Fancy a holiday in Bali with an emphasis on sublime luxury? Nusa Dua is the place for you. Known as the upscale area of Bali, this pristine enclave of five-star hotels is truly idyllic.
Think manicured lawns, off-the-chart luxurious resorts, private beaches and jaw-droppingly stunning coastal views. Nusa Dua is the ideal place if a rejuvenating, peaceful getaway is what you are looking for.
Nusa Dua is on the southern tip of Bali and its hot and sunny climate comes with the added benefit of a refreshing cooling breeze. Its name ‘Nusa Dua’, translates to mean ‘two islands’, and it refers to the small raised headlands in the area that have a small temple atop them. With many of the high-end resorts based here, Nusa Dua is ideal if you want to be able to escape the charming chaos of Bali and have time to relax.
Sights to see in Nusa Dua
Base yourself in one of the sublime resorts during your holiday in Nusa Dua so that you can enjoy interesting excursions to nearby attractions.
The Water Blow is a favourite natural sight at Nusa Dua Beach. It’s a thrilling experience to watch the sea water erupting into the sky at this dramatic natural blowhole.
Head to the scenic Uluwatu Temple, which dates back to the 10th century and has the show-stopping aspect of being perched 70 metres above the waves on a stunning cliff-top location. A small forest surrounds the Uluwatu Temple with hundreds of resident monkeys. Legend has it that these monkeys are the loyal guardians of Uluwatu, which is, in fact, considered one of Bali’s key spiritual places.
There aren’t any direct UK flights to Bali, so it’s great to stop in another fascinating place along the way. We recommend teaming your exclusive beach holiday in Nusa Dua with a high-energy city break in Singapore, providing the perfect mix of fun and relaxation.
