Nusa Dua Travel Guide

Nusa Dua is the place to stay if you want a relaxing holiday in Western luxury, lazing around by the pool, on the beach or enjoying water sports. Nusa Dua travel guide. Up until the early 1980’s the beachfront was completely empty, then the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel opened in 1983, and others followed soon after. Nusa Dua is well laid-out, with wide avenues and bicycle and jogging tracks linking the different hotels.

The area does have a few drawbacks, however, namely its isolation from the rest of Bali. Nusa Dua is situated on Bukit Peninsula some 20 km from Kuta and the airport. Another problem is that food and drink in the hotels is rather expensive, and there is little choice outside. The Mandara Toll Road passing over Benoa Bay that links Nusa Dua with the airport, Kuta and Sanur was opened in 2015.

Other moderately priced shops and restaurants are on Jalan Pantai Mengiat in Bualu village. The sellers at the souvenir, clothing and art shops on Jalan Pantai Mengiat will expect you to bargain. For bargaining tips see the Bargaining section near the front of this website.
