Work Begins on Nusa Penida Cliffside Elevator

Work has begun on a new 182-m glass elevator and viewing platforms that will be built on the cliffside overlooking the world-famous Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida, near Bali, The Bali Sun reports. The first stone for the project was laid in 2023 and it has since faced mixed response from local leaders and tourists. The elevator will travel from the very top of the Kelingking Beach Viewing Point down to the beach itself. It will be constructed in one shaft with several viewing platforms built into the cliffside, walkways and lookout points at various stages down the cliff face. The Nusa Penida Glass Elevator is being developed as a partnership between Karang Dawa Traditional Banjar in Bunga Mekar Village and the Chinese investment company PT Bina Nusa Properti (PT BNP).
