Ahhhh, Nusa Dua. Bali’s oh-so swanky neighbourhood full of five-star resorts<\/a>, white sand beaches<\/a>\u00a0and water sports galore<\/a> for plenty of\u00a0family-friendly fun<\/a> in the sun.\u00a0With\u00a0so many awesome things to do<\/a>, stunning beachfront hotels to stay in, and delicious restaurants<\/a> to tickle those taste buds at, planning the perfect Nusa Dua itinerary\u00a0can be as hard as choosing which pristine beach to prop up at.<\/p>\n

So, we’ve put together this Ultimate Nusa Dua Guide<\/strong> to help you on your next holiday, be it a blowout honeymoon<\/a> in a fancy resort, an action-packed getaway with the kiddos, or a well-deserved island escape with your bestie \u2013 here’s everything you need to know about Nusa Dua.<\/p>\n

So, where is Nusa Dua?<\/h3>\n

Nusa Dua is nestled on the southeastern coast of Bali, a 30- to 40-minute drive from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Kuta, through Jl By Pass Ngurah Rai road, or better yet, Bali Mandara Toll Road \u2013 a breezy (and speedy!) change from the smaller streets and buzzing vibes of Canggu<\/a> and Seminyak<\/a>. By the pristine coast, you\u2019ll find luxury resorts<\/a> lining up beachside, with tropical postcard meets five-star comfort vibes. As for the inland area, you\u2019ll find residential homes, a few restaurants, as well as an international hospital, BIMC Nusa Dua. A bonus? It\u2019s tucked away just enough to feel exclusive, yet still well-connected for exploring other parts of the island.<\/p>\n

Is Nusa Dua worth visiting?<\/h3>\n

If you love the finer things in life wrapped in a quieter, family-friendly environment, then Nusa Dua is absolutely worth visiting. Think world-class spas<\/a>, laid-back beach clubs<\/a> and bars<\/a> where sundowners feel more like a ritual, and restaurants<\/a> that whip up everything from fresh seafood<\/a> to gastronomic feasts<\/a>. Plus, the beach here is one of the calmer sun-baking spots in Bali, shallow waters make them ideal for a lazy swim or paddle boarding session. And while it may not have the late-night buzz of Canggu or Seminyak, it makes up for it with soul-soothing sunset cocktails<\/a> and sophisticated vibes.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO DO IN NUSA DUA<\/h2>\n

1. Bay-watch on a Nusa Dua Beach<\/h3>\n
\"Nusa
You’ll find some of Bali’s most beautiful beaches in Nusa Dua!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nusa Dua’s collection of beaches are nothing short of picture perfect. With gorgeous\u00a0white sands and clear turquoise waters lapping gently on the shoreline, the beaches here<\/a> are ideal for families and for spending the day sunning and soaking. Surfers can head out to the offshore reefs for some world-class waves, while the calmer waters just beg for snorkelling, SUPing and swimming. Head to Geger Beach for long and wide white sands, Pantai Mengiat for spatters of sunbeds and beachfront warungs, or Nikko Beach for camel rides and deserted sands. At the main Nusa Dua beach tucked away within the ITDC resort area, you’ll find surf rentals, beach bars, restaurants and even the Bali Collection shopping complex.<\/p>\n

2. Sing, swing & socialise at Lila Cita Tavern<\/h3>\n
Roll up for a round of golf, or belt out ballads in Lila Cita Tavern’s private karaoke room!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s no secret that Nusa Dua is one of Bali’s most tranquil neighbourhoods. But once the sun begins to set, Nusa Dua’s vibrant nightlife scene comes to life, all thanks to Lila Cita Tavern at Grand Hyatt Bali \u2013 a sleek sports bar with entertainment options galore. Major sports events stream on the big screens, alongside pool, foosball and air hockey tables too. Our favourite? The state-of-the-art Golf Simulator that’s loaded with an 18-hole indoor course, and the private karaoke room that can fit up to 25 people! Oh yes, after a glittering sunset by the sea, you’ll want to roll up for a round of golf, or belt out ballads with your friends. And whatever you do, sip your way through the signature cocktails, and try the crisp lagers and locally-brewed pale ales, perfectly paired with a menu of bar bites and snacks. Cheers!

Adrenaline junkies, take to the ocean for some wild water sports in Nusa Dua!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nusa Dua\u00a0has so many\u00a0water sports<\/a> on offer, you could spend your entire holiday getting wet and wild. For adrenaline junkies, there’s jet-skiing, banana and donut boat rides, water-skiing, wake boarding, fly fishing and parasailing, or you can fully immerse yourself in the deep and experience the ocean by swimming, snorkelling, surfing, scuba diving and even sea walking. If you don\u2019t fancy getting wet, take a trip on a glass-bottom boat to discover Nusa Dua’s beautiful marine life above board.<\/p>\n

4. Get pampered at a five-star spa<\/h3>\n

Head to\u00a0Iridium Spa<\/a> at The St. Regis Bali Resort for their Ayurvedic treatments, or Sofitel SPA<\/a> at Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort for some French flair and refined beauty and body treatments.<\/p>\n

5. Go golfing at the Bali National Golf Club<\/h3>\n
\"Aktivitas
Golf fanatics, Nusa Dua is home to one of Bali’s most impressive courses!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Whether you’re a beginner, a pro or just a casual weekend golfer looking for a relaxing holiday hobby, Bali National Golf Club<\/a> is Nusa Dua’s international-standard manicured golf course with three distinct playing environments across an 18-hole course. There are creeks and canyons, sculptured fairways and elevated groves, and for the final hole, a challenging lakeside green. There’s also a Pro shop, a driving range with putting green, and even a modern clubhouse overlooking the Indian Ocean. Now that’s a golf course!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Shop ’til you drop at Bali Collection<\/h3>\n
\"What
Head to Bali Collection to shop cute souvenirs and designer fashion!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Nusa Dua is home to a number of street-side shopping vendors selling fashion, art, spa products and souvenirs to take home with you. Most of the luxe resorts have their own boutiques too, but venture out to\u00a0Bali Collection<\/a> for a western-style shopping experience, with its designer labels and high-street names all in one village-style outdoor mall. You’ll find everything here including surf favourites from Billabong and Quiksilver, to island labels like Bamboo Blonde, and designer fashion from Dolce & Gabanna, Prada and Ralph Lauren. There’s also plenty of restaurants and spas here too, so don’t be surprised if you shop ’til sunset.<\/p>\n

7. Get cultured at Museum Pasifika<\/h3>\n
\"What
Learn all about the Asia-Pacific at this cultural museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Culture vultures,\u00a0you’ll want to pay a visit to Museum Pasifika<\/a> \u2013 Nusa Dua’s hub of specialist artwork from the Asia-Pacific region. You could spend hours here traipsing around the eleven display rooms that represent each part of the Asia-Pacific, soaking up the collections of historical artefacts and cultural items. The showcase features more than 600 pieces from over 200 artists from 25 countries \u2013 a harmony of different styles and artistic forms that pay tribute to the cultural heritage of the region.<\/p>\n

8. Hop aboard a fishing board<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"What
Hire a boat and take to the ocean for fishing, snorkelling or simply cruising the coastline!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you want to escape to the open ocean, charter your own boat for the day and head out for a spot of fishing. There are plenty of tours, boat hires and excursions to choose from, with Captains that have decades of experience aboard fully equipped vessels. And if fishing doesn’t float your boat (pun intended!), then snorkel the vibrant reefs, cruise around the island, or simply relax on board as you soak up the ocean rays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WHERE TO EAT IN NUSA DUA

1. Manarai Beach House<\/h3>\n

A beach club<\/a>, restaurant and wine shop combo, Manarai Beach House<\/a> is Nusa Dua’s hottest daytime destination to know. With easy breezy island vibes and a panoramic palette of paradise in fifty shades of blue, you’ll want to settle in here and graze the entire day away. The menu is all about quintessential comfort food that’s been jazzed up to gourmet standards. Think sizzling satay using prime USDA beef, colourful salads and platters of sushi, rolled and topped with ocean delicacies like tiger prawn and salmon. Our fave is the Unagi Fried Rice (an elevated serving of fried rice mixed with barbecued unagi, salmon, tobiko and crabsticks, topped with squid ink crackers) – words are futile in describing this plate of umami. Pro tip: wash it all down with the whimsical cocktails, or browse and sip your way through the temperature-controlled wine cellar.
