Nusa Dua is a planned resort enclave on the southeast tip of the Bukit peninsula. Large beachfront hotels, a convention centre and landscaped gardens sit inside a managed area with security gates, which makes it popular with families, couples and conference visitors.

Over the water on the Bali Mandara toll road

Most drivers take the Bali Mandara toll road, which runs across the Benoa bay on a long bridge from near the airport to Nusa Dua. It avoids the busy bypass through Jimbaran and is the main reason this transfer is quick for south Bali.

The toll is paid electronically by the driver, and on a private transfer it is part of the price you see when booking.

Entering the ITDC resort area

Nusa Dua's main hotel zone is managed by ITDC, the state tourism development company. Vehicles pass through security gates at the entrances, and cars may be briefly checked before they continue to the hotels. Many resorts also have their own security check at the driveway.

These checks are routine and usually take only a few minutes. Give the full name of your resort when booking, since several hotels in the area have similar names.

Where Nusa Dua hotels are

Inside the gated enclave
The large resorts along the beach promenade, close to the shopping centre and the convention halls.
Sawangan and the southern cliffs
Further south, with resorts and villas on a quieter stretch of coast, a few minutes longer by car.
Outside the gates
Smaller hotels and villas in Bualu and along the roads around the enclave, often with easier access.

Back to the airport from Nusa Dua

The toll road makes the return fairly predictable. Allow about 35 minutes plus time for the gate exit, and leave around three and three-quarter hours before an international flight.
