There is a rumor that Nusa Dua is only for honeymooners and people who want to sleep. We would like to correct that.
If you are researching what to do in Nusa Dua, you might worry that it is a “Golden Cage”—beautiful, but boring. The truth is different. Nusa Dua is not boring; it is accessible. Unlike the chaotic streets of Canggu where a simple walk can feel like an extreme sport, Nusa Dua offers a rare luxury in Bali: Infrastructure. This means you can actually be active without fighting for space.
Here is how to explore our neighborhood when you are tired of lying by the pool.
Cycle Without Fear
In most of Bali, riding a bicycle requires nerves of steel to dodge motorbikes and trucks. Here, we have a continuous 5-kilometer beachfront path that connects the entire coastline. You can rent a bicycle at Merusaka and ride from the blowhole at the southern tip all the way to the northern peninsula at sunrise. It is safe, flat, and visually stunning. You are riding with the ocean on one shoulder and tropical gardens on the other. It is the best way to see the top 10 things to do in nusa dua before breakfast.
The Ocean is a Playground, Not a Battleground
Surfers love the big waves in Uluwatu. But if you just want to play in the water, those waves are intimidating. Because Mengiat Beach is protected by a reef, the water is a calm, turquoise lake. This makes it the perfect spot for nusa dua activities that require balance, not bravery. You can launch a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) or a canoe directly from our sand and glide over the coral gardens. You can swim laps in the open ocean without fear of a riptide. It is active, but it is safe.
Walk to the Culture
You don’t need a taxi to find the heart of Indonesia. Just a short walk from our lobby, you will find the Museum Pasifika, home to one of the most significant collections of Asia-Pacific art in the world. In the evening, the Devdan Show at the Nusa Dua Theatre offers a high-energy acrobatic tour of the Indonesian archipelago. You can soak up the history and the spectacle, and then walk back to your room under the stars. No traffic jams. No stress.
