What it's like

Nusa Dua was built as a resort area, so its wide, clean beaches and calm, reef-protected water are lined with large international hotels, a shopping centre and a golf course. A beachfront path links the resorts, and the Waterblow spouts waves through the rocks.

It's the easiest choice for families and anyone wanting a safe, polished resort stay. It feels removed from Balinese life, and you'll need a taxi for anything beyond the resort area.
