BADUNG, Bali – A Dutch tourist causes disturbance at a Nusa Penida hotel and was briefly detained at the Nusa Penida Police Station after allegedly causing unrest at the property on Tuesday, 18 November 2025. The foreign national was only released after his family members flew in from the Netherlands to retrieve him on Thursday, 20 November 2025.

The Nusa Penida Police Chief, AKP I Ketut Kesuma Jaya, explained that the situation began after officers received a report regarding a foreigner creating noise and disrupting the hotel environment.
“This foreign national caused a commotion, which made guests and staff at the hotel feel unsafe,” he said.

Responding to the report, officers immediately headed to the location on Tuesday and conducted initial handling. The tourist was then evacuated to the Nusa Penida Police Station for further security measures.

He remained at the station for two days before being officially handed over to his family, who had traveled all the way from the Netherlands to pick him up.
“The handover process went safely and smoothly on Thursday, the 20th,” AKP Kesuma Jaya added.

The police chief also reminded tourism operators in Nusa Penida to promptly report any incidents that may threaten public order or guest comfort.
“Nusa Penida Police are ready to take swift action to ensure safety and comfort for everyone,” he emphasized.
