Nusa Dua was designed for the luxury conscious with a heavy concentration of big name hotels lining the beautiful white sand beach. Some of the resorts have private beaches but most areas are accessible. The stretch past the Hilton Resort has been a public beach and during the wet season, the outer reef boasts a popular surf break. You will find some simple warungs selling good food at cheap prices along this beautiful stretch of white sandy beach that offers excellent swimming conditions in a protected lagoon.
Bali's southern peninsula is where you find most of the island's international 4 and 5 star hotels. Set in a manicured (not traditionally Balinese) garden environment. Quite nice beach with shallow water, no high waves. All kinds of water sports and an 18-hole golf course. Restaurant choice is limited outside the hotels and price is generally slightly higher than the Kuta or Sanur areas. Some more reasonably priced reaturants are located in adjacent Tanjung Benoa and Bualu village.
Shopping is split between the clothing markets at the front of Nusa Dua where you can barter for anything from socks to copy watches; and the designer stores of Galleria.
Nusa Dua is only 25 minutes from the airport and 35 minutes from all the shopping and life of Kuta. Nusa Dua's location makes it very easy to enjoy the best of both worlds. If up market villas and extensive resorts with huge pools overlooking the ocean; or being able to walk to a golf course, is what you visualize for a holiday, then Nusa Dua is the place. |
