:: Nusa Dua Beach - Bali Travel Guides ::
The term "Nusa Dua" can be
used in two ways: either it can refer to the entire
peninsula at the southern tip of Bali, or it can refer
to the purpose-built, safe and sterile tourist enclave
at the southeast side of this peninsula. For this
article, Nusa Dua covers everything to the east of
Uluwatu and south of Benoa.
Nusa Dua is a peninsula in the south of Bali. It is
located 40 kilometres from Denpasar, the capital of
Bali.
There are many tourist areas in this area that consists
of lime-coral stone, such as Jimbaran Beach and Garuda
Wisnu Kencana.
Nusa Dua beach is a popular place for kitesurfing.
Crystal clear water and stretches of white sandy beach
of Nusa Dua makes Nusa Dua a perfect spot for luxurious
resorts to which your exhausted bodies, after a Barong
performance at Batubulan and a long climb of the steps
of the Mother Temple Besakih, will want to rest. Some of
the most sumptuous and luxurious hotels in the world
find their home in Nusa Dua Bali. You can relax in the
Thalasso spa of the Grand Mirage Resort after a day of
surfing or diving. Or you can tee off into the sunset,
while watching the gentle waves come from the blue sea
and caress the banks surrounding the luscious greens.
Tranquil swimming pools under the coconut trees seem to
be one with the distant blue sea. Art galleries and
numerous shops surround them.
# Dreamland. A beautiful beach with excellent surfing
conditions, especially for intermediate surfers & on big
days when other breaks are too big to surf. Right & left
reef break, not too shallow and with decent shape.
# Pulau Penyu (English=Turtle Island). Boats from Nusa
Dua are available, the price is Rp. 100,000 per person.
The boats are usually glass boats which you can see the
under water view from the boat. Like its name, Pulau
Penyu (Turtle Island) is a turtle conservation. The
local people keep the turtle eggs in each traditional
conservation houses individually owned them until the
baby turtles born, and they will release the turtles
when they are grown. Besides turtle, they also have
komodos, birds, snakes, bats, etc. To enter each
conservation is usually free, but they will ask you to
give some money for animal feeding. They didn't mention
the amount, but usually around Rp. 20,000. Once you
arrive at the island, 1 or 2 guides will welcome you.
You also better give them some tips (Rp. 10,000 or Rp.
20,000), although they won't ask for it. Not giving any
money basically will be OK, because they also earn money
from the drinking shops near the houses.
