True to its name, the views from the karst landscape form the shape of a diamond, and to reach the white sandy part, travelers must go down a steep stone staircase equipped with railings.

When it comes to choosing which hidden beach in Bali to visit, Nusa Penida’s Diamond Beach is a more untouched version than its counterpart.

While Atuh Beach makes available colorful beach umbrellas, food stalls, and toilets, Diamond Beach is less about facilities and more about natural landscapes.
