KLUNGKUNG, DEWATA.NEWS – The Klungkung Regency Government has temporarily closed Diamond Beach, one of Nusa Penida’s well-known coastal attractions, over incomplete operating permits.
The closure took effect on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at the tourism destination in Pejukutan Village, Nusa Penida. Authorities said Diamond Beach will remain closed until its management completes all required permits.
Nusa Penida Subdistrict Head I Kadek Yoga Kusuma Putra confirmed the closure on Thursday, September 3. He said the decision followed a meeting between Klungkung Regent I Made Satria, regional leadership officials, and relevant government agencies.
“The matter was discussed with the Regent together with all relevant agencies and the regional leadership. It will be temporarily closed until Diamond’s management completes all the required permits,” Yoga said.
The closure followed several attempts by the local government to encourage the operator to complete its licensing requirements. The management had previously been summoned several times by the Klungkung Public Order Agency, or Satpol PP, over the issue.
Yoga said Diamond Beach had been operating since around 2022 or 2023, but many of its permits had not yet been completed because several requirements remained outstanding.
The destination includes a restaurant and several attractions, including man-made facilities such as swings and a flying fox, as well as natural attractions.
Safety Checks Also Found Missing Permits
The licensing issue had already come under scrutiny before the full closure. On August 22, the Klungkung Regency Enforcement Team, known as Tim Yustisi, inspected facilities at Diamond Beach to check their permits and safety compliance.
Klungkung Public Order and Fire Agency Head Dewa Putu Suwarbawa said inspectors examined several facilities, including a coffee shop, tourist accommodation units, a flying fox and a swing.
The flying fox and swing operators were unable to provide complete documentation during the inspection. The two attractions had also not obtained several basic permits, including Building Approval (PBG) and requirements related to Occupational Safety and Health (K3).
“Under these conditions, we temporarily stopped the flying fox. We gave the management an opportunity to process the permits according to the regulations. The swing was in the same situation and could not show the required basic permits, so we also stopped its operation,” Suwarbawa said.
Authorities placed official closure markings on both attractions.
The Klungkung government has not set a reopening date for Diamond Beach. The destination is expected to resume operations only after its management fulfills the required licensing requirements.
