Wake Up to Paradise at Diamond Beach and Explore Nusa Penida’s Hidden East

Some places don’t just take your breath away — they reset your soul. That’s exactly what happens when you wake up early, stand at the edge of a limestone cliff, and watch the first golden rays of sunlight pour over Diamond Beach in Nusa Penida. It’s quiet. It’s powerful. It feels like the world is starting over just for you.

And that’s only the beginning of what Nusa Penida’s east side has to offer.

With Nusa Penida Holiday, you can dive into a one-day tour of Nusa Penida’s lesser-known but equally stunning eastern gems. From tree houses on cliffs to untouched beaches and dramatic viewpoints, this is the side of the island that most tourists miss — but those who go never forget.

Why Explore the East Side?

Most visitors to Nusa Penida flock to the west side for famous spots like Kelingking Beach. But the east coast? It’s quieter, wilder, and still holds that untouched charm of a Bali that’s becoming harder to find. The landscapes are surreal, the crowds are fewer, and the views? Unreal.

This is your chance to experience Nusa Penida differently — through dramatic coastlines, cliffs that stretch into the clouds, and hidden paths that lead to nature’s artwork.

Your One-Day East Nusa Penida Adventure

1. Diamond Beach: Sunrise in a Hidden Paradise

Your day starts early, and trust us — it’s worth every second of sleep you sacrifice.

You’ll arrive at Diamond Beach just in time to watch the sunrise. From the top of the cliff, you’ll see the first rays light up the sparkling white sand below. The beach is surrounded by towering cliffs and sharp rock formations that rise like diamonds from the ocean, giving the beach its name.

You can choose to hike down the carved stone steps for a closer look or simply stay up top and soak in the view. Either way, this moment will stay with you.

Travel tip: Wear proper shoes — the trail down is steep but manageable with care.

2. Atuh Beach: The Wild, Serene Sister

Just around the corner from Diamond Beach is Atuh Beach, another hidden paradise. This crescent-shaped beach is framed by majestic cliffs and rock arches, creating a scene so cinematic it could be a movie backdrop.

The water here is calm, clear, and perfect for a quick swim or a peaceful walk along the shore. Unlike the more famous west coast beaches, Atuh offers tranquility — you might even get the place all to yourself.

Pro tip: This beach is best visited during low tide. Your Nusa Penida Holiday guide will time it perfectly for you.

3. Tree House Molenteng: A View Worth Climbing For

Next stop — one of the most Instagrammed spots on the island: the Tree House Molenteng.

Perched on the edge of a cliff, this humble wooden tree house overlooks the jagged cliffs and turquoise sea of Thousand Islands viewpoint. It’s a steep climb, but once you’re up there, it feels like you’re floating above the ocean.

Whether you’re snapping that perfect shot or just taking a moment to breathe, this spot is a dream.

Fun fact: You can even stay overnight here if you want to wake up with this view!

4. Thousand Islands Viewpoint (Pulau Seribu)

A short walk from the tree house takes you to the Thousand Islands Viewpoint, where you’ll witness one of the most majestic views in Nusa Penida. Dozens of tiny limestone islands rise out of the water, scattered like stepping stones across the sea.

Standing here, with the ocean breeze in your face and the horizon stretching endlessly before you, is a humbling and unforgettable moment.
