Where to Stay on Nusa Lembongan
Do what you love every day.
At Scuba Center Asia, we keep our focus 100% on diving and on making your stay an amazing experience from start to finish. The beauty of our Mushroom Bay location is that you’ll find everything from cozy budget guesthouses to boutique villas just steps away from our dive center. No long transfers, no hassle, you wake up and you’re already in the heart of the action.
Being based in Mushroom Bay also means you’re in the most central, most beautiful part of Nusa Lembongan. It’s a short walk to the beach, just around the corner from Dream Beach, and only a scooter ride from Ceningan Island and the iconic Yellow Bridge. You’ll enjoy the relaxed island vibe here, away from the busy, noisy Jungut Batu area, but still close to everything that makes Lembongan legendary.
For Fun Divers & Travelers
You’re spoiled for choice. Around Mushroom Bay, you’ll find:
- Budget stays: simple, clean guesthouses perfect for backpackers.
- Mid-range hotels: comfy rooms with pools and island vibes.
- Boutique villas: stylish hideaways with a touch of luxury.
We’ve been part of this community for years, so we know the places that deliver. Book your dives with us and we’ll point you to the best options for your style and budget.
For Dive Pro Candidates
Here’s where we do things differently. As a PADI 5-Star IDC Center, we don’t just train dive pros, we live and breathe it. That’s why we offer:
- IDC Pro Room is right inside the dive center, so you stay close to the classroom, pool, and ocean.
- Special Divemaster accommodation deals with trusted local guesthouses, designed to keep your focus on diving, not logistics.
Because training at Scuba Center Asia isn’t just about passing exams, it’s about becoming part of the family, living the island lifestyle, and starting your career in the same place where legends are made.
Accommodation tips:
- Great Location: The guesthouses and boutique resorts we recommend are just a short walk from our dive resort.
- Free accommodation at our local partners for dive instructor candidates who join our PADI IDC.
- Local Connections: We’ve got great relationships with our neighbors, so we know the best spots for a comfy stay.
- Special Deals: If you’re doing the Divemaster course, we can help you get special monthly rates.
- Personal Picks: We’re happy to suggest places that will give you a great night’s sleep and a chill experience.
- Private bathroom & locker for valuables is available.
The Lounge | Your Island Living Room
Welcome to The Lounge, your island room and the heart of Scuba Center Asia. This is the place where divers, travelers, and locals come together. Think: relaxed, stylish, and filled with the sound of stories being shared after a day in the ocean.
Whether you’re here for your first morning coffee before a dive, a post-dive brunch, or a cheeky snack before sunset, this is where connections happen.
Breakfast, Brunch & Dutch Treats on Nusa Lembongan
Tucked away in Mushroom Bay, The Lounge is one of the few cafés in the area where you don’t need to queue for ages. We’re famous for our Dutch fries, loaded croissants, fresh salads, smoothie bowls, and island-style brunch plates.
Whether you need a quick espresso or breakfast before heading to Manta Point or a quick fuel up before hitting the surf, or a lazy lunch after exploring the reefs, or the island. The Lounge is your go-to café on Nusa Lembongan.
More than a Café
The Lounge is built right inside Scuba Center Asia’s Facility, which means it’s always buzzing with good energy. Divers come here to share stories, study their PADI eLearning, or relax after a legendary day at sea. Locals and expats drop in for their favorite Dutch snacks, while digital nomads zip their coffees alongside their laptops, enjoying the breezy seating and reliable WiFi. It’s the social hub of Nusa Lembongan, making it the perfect spot to blend work with island life.
Why The Lounge is Special
- Mushroom Bay’s hidden gem: one of the few cafés in the area, with no long waiting lines, seriously good food, and the best bread on the island.
- Community hub: Meet divers, surfers, locals, expats & digital nomads.
- Fuel for adventure: Smoothies, salads, Dutch fries, croissants & more.
- Island vibe: Natural tones, open-air seating, and that relaxed-but-stylish SCA feel.
- Part of Scuba Center Asia: Right next door the dive resort, steps away from the beach.
At Scuba Center Asia, we believe diving is about more than just the ocean; it’s about lifestyle, community, and creating memories. The Lounge is where it all comes together.
