When choosing where to stay in Nusa Dua, it’s worth knowing whether your hotel is inside or outside the ITDC (Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation) tourism complex. ITDC is a purpose-built resort enclave, home to many of Nusa Dua’s best luxury hotels and beachfront resorts, with beautifully landscaped gardens, manicured roads and security-controlled entrances.
Staying inside ITDC puts you close to popular attractions like Bali Collection, Museum Pasifika and Nusa Dua’s white-sand beaches, with plenty of places to explore without travelling far.
