When it comes to traveling to Nusa Penida Bali, people have various financial plan for their trip. For a solo traveler, planning on a low-cost trip might be efficient. Meanwhile, other travelers enjoy a high-class trip with a lot of grand activities. Whatever kind of trip you want to have, Nusa Penida can accommodate all travelers with different kind of rates.

There are many types of housing in Nusa Penida, starting from a budget hotel to a luxury villa. Each type of accommodation has its own attractiveness. The service might be different, but you will find different experiences as well when you choose to stay at a budget hotel or a luxurious villa.

 

Rates & Services

The main difference between a budget hotel and a luxury villa is the rates. As the name implies, a budget hotel is more affordable and provide rooms for visitors at a low-cost price. There are a lot of rooms in a budget hotel and you will have to share some services with other guests, such as the swimming pool or the garden area. Your room will be your only private space, but it is enough to get a rest.

A luxury villa is more private and spacious. The rates are more expensive too. You’re not only renting a room, but also the entire villa including the kitchen, living room, and the pool. If you look at what kind of services you get when staying in a villa, it is worth the money. It is reasonable for a hotel to be more budget-friendly because guests will have to share most services with other guests.

 

Locations

A lot of accommodation in Nusa Penida is located near the beach. However, most luxury villas were built in a highland. It is more quiet, secluded, and gives a more relaxing atmosphere.

Even though most villas are located on a highland, you can still watch the view of the sea from the hill around Nusa Penida. The highland are not too high. Some villas even have an infinity pool, an outdoor pool that overlooks the sea and looks like it doesn’t have boundaries. It can be a thrilling experience to swim at a private infinity pool in a luxurious villa.

Budget hotels are usually located in a more strategic area. To reach the main beach, you won’t have to spend a lot of time traveling with a rented vehicle. Some budget hotels are really near to the beach. You can just walk there or rent a bicycle to travel from your hotel to the beach.

 

Experiences & Environment

Every type of accommodation gives a different kind of experience. When you stay in a budget hotel, you will have more opportunities to get to know the locals of Nusa Penida who lives around the hotel. When you take a walk to the beach or looking for food from the nearby food stall, you will get a chance to interact with other people. You can’t have this kind of experience if you stay at a villa.

Most villas in Nusa Penida are private. People who stay at luxury villas usually enjoy a quiet environment. Staying at a villa is right for you if you wish to have a getaway and take a break by enjoying nature. If you are looking for a private place to stay when traveling to Nusa Penida, a luxury villa might be the perfect option for you.
