Many,many Years Ago, Bali Was Attached To Java,
Sumatra And Malaysia And Lembongan Island Was
Attached To Lombok, Flores, Timor And Australia.
During The 19th Century, A British Scientist,
Wallace Stated / Discovered That The Indonesia
Archipelago Could Be Divided By An Imaginary Line
Which Later Became Known As The Wallace Line In
Our Encyclopedias. According To To His Extensive
Survey, All Land To The West Of This Line
Belonged To The Asiatic Continent Flora, Fauna,
Rain Forest, Tigers, Elephants, Etc And All
Land To The East Belonged To The Australian
Continent With Its Specific Dryer Climate, Bushes
Big, Lizard And Masupials. The Wallace Line Was
Subsequently Drawn Between Bali And Lembongan
Island. In 1986, The Skippers Of Sailing Yacht
Was Visiting The Archipelago On His Way To
Europe, And Dropped Anchor In The Bay Of Tajung
Sanghiang On Lembongan Island. This Is Where He
Discovered The Magical Location Of What Later
Become The Waka Nusa Resort. The Skipper Having
Helped Develope The Resort Has Since Sailed On.
He Now Lives In Australia. Nusa Lembongan Is
Situated 12 Kilometers East Of Bali. The Resort
Is Facing Sanur And The Well Known Gunung Agung
Volcano *3.100 Meters* And Because Of Its
Isolated Location And Limited Insfrastructure,
The Island Has Been Preserved From The Growth And
Progress That Has Evolved In Bali Over The Last
Ten Years. The Hindu Population Of 3.500 Is
Divide Into 2 Villages And Still Reliant On
Seaweed Farming And Fishing, And This Is The
Economic Resource Of The Island To This Day.
Here, Times Has Stopped And The Balinese
Traditions And Cilture Are Still The Same As They
Were Many Many Years Ago. The Resort Has 10
Bungalows Built Amongs A Palm Tree Plantation
Edging The Whites And Beach Of Tanjung Sanghiang.

Temple And Its Centuries Old Kapok Tree As Its
Setting. The Architecture Is Inspired By The
