Hotels in Nusa Dua

By Barry Greenfields

Nusa Dua is a Bali resort targeting the more rich travelers and therefore the types of Nusa Dua Hotels are varied in this exclusive area and are way more up market and costly so you will not find much within the budget type of place to stay. Although the prices are way higher you should expect the same value that is common all around Bali and compared to other resorts around the planet, Bali is outstanding when it comes to services and quality for your cash.

When looking for some Bali accommodation in Nusa Dua you'll be beginning off in the mid range of rates and then going up to the 5 star accommodations that's expected from an elite holiday maker resort. The mid range of accommodation will provide you with everything that's wanted to be snug and some extras. All rooms would be air conditioned, have 24 hour room service and in house comforts like cafes, bars and some shops which will sell basic haves and visitor mementos.

At the most southern end of Bali where it tapers off into a peninsula, this is where you will find Nusa Dua. The white wonderful beaches stretch all along the coast and getting there's an easy 15 minutes drive from Bali International Airport. Nusa Dua competes with some other areas in Bali for being the most prestigious holiday resort in Bali. The wonderful international hotels make it a preferred destination for the more higher class tourist. This area has been very well developed and provides you with modern roads, and beautiful gardens that are very well maintained. There isn't any highway through Nusa Dua and as a consequence it is a very quiet place to visit without the stupendously crowded beaches that you're going to find in the more budget oriented resorts and spots.

Activities include many water sports that you can choose to partake in, many of these are arranged by the hotel you are living in and keep the volume of tourists down by making them a personalized service. The diving in Nusa Dua is superb as the lagoon is protected and there are no huge waves. The water is a lot hotter here and so the sea life is abundant and well worth taking a look at. Diving lessons are available, or you can just do some snorkeling and get the same incredible experience if you're a bit wary about scuba diving. You can ask at the hotel you are staying in about the Bali tours available that will give you a private service.

If the tide is low there are 2 little islands that you can walk to or rent a boat. These aren't populated and you can be lucky enough to have an island all to oneself for a day. Just be cautious if you're walking there that you do not get marooned by the incoming tide, the hotel will be ready to advise you on the tides.

For the more leisure conscious traveler, there is masses of shopping areas to browse through; Nusa Dua is famous for its exquisite shops and shopping facilities. Bali shopping areas are definitely worth visiting as you can pick up some incredible bargains. The nightlife here is also much different to the more common resorts and tends to have more class and sophistication with amazing eateries, bars and clubs.

Being this is one of the hottest and up market resorts in Bali, it is crucial that you book your hotel or visa in advance. Going to Bali with the aim of staying here and finding the hotels are totally booked will be very upsetting to say the least. Nusa Dua hotels generally all offer air con, but just ask to make sure, there is not much worse than the humidity at night if you are not accustomed to it.

If taking a day trip to explore the island it is a good idea to bear a couple of things in mind. The more rural areas aren't as accommodating when it comes to bathrooms, you'll stumble on some real horrors. Always carry a toilet paper with you as few rural toilets will supply any or hand soap, so take some of that with you as well .

There are thousands of temples that are dotted all over the island and a trip to Bali without visiting one wouldn't be a complete trip to Bali. You would be missing out on an insight into the culture and architecture of an incredible nation. You will be required to wear a sarong when entering the temples and though they do offer them for rent at every temple ; it is way easier to take your own therefore avoiding having to queue up particularly if there is a huge tour group.
