Getting Around the hotels in Nusa Dua Bali and places to eat....

The hotels in Nusa Dua Bali with its wide streets have been planned in detail so it is pretty hard to get lost here. There are hotel signs everywhere and there are only a couple of streets which connect all the resorts to each other.

Nonetheless this isn't the place to go for a stroll since everything is laid out on a grand scale.

 

Long driveways lead to opulent hotels in Nusa Dua Bali

 

Fortunately on the beachfront there's a 5-km long foot path all the way to Tanjung Benoa where you can do some jogging in the morning or where you can pick out one of the many resorts restaurants in the evening.

During the day it's too hot to move around so I advise you to relax at the pool and order yourself another cocktail...

All of the hotels in Nusa Dua Bali have a free shuttle service which take you to the Nusa Dua Galleria Shopping Mall also called the Bali Collection. Here you find many restaurants, Starbucks, ATM's, a grocery store and of course loads of shops...

Nusa Dua Beach is the only place where we haven't seen anybody biking around or renting a motor bike to explore the area.

There are always some travelers who would love to do this but these facilities are just not available. You might try your luck just outside the gates in the village of Bualu.

You can also hire a taxi. When you ask for one mention to the hotel staff that it should be a "Bluebird Taxi". This company is the most reliable one and they switch on the taxi meter automatically.

Important Addresses and Handy Phone Numbers

You can always leave your postcards at the resort's reception but when you have some bigger items you can find the Post Office on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai. It's located just outside the gates on the left side of the road to Jimbaran.

All the hotels in Nusa Dua Bali have a 24-hour doctor service on call but there is a special clinic as well. It's called the Bali Nusa Dua Emergency Clinic 1 (tel: 361-771324) and it's located on Jalan Pratama no.81.

For more serious injuries I would go to the following two clinics:

The Bali International Medical Center (0361-761263) which is located on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai no. 100X near the Galleria Shopping Arcade in Kuta.

The SOS Medika Bali Clinic (Emergency number: 0361-710 505) is also located on Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai no. 505X, this is the road between Kuta and Sanur.

The Police Station can be found in Tanjung Benoa, north of Nusa Dua Beach almost at the end of Jalan Pratama.

Restaurants

There are no independent restaurants around Nusa Dua Beach, everything is in-house and ranges from Indonesian, Western to Japanese cuisine. Some resorts have 4 or 5 different restaurants so don't worry, you'll find your favorite place.

When you don't feel like eating at the resort anymore there are many good other options as well. You could go to the Bali Collection where they have a wide variety of restaurants or you can visit the restaurants on Jalan Pratama in Tanjung Benoa.
