 NUSA DUA ISLAND
The name Nusa Dua can be used in two ways: either it can refer to the entire
eastern side of the Bukit Peninsula at the southern tip of Bali, or it can refer to the purpose-
built, safe and rather sterile tourist enclave (Kawasan Pariwisata, quite literally Tourism
District) at the southeast side of this peninsula.As well as a host of luxury hotels, Nusa Dua
is home to the most popular golf course in Bali and the main convention centre on the
island.
The beaches here are glorious - white sand, deep, long and safe for swimming.
The public beach at Geger is the best to head to if you are not staying at Nusa Dua. This is
also home to one of the best museums in Bali. The museum is nearly always empty.
The Nusa Dua enclave has three manned gates and everyone entering is subject
to a security search. This can have a slightly claustrophobic effect according to some points
of view, and in other points of view makes guests feel more secure. While some may
criticize this for creating the sense of an "artificial location", given the prior acts of terrorism
in Bali some guests do appreciate the fact that security checks are made to enhance their
safety.

 NUSA DUA ISLAND
Nusa Dua is located 40km south of Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali. Access
is easy from the Kuta area (20-30 minutes) and Jimbaran (15 minutes) on the main
southern route called Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai, which becomes Jalan Bypass Nusa Dua as
it approaches the enclave.
The international airport is about 20 to 30 minutes by car and a pre-paid taxi fare
from there will cost between Rp 95,000 and 110,000. If you are staying here, then your hotel
will no doubt arrange to pick you up at the airport.
Public transport is far from regular in the area, but some bemos from Tegal terminal
in Denpasar do ply the main bypass.
Most visitors come to Nusa Dua if they are looking for a relaxing beach holiday and
you can spend your days swimming, enjoying the vistas across the water, and having dinner
on the pretty beaches here. There are also a range of cultural activities in Nusa Dua
although many tourists eschew these in favor of staying in the confines of their resorts, but if
you are game for getting out and about then there is a huge amount to enjoy here in
addition to the sea and sand.

Here are the best things to do in Nusa Dua:
1. Sunbathe on Pantai Geger
Pantai Geger is one of the public beaches in Nusa Dua which is not to be sniffed at
as many of the other strips of sand belong to the various hotels they back on to.
This means that if you are looking to come to Nusa Dua and don’t want to stay in a resort
then you can still come to the beach and explore.You can swim here and there are a nice
number of small local cafes called warungs dotted along the coastline, and you can also
rent a sun lounger and spend the day relaxing and taking in the cool breeze.
2. Admire Water Blow
Water Blow is one of the best natural sights in Nusa Dua and as the name
suggests this is a massive blow hole which means that you can watch the water erupt from
the sea into the sky.
The hole is the result of a tight rock formation and sits on Nusa Dua Beach close to the
Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Make sure to keep your distance from the blow hole as it can be powerful and it can get

3. Walk to Pura Gegar
Pura Gegar is one of the most famous attractions in Nusa Dua and lies to the
south of the iconic Gegar Beach.
To get to this temple you will need to follow a path up a bluff from the beach and once there
you will find a pretty Balinese temple surrounded by twisted tree trunks overlooking the
sea.The temple itself if small but one of the main reasons to come here is to take in the
vistas over the water.
4. Visit Pasifika Museum
Pasifika Museum is a wonderful museum in Nusa Dua although unfortunately many people
don’t even know it exists.
The museum is located close to Bali Collection and features the work of a number of
European artists who moved to Bali and then made art on the island.
There are also galleries dedicated to local painters and you will also find an Indochinese
gallery as well as a Polynesian exhibit.
As if that wasn’t enough you will even find pieces from greats such as Paul Gauguin, Rudolf

5. Take a boat to Serangan Island / Turtle Island
The Full name is Serangan Turtle Island Conservation Centre
If you are looking for something to do around Nusa Dua then head for Serangan Island
which is also known as Turtle Island.
You can take a boat directly from Nusa Dua or Tanjung Benoa and you will find a
pretty conservation center here which is dedicated to taking care of injured turtles and
releasing them back into the wild.
There is also a hatchery here and the baby turtles are then released onto the local
beaches when they are deemed old enough to fend for themselves. As well as turtles you
will also find birds, snakes, and other Balinese wildlife here and this makes a great day out,
especially for anyone interested in marine conservation.
Serangan Island is accessible from Nusa Dua via boat or the expressway and
makes a great day out if you want to explore other areas. Be sure that you are visiting the
actual Serangan Turtle Island Conservation Centre as there are other so called
‘conservation centres’ that focus purely on their own pockets instead of the environment.
If you want go to the Turtle Island, you need to pay about Rp500.000 for rent the

to represent the five major religions in Indonesia.

promontory you will find a Buddhist temple as well as a traditional Hindu temple.
There is also a Catholic Church here and a neighboring Protestant church, as well as an
Islamic mosque.
The hill is meant to be a symbol of tolerance and religious equality in Indonesia and
visitors here can also watch shows and festivals in line with the holy days of the different religions
represented here.

8. Have a game of golf at Bali National Golf Club
Anyone who enjoys golf can make the most of it in Nusa Dua at the Nusa Dua Golf and
Country Club. The club is known for having one of the nicest courses in all of Bali and is
conveniently located if you are staying in one of the neighboring resorts.
There are a range of packages that you can buy here which can save money if you plan
to golf over several days but bear in mind that the course can get crowded so you will need to
book in advance if you want to squeeze in a game. As if that wasn’t enough you can also climb
into a large wooden tree house or scale a lookout tower to take in the views.
You will also find rustic pirate inspired beach huts as well as tents and bonfires and you
can even choose to dress up in pirate garb and go on a treasure hunt if you really want to get in
the pirate mood.
9. Go for a walk along the Nusa Dua Promenade (Nusa Dua Waterfront)
The waterfront in Nusa Dua makes the perfect place to go for a walk as it is lined with a
walking path that means that you can skirt along the coast and take in the vistas over the Indian
Ocean. The waterfront can be see at 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Many people choose to go for a ramble in the morning or the early evening when the
sun is less fierce and you can walk for around 7 kilometers all the way along the path. You can

its English name.

lovely reef that lies off shore which has some good waves during the surf season.

designated dive site and you can then don a helmet that will let you look around without

12. Watch the Devdan Show
Nusa Dua Devdan Show
A main attraction in Nusa Dua is its nightly Devdan Show which is a cultural dance
performance that is unique to this part of the island.
The reason for this is that the show lasts some 90 minutes but instead of being exclusively
dedicated to Balinese dances it will take you on a whistle-stop tour of different kinds of
music, costumes, and traditions from all over Indonesia.
The performance is high energy and you can also expect aerobics and other athletic feats,
all of which take place under the stars.
The Ticket price start from Rp545.000- Rp1.300.000
