Looking for Nusa Dua Hotels and a calm beachfront area? Nusa Dua is Bali’s most exclusive enclave: white-sand beaches, sheltered lagoons, and world-class family resorts. In this guide, you’ll find the best hotels in Nusa Dua, why the area stands out, how far it is from the airport, water sports options, smart tips, and quick booking links for hotels and activities.

If you’re building a full Bali itinerary, combine Nusa Dua with: a 10-day Bali itinerary , Ubud (rice terraces & culture) , and a full day at Waterbom Bali .

• The St. Regis Bali Resort – Ultra-luxury resort with butler service, private beach, and spacious suites.
