Tucked along one of the pristine, powder-white sands of Bali’s celebrated southern coastline, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa – Handwritten Collection is not just a five-star resort, but a luxurious destination that captures the essence of the island. This resort invites families to immerse themselves in Balinese culture and hospitality. Just a short 15-minute journey from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, guests are instantly transported into a five-star paradise where traditional Balinese elegance meets modern luxury. This idyllic retreat offers a warm and charming experience enriched with authentic cultural touches.
From the moment of arrival, the atmosphere is unmistakably enchanting. Surrounded by expansive tropical gardens and intricate Balinese architecture, guests are welcomed into a peaceful haven. Direct access to a quiet, sun-drenched picturesque beach sets the tone for relaxation, while four inviting swimming pools, including a main pool, lagoon pool, spa lap pool and a children’s pool, cater to every pace of life.
Guest accommodation are thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of each traveller. Families can enjoy spacious suites tailored for their needs, complete with multiple sleeping areas and child-friendly features. Larger groups can stay connected through interconnecting room options. All rooms are elegantly styled with traditional Balinese influences, featuring rich wood carvings, soft natural tones and locally inspired artwork, seamlessly blended with modern amenities.
Dining at the resort offers a refined yet relaxed experience, with each dining outlet presenting a variety of flavours. Begin your day with a lavish breakfast spread that features both international classics and Indonesian curated dishes. Afterward, guests can explore a diverse culinary landscape, enjoying the panoramic ocean views at Tamarind Mediterranean Restaurant or sample the delicate menus at Maguro Asian Bistro. The laid-back Cabana celebrates the best of South American dishes by the pool, while Raja’s Balinese Cuisine offers a more intimate experience with its traditional Indonesian menu, celebrating centuries-old royal recipes.
For families seeking activities, the resort transforms into a sanctuary of wellness and recreation. Younger guests can enjoy immersive programmes at the Gecko Kids Club, where fun, education and culture combine through games, arts and outdoor play. Meanwhile, adults can unwind in indulgent spa facilities, participate in yoga sessions to greet the morning serenely, or enjoy water activities like canoeing and aqua aerobics.
