The story of Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua was developed from the 1970s as a planned resort area on the southeastern tip of Bali. Its large hotels sit in landscaped gardens along a coast protected by an offshore reef, keeping the water calm.

A paved beach promenade links the resorts, and at Water Blow the ocean crashes through a rocky gap, sending spray high into the air.
