About Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is an island near Bali, separated from it by the Badung Strait. It forms a district of the same name in Klungkung Regency, which also includes the nearby islands of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan and eleven smaller islands. The island is hilly, rising to 524 m, and its climate is drier than Bali's; like Bali, it is a major tourist destination. Its Balinese name literally translates as "island of priests".
