Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa - Handwritten Collection

Nusa Dua, Bali

Virgin rating

The hotel

Living up to its ‘authentically Bali’ mantra, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa - Handwritten Collection feels like a reincarnated Balinese palace. Every element’s lavish, with its three exquisite tree-fringed pools, sumptuous spa, gym, and seven bars and restaurants all adding to the fantastical feel. But nothing’s quite as regal as its grounds, where tropical greenery spills over balconies, tumbles through gardens, and comes to rest on the pure white sands of its beach. The effect’s a serene setting for garden tours, coconut leaf weaving, and traditional dance classes – and for Gecko Club’s child-focused island experiences. Inside its nine hectares, a dramatic temple-like structure splits to reveal an elaborate lily pond festooned with water features; Balinese guest rooms (including Butler-served Club rooms) divulge garden, pool, or beach scenes; and the incredible bamboo web of its double-decked brasserie opens up to hypnotic Indian Ocean views.

Very nice complex with just about everything you could want. 5 restaurants. Lovely pool and grounds. Beachfront location. Pleasant, spoacious, rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Buffet breakfast offers a wide choice. Just a couple of negatives to note: The restaurants are VERY expensive. The meals are OK, but nothing special for the money. Go into town and eat at a tenth of the price. Note also that, although the beach is wonderful and the sea is clear, it is not deep enough for swimming. You can just sunbathe. Read less

A truly wonderful stay. The room, the food and the service were perfect. We would highly recommend this hotel for couples or families. The sandy beach and warm sea were special. The highlight was the Balinese restaurant where the food was exquisite and the service beyond impeccable. Thank you so much for your hospitality x
