Best things to do in Nusa Dua

Get some sand between your toes at Nusa Dua Beach, where you can either relax with a good book and a drink, or partake in some adrenaline-inducing water activities. Come here to swim and picnic, or get out on the waves by sailing or jet skiing. The nearby all-inclusive hotels give access to upscale shopping and 18-hole golf courses.

Take time for shopping, dining, and entertainment at Bali Collection, an indoor collection of retailers, performance stages, and restaurants. Essentially the mall provides a westernized shopping experience for tourists, so it appeals to those wanting a break from the bustle, hawking, and haggling of Bali. Daily performances provide humorous and engaging distractions for those uninterested in shopping, while big-time shoppers will enjoy the range of big brands.

Anticipate a blast of nature's power at Waterblow, where the high tides striking the rocks create an exciting, photogenic spectacle. Carved traditional statues and wooden signposts direct visitors along a paved garden pathway and towards clusters of intricately eroded rocks. Suitable clothing is necessary, as there is a strong likelihood of getting wet.

Sit back at Geger Beach Nusa Dua Bali, a wide stretch of sand lined with local businesses. Rent paddle boards and snorkeling gear from huts on the seafront, and head out into the clear waters for a splash around and an adventure underwater. Have a drink at one of the beachside bars, or share a sit-down meal of freshly caught seafood. The beach can be conveniently accessed by car and bike and boasts a good range of facilities.

Discover the rich world of Asian Pacific art at Museum PASIFIKA, where the diverse collection reflects the region's kaleidoscope of cultures, ethnicities, languages, and art forms. The art gallery contains some 600 works of art and cultural artifacts, ranging from traditional sculptures and carvings to paintings and modern pieces. European depictions of the Asian Pacific region feature side by side with works by local artists. Frequent temporary exhibits provide plenty of reason for a return visit.

Challenge yourself in a luxurious setting at Bali National Golf Club. Try your hand at this 18-hole golf course filled with meticulously trimmed fairways, undulating greens, and water holes. Enjoy the immaculate landscaping and scenic environment, where every hole offers views of the tropical surroundings. Golf carts are available, and each player is appointed a helpful caddy. Take advantage of the clubhouse, which offers refreshing meals and drinks, shower facilities, and spacious locker rooms.
