Mantra, Nusa Dua hotels

Nusa Dua is a southern peninsula of Bali, and has become famous for its enclave of affluent hotels and resorts. The area is home to a beautiful beachfront which boasts gorgeous white sand and very welcoming waters. Most of the accommodation options here are five-star and expensive. There are some budget properties offering comfortable services. However, luxury certainly steals the spotlight in Nusa Dua.

The beach in Nusa Dua is spectacular. Due to the relative ‘remoteness’ of the area, there are not many people on the beaches here. Geger Beach is the largest and most popular. It is a public strip of sand which is safe for swimming or sunbathing and is perfect for relaxing. It is not uncommon to be approached by vendors selling different products like food and clothing. There are also massage ladies who walk the beaches. Pandawa and Blue Point Beach are two other famous spots near Nusa Dua.

Visitors shouldn’t miss a trip to Serangan Island. Boat trips to the island are available from Nusa Dua. The craft used are usually glass-bottomed vessels, allowing travellers to view the underwater marine life while boating across to the island. Furthermore, Serangan is a famous turtle protectiion zone, which only adds to the excitement of this beautiful daytrip from Nusa Dua.

Outside of the main resorts, Nusa Dua is rather limited in its choice of restaurants. There are several local establishments that are inexpensive and offer quick and delightful fare. Nevertheless, it is the hotels that have the best restaurants in the area. Everything from Hungarian dining through to Japanese restaurants is found here. Night life in Nusa Dua is also very limited. Many of the bars are located inside the five-star resorts, therefore they are quite expensive.

Beachgoers will find some local handicrafts and food products while resting on the beach as vendors walk around selling their products. Apart from this, there are almost no other shopping opportunities in the district of Nusa Dua.
