The Layar Homestay

Eight-room homestay on Jalan Ped-Buyuk in Nusa Penida's quieter north coast, The Layar sits closer to the Ped fishing village than to the tourist crush of Crystal Bay, making it a practical base for divers targeting Manta Point or the USS Liberty wreck channel.

Each room opens onto a private balcony with garden or sea views, fitted with air conditioning, a desk, and a full private bathroom. Food is delivered directly to the room on request — useful given that restaurant options thin out after dark on this part of the island.

Snorkeling and diving can be arranged through the property, cutting out the standard Toyapakeh pier middlemen. The fast boat pier at Buyuk is roughly ten minutes by road, keeping mainland Bali day-trips straightforward.
