A Rp200 billion glass elevator at Kelingking Beach, Nusa Penida was meant to symbolize progress — a safer, “eco-friendly” way to reach one of Bali’s most iconic cliffs.
But soon after construction began, investigations revealed zoning violations and missing environmental permits. The project now stands frozen, suspended between ambition and accountability.
Supporters call it modernization.
Critics call it a warning.
Because the question isn’t just about one elevator — it’s about how far Bali can go before nature stops giving second chances.
💬 Your turn:
Is this a step forward for safer tourism — or a step too far into protected land?
