Nusa Dua, Seaside resort in Bali, Indonesia.
Nusa Dua is a peninsula resort on Bali's southeastern coast featuring wide sandy beaches and upscale hotels overlooking the Indian Ocean. The planned layout includes maintained beaches, landscaped grounds, and numerous guest facilities throughout the area.
The Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation transformed this area from undeveloped land into a planned resort during the 1970s. This development established it as a major destination for international travelers visiting Bali.
Nusa Dua means "two islands", after Peninsula Island to the south and the smaller, shadier Nusa Dharma Island to the north, which holds Pura Nusa Dharma. The name is also used for the whole resort area, while colloquial "Benoa" refers only to the old Balinese village on the Tanjung Benoa peninsula just north, where a mosque and Chinese and Hindu temples stand close together.
The area has security checkpoints at entry points, and traveling from the international airport takes roughly 40 minutes. It helps to familiarize yourself with the layout and main locations upon arrival.
