Share The Article

As beach clubs and nightlife become increasingly present throughout Bali, there are very few established beach resorts where tourists can guarantee that they won’t hear the duff duff sounds of base in the distance.

Nusa Dua, however, offers tourists a good night’s sleep and sunrises worth setting the early alarm call for. 

Nusa Dua is the most luxurious resort in Bali. Home to a stunning collection of 5-star hotels, this area of Bali is regularly frequented by some of the world’s most esteemed travelers.

Yet, Nusa Dua is far from exclusive or exclusionary. At any time of the year, savvy travelers can find incredible hotel deals at many of the area’s 4- and 5-star establishments.

As Nusa Dua is renowned for its luxury resorts, fine dining establishments, and vast expanses of pristine white sand, it may be easy to think that opportunities for adventure are few and far between. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Whether looking for an adrenaline rush or a wild encounter with nature, Nusa Dua surely delivers every time.

The Waterblow is one of the most exciting natural wonders Nusa Dua has to offer. The Waterblow can be found on Peninsula Island and is utterly exhilarating, especially when the tides are extra high over the new and full moons.

Waves hitting the rocks at Waterblow can reach over 8m, and tourists must prepare to get splashed. This is a much-loved day trip for young families. In between the crashing waves, visitors are also graced with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and the coastline.

It’s a good moment to reflect, or even challenge yourself; how many shades of blue can you see?

On Peninsula Island, tourists must also take the time to enjoy the Garden of Hope and marvel at the statue of Sri Krishna and Arjuna.

These two powerful Hindu deities preside over Penisula Island, and the Garden of Hope offers incredible views of the Bali coastline.

It’s a welcome spot of greenery amid the soft yellow sands of Nusa Dua and the contrasting bold blue ocean.

For a different kind of adventure, a cultural adventure, tourists staying in Nusa Dua must book tickets to the Devdan Show.

This is one of the longest-running performances in Bali and is a mesmerizing dance performance that takes audiences not only on a tour around Bali, but also the whole Indonesian archipelago.

Audiences are dazzled not only by some of Indonesia’s finest cultural dances but also by acrobatics, special effects, and live music. 

Those seeking a more serene and reflective cultural experience in Bali’s Nusa Dua should make time to visit Puja Mandala, which is one of the most unique places of worship on the island. Bali is a majority Balinese Hindu province, and Indonesia is a majority muslim nation, but at Puja Mandala, five major faiths can come together in worship and devotion.

Within the Puja Mandala complex, there is a Hindu temple, an Islamic mosque, a Catholic Church, a Protestant church, and a Buddhist temple. It’s a truly unique location that offers even those of no faith the chance to seek a quiet moment of reflection.

Of course, the highlight of any vacation in Nusa Dua is the beaches. Nusa Dua’s beaches are immaculately maintained and never crowded.

While Nusa Dua Beach is the pride and joy of the resort, tourists always enjoy taking a stroll to Mengait Beach and Geger Beach.

In the early morning, as the sun rises over Nusa Dua, it is entirely possible for tourists to enjoy the whole beach to themselves. 

Top hotel resorts in Nusa Dua include the Grand Hyatt Bali, ideal for those who want to be close to the attractions on the Peninsula Island.

The St Regis Bali Resort is located just steps from Geger Beach, and for those seeking a stay closer to the Mengait Beach section of Nusa Dua Beach, The Ayodya Palace Bali is a great option.
