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 Indonesian Archipelago could be divided by an imaginary line which later became known as the " Wallace Line" in our encyclopedias.

According to his intensive survey, all land to the West of this line belonged to the Asiatic continent : flora, fauna, ram forest, tigers, elephants, etc… and all land to the East belonged to the Australian continent with its specific dryer climate, bushes, big lizards and marsuliai…The "Wallance line" was subsequently drawn between Bali and … Lembongan Island.

In 1986, a frenchman and the skipper of a sailing yacht was visiting the Archipelago on his way to Europe and dropped anchor in the bay of Tanjung Sanghiang on Lembongan Island.This is where he discovered the magical location of what would later become the Waka Nusa Resort. The skipper having helped develop the resort has since sailed on. He now lives in Australia.

Nusa Lembongan is situated 12 kilometers East of Bali. The volcano ( 3.1000 meters ) and because of its isolated location and limited infrastructure, 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, divided into 2 villages and is still reliant on sea weed farming and fishing and this is the economic resources of the Island to this day.Here, time has stopped and the Balinese tradition and culture are still the same as they were many years ago.
