Pros

  • Nusa Penida will have that relaxed beach vibe as well. Particularly if you scuba dive, a liveaboard in Komodo was one of my favorite experiences.
  • For Nusa Penida and Lembongan, I think 3-4 days should be enough. Isn't it better to do 2 weeks in Lombok? You'll have to go to Lombok anyway to reach Gili Trawangan, and it's a hidden gem with stunning beaches, mighty volcano, and also...
  • definitely go to the gili islands and Nusa Penida. i can only speak for Penida as i didn’t go to any of the other Nusa islands, but they were some of the most beautiful places i’ve been
  • the dives around Nusa Penida are also amazing.
  • Took the fast boat service from Sanur to reach the island, spent the full day exploring market and beach area. Next day, booked scooter and went to kelingking beach, relaxed for few hours and returned b4 sunset, had dinner at beach side...

Cons

  • For example, heavy traffic caused by tour groups is an issue even in Nusa Penida and Ubud. The south of Bali is all like that
  • I really absolutely don’t think Nusa Penida is feasible under these conditions. And it’s going to take aaaaageeeeeees to get from Ubud to Uluwatu. Same goes for the way to and from the port to get to Nusa Penida. Bali traffic is insane.
