Nestled in the heart of Bali’s Nusa Dua, our recent retreat at the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa unfolded as a four-night journey immersed in authentic Balinese charm. Despite being an older establishment, the hotel effortlessly marries tradition with modern comfort, making our stay an unforgettable experience.
Accommodation:
Choosing the deluxe garden-facing room proved to be a wise decision. The room exuded a perfect blend of comfort and Balinese aesthetics, showcasing the meticulous maintenance of the property. The allure of genuine Balinese architecture was evident in every corner, adding a layer of cultural richness to our stay.
Recreation:
The hotel’s crown jewels are undoubtedly its three inviting pools, where we spent leisurely evenings, soaking in the serene atmosphere. With direct beach access, Tamarind, the on-site restaurant, became our go-to spot for sundowners, offering panoramic views of the mesmerizing Balinese sunset.
Culinary Delights:
Our culinary journey at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa was a delight. The Asian restaurant treated us to Balinese staples like mie goreng and nasi goreng, providing a delectable exploration of local flavors. The breakfast spread, a daily indulgence, showcased a variety of sumptuous options to kickstart our mornings.
Exploring Local Markets:
For those seeking a taste of Balinese life beyond the hotel, a local market not too far away provided a perfect opportunity for souvenir shopping. Additionally, a small market that set up every evening near the hotel offered convenience, albeit at a slightly higher cost.
Cultural Experiences:
Immersing ourselves in Balinese culture, we attended an authentic Balinese buffet dinner accompanied by a mesmerizing traditional kecak dance performance. The event added a cultural layer to our stay, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the rich traditions of the island.
Spa Retreat:
No visit to Bali is complete without a spa experience, and Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa delivered a rejuvenating escape. The spa’s serene ambiance and skilled therapists provided a perfect complement to our days of exploration.
