Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa: The Classic Family Resort

When Nusa Dua was still scrub and open sand, this resort was already standing. Inaugurated on 28 May 1983, it was the first five-star hotel in the development zone run by BTDC, today’s ITDC; after joining Accor its official name became Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa – Handwritten Collection. Split candi bentar gates, carved paras stone and dense tropical gardens make it feel like a palace — and that is exactly why it still works for family holidays.

Why It Suits Families

• The white sand of Nusa Dua beach lies right in front: shallow and calm because the swell breaks on the offshore reef, far friendlier for children than Bali’s big-surf southern beaches.
• Three outdoor pools, direct beach access and a kids club for younger guests.
• Five restaurants and three bars inside the grounds — among them Raja’s Balinese Cuisine, Tamarind and Maguro Asian Bistro — plus around 380 rooms and suites across generous gardens.

Balinese Architecture and the Spa

• The layout follows palace design: candi bentar gates, a kori agung portal, stone statues and an open-air stage for performances.
• The resort spa uses Sensatia Botanicals, a natural skincare brand from Karangasem, Bali.
• Sports facilities and meeting rooms are available; confirm spa packages and kids’ activities when you book.

Access and What Is Nearby

• About 15–25 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport via the Bali Mandara toll road; 30–45 minutes from Denpasar depending on traffic.
• Bali Collection is a few minutes’ drive, while Water Blow on Peninsula Island is roughly 10 minutes away.
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen, beach sandals and modest clothing if you plan to visit nearby temples.
