to the Aussie winter.
The Resorts restaurant is fresh as we dine poolside, with an offer of seafood, meats and vegetarian fare. The wine is divine enough that is warms our souls even more, if that could be possible.
The Australian owned resort is fresh and filled with warm smiles and knowledge of the local area. It's complete luxury making you feel right at home. Departing is hard so make sure your stay is lengthy enough to explore the twin Islands; snorkeling, swimming, cruising on motorbikes, surfing, sipping cocktails and lounging luxuriously like lizards by the refreshing pools just to wet your palette.
