Nusa Dua is one of Bali's most elegant beach resorts, located on the island's southern peninsula around 20 minutes from Bali International Airport. With luxurious hotels, beautiful white-sand beaches and calm, shallow waters, it's a popular choice for couples, honeymooners and anyone looking for a relaxing Bali holiday.

There's plenty to see and do beyond the beach, from water sports, snorkelling and diving to temples, the Museum Pasifika, an 18-hole golf course and the Nusa Dua Theatre. The Bali Collection offers a good selection of shops and restaurants, while nearby Tanjung Benoa and Bualu are worth visiting for a more local atmosphere and competitive dining.

For a peaceful escape, Nusa Dua is hard to beat. Unlike lively Kuta, its evenings are centred around the resort hotels, with relaxed bars, restaurants and Balinese hospitality.
