Written by Sofia Calvert
Dining fit for all, four dazzling pools and a daily roster of immersive activities – this Nusa Dua resort is made for your next Bali escape.
With an award-winning fine diner onsite, a deeply restorative spa and 200 metres of pristine beachfront to sink your toes into – it’s no wonder why Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa is a stay of choice in Bali. Whether you’re travelling with family – and want a stay that offers something for the young and young-at-heart – or if you’re looking to tee off at some of Bali’s best golf courses, there are so many things to love about this oceanside retreat. Read on to discover just seven of the best things about checking into Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa.
1. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner across four restaurants
Tamarind Mediterranean Restaurant is the hotel’s signature bistro, with many tables set up on powder-soft sands. Here, you can dine on both Indonesian and international favourites underneath a thatched roof, all while admiring sweeping Indian Ocean views. For fine dining, the award-winning Raja’s is at your fingertips for elevated Balinese cuisine, or opt for a laid-back evening at the international all-day diner, Wedang Jahe – perfect for when you’re craving flavours from home. Finally, a fusion of tastes from Hong Kong’s bustling streets to Japanese seafood is served at Maguro Asian Bistro.
2. It has a pool bar so good you’ll never want to leave
An oceanfront bar with ample shade to hide from the sun is a tropical holiday essential, and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel has the perfect tiki hut that delivers just that. Enjoy three hours of free-flow drinks daily at Chess Beachfront Bar – enjoying your fill of minty mojitos and Cosmic Coladas – or refresh at the Pool Bar with a homemade non-alcoholic cooler with lychee, lime and cane sugar. At night, pick a premium nightcap from the Lobby’s extensive back bar, featuring top-shelf spirits, après-dinner aperitifs and herbal teas – perfect for winding down after a day in the sea.
3. Kids can go wild at Gecko Kids’ Club…
No little soldier gets left behind with the resort’s extensive program of kid-friendly activities at Gecko Kids’ Club, including culturally immersive dance classes, Balinese dress-up, coconut leaf weaving and temple visits supervised by qualified staff. With a choice of morning, afternoon or half-day programs, kids aged three to 12 years can watch movies, draw, play on the beach and colour to their heart’s content (or until your massage is done).
4. … and there’s a day spa just for adults
Nusa Dua Spa’s menu is inspired by the ancient healing rituals and natural bounty of Bali and its product partner, Sensatia, is the renewable force behind each tranquil treatment. Succumb to relaxation during a citrus massage, enrich your skin with an anti-oxidising facial or spend quality time with your partner during a couple’s treatment. Beyond the massage bed, the adults-only spa offers aromatic saunas, steam rooms, a whirlpool and a 25-metre lap pool. With devoted therapists, aromatic suites and calming music, you’re sure to emerge feeling renewed.
5. Golf pros will be near the island’s best courses
If teeing-off on championship green is your idea of paradise, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa is just a five-minute drive from the 18-hole Bali National Golf Club. Other golf courses nearby include New Kuta Golf Course, the green at Handara Golf & Resort and even Bali Beach Golf Course in Sanur.
6. There’s a daily schedule of classes and experiences
Balinese culture is so rich and varied that it would be a shame not to pick up a skill or two on your island escape. Every Monday, guests can try their hand at fruit carving – creating sculptural art out of seasonal fruits and vegetables – or learn how to combine traditional herbs into Javanese beauty treatments. Tuesdays are reserved for coconut weaving classes, Fridays for Balinese dance classes and certified scuba diving lessons take place thrice weekly.
7. Upgrade to a Palace Club Lounge room for the A-list experience
Boasting a long list of alum including royalty and presidents among its past guests, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel is well acquainted with the little luxuries that take your holiday to the next level. When booking a Palace Club room, guests are privy to the exclusive benefits of the hotel’s executive lounge. Access to the lounge includes daily afternoon tea with canapes and evening cocktails served with cheese and nibbles. All this indulgence is topped off with private check-in service and leisurely late checkout.
