From the funky bar on the walkway through the main pool and dining areas and up the slope to the spa, second pool and lap pool, everything about Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Day Spa speaks of quality. Unlike other resorts on this steep hillside, there are golf buggies to bring you to your door. The landscaping and interior furnishings of the villas are all tasteful and well maintained, as you might expect from a resort owned and designed by an Australian architect.
Accommodation ranges from twin share rooms to fully equipped villas, all of which enjoy great views over the bay and towards Mount Agung. The resort is a popular wedding spot as well as being favoured by the more mature and/or demanding surfers and divers who require quality accommodation for themselves or their family, when staying at Nusa Lembongan for some scuba diving in Bali.

1 divemaster is provided for every 4 divers. The dive boats have Emox (max. 1 hour usage) onboard and more oxygen back at the dive centre. All DMs are trained oxygen providers.
Divers are required to have completed at least 50 dives to be able to dive Blue Corner due to the strong currents.
There is a clinic and small hospital in Jungut Batu village, 1 km from the dive centre which is staffed by Indonesian doctors.

| Customer reviews: |
"The owners were extremely helpful and really nice, even looking after our coral cuts and recommending other places to dive in Bali. The service was quite efficient and they even provided snacks in the surface interval! We only got to do 2 dives a day instead of 3 though, I think due to the low season and current." - Sonia Kua, Australia ...
