Beautiful Nusa Dua is the place to come if you're looking for
serenity, sunshine and luxury. Made up mostly of 5 star resorts, Nusa
Dua makes the most of the incredible natural coastline of Bali, and the
hotels are not only exclusive but negate much of the hassle of traveling
to a place like Bali. There's not as much in the way of bartering with
local traders and being swept up in the cultural hustle and bustle, but
if beaches and relaxation are your game, then you can't go past this
beautiful part of Bali.
Pantai Geger
The public beach in
Nusu Dua is beautiful and because it is not 'owned' by any of the
resorts it retains a unique Bali flavour. The sand is blindingly white
and the East-facing location ensures a beautiful cool breeze, along with
some of the warmest water temperatures in Bali due to the reef far out.
It is also a prized surf-spot due to said reef, and if you're into
surfing there is little more enjoyable than returning from a heavy day
on the water to a cocktail and soothing massage!
Serangan Island
The
name means 'Turtle Island', and is a conservation area for sea turtles.
It's possible to get boats from Nusa Dua out to the island and usually
these have glass bottoms so that you can view the marine life. The
island also plays a big role in religious history and tradition, and
despite its diminutive size there are actually four temples on the land,
one of which, Pura Sakenan, is one of the holiest sites for Balinese
Hindus.
Be Pampered
As I said, Nusa Dua is all about luxury,
and this makes it the perfect place to take advantage of traditional
Balinese massage and Indonesian spa treatments. Nusa Dua also boasts
incredible restaurants at its many resorts and a cocktail from one of
its beachfront bars will be hard to beach. If you're in Nusa Dua, it's
time to put on your pampering pants and forget for a while about the
elevated price tag it carries with it!
Water Sports
Nusa Dua
is the perfect place to indulge your love of water sports, with the
resorts offering everything from sailing, jet-skis and kayaking to para
sailing and jet-boats. It's a water-lover's paradise and the
crystal-clear waters make any activity on the open seas a delight.
As
far as Bali accommodation goes, Nusa Dua is up at the steep end, but if
you're looking for luxury, you really cannot go past it. With more
package deals available than you can poke a stick at, Nusa Dua offers
the perfect indulgent getaway-once you return you'll be refreshed,
rejuvenated and ready to take on real life again...although you may not
want to!
