Who it suits
Families, first-time visitors and anyone who wants a quiet, safe resort holiday with easy swimming.
Beaches
Geger Beach and the Nusa Dua promenade have gentle water inside the reef. Tanjung Benoa to the north is the base for water sports.
Getting around
It is only about 20 to 30 minutes from the airport via the toll road. Restaurants outside the resorts are fewer than in Seminyak, so many guests use taxis for evenings out.
Things to do
Walk the coastal path, watch the Water Blow spray, visit the Bali Collection mall, or day-trip to Uluwatu and Jimbaran.
Trade-offs
It can feel insulated from local Balinese life, and resort prices are higher than independent guesthouses.
