At the most southern end of Bali where it tapers off into a headland, this is where you may find Nusa Dua.  The white sandy beaches stretch all along the coast and getting there is a simple 15 minutes drive from Bali International Airport.  Nusa Dua competes with some other areas in Bali for being the most distinguished vacation resort in Bali.  The exquisite international hotels make it a preferred destination for the more higher class holiday maker.  This area has been very well developed and provides you with modern roads, and gorgeous gardens that are very well maintained.  There isn’t any thoroughfare through Nusa Dua and as a result it is a very quiet place to go to without the stupendously crowded beaches that you’re going to find in the more budget orientated resorts and spots.

If the tide is low there are two little islands that you can walk to or hire a boat.  These are not populated and you can be lucky enough to have an island all to oneself for a day.  Just watch out if you are walking there that you don’t get marooned by the incoming tide, the hotel will be in a position to advise you on the tides.

The nightlife here is also much different from the more common resorts and has a tendency to have more class and sophistication with amazing eateries, bars and clubs. 

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

If taking a short break to explore the island it is advisable to bear a few things in mind.  The more rural areas are not as accommodating when it comes to loos, you may stumble upon 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 also. 

There are thousands of temples that are dotted all over the island and a trip to Bali without a visit to at least one would not be a complete trip to Bali.  You would be missing a view into the culture and design of a wonderful culture.  Firstly you’ll be needed to wear a sarong when entering the temples and though they do offer them for rent at each temple ; it is much easier to take your own so avoiding having to queue up particularly if there is a huge tour group.
