Nusa Dua is Bali's top-end beach resort -
a luxury tourist enclave, planned to ensure that the
mistake of Kuta would not be repeated ! In a major
departure from the development at Kuta, Nusa Dua was
planned from the early 1970s, with advise from the
World Bank. The site was chosen not just for its fine
weather and white beaches, but also because the area
was dry, relatively barren, aparsely populated, and
isolated from most of Bali's population centres. The
objective was an isolated luxury resort, which would
bring in the tourist dollars whilst having minimal
impact on the rest of Bali.
Tanjung Benoa on the southern side of Benoa
Harbour the panisula of Tanjung Benoa extends north
from the resort of Nusa Dua. The village of Tanjung
Benoa has become much cleaner ad more affluent in
recent years and the area is something of an activities
center for Nusa Dua.
In Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa you will find Hotels
and Villas that mostly higher standard than Kuta or
Sanur.
