Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa - Handwritten Collection

Nusa Dua, Bali

Virgin rating

The hotel

Living up to its ‘authentically Bali’ mantra, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa - Handwritten Collection feels like a reincarnated Balinese palace. Every element’s lavish, with its three exquisite tree-fringed pools, sumptuous spa, gym, and seven bars and restaurants all adding to the fantastical feel. But nothing’s quite as regal as its grounds, where tropical greenery spills over balconies, tumbles through gardens, and comes to rest on the pure white sands of its beach. The effect’s a serene setting for garden tours, coconut leaf weaving, and traditional dance classes – and for Gecko Club’s child-focused island experiences. Inside its nine hectares, a dramatic temple-like structure splits to reveal an elaborate lily pond festooned with water features; Balinese guest rooms (including Butler-served Club rooms) divulge garden, pool, or beach scenes; and the incredible bamboo web of its double-decked brasserie opens up to hypnotic Indian Ocean views.

Our stay here for our 50th Wedding Anniversry was made special by the facilities and staff. From one end where the Spa and Tennis Courts are through past all the swimming pools and bars and restaurants to the other end there is something to see and do. Our accommodation was comfortable and looked after daily.

Very nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. I stayed here at the end of a two week tour of Indonesia starting in Jakarta. Breakfast was excellent, a few unexpected visitors at breakfast such as a heron but they kept far enough away. Lovely swimming pools and loungers on the beach. The spa looked nice but I didn't use it. I ate at The Tamarind for… Read more
Very nice hotel with friendly helpful staff. I stayed here at the end of a two week tour of Indonesia starting in Jakarta. Breakfast was excellent, a few unexpected visitors at breakfast such as a heron but they kept far enough away. Lovely swimming pools and loungers on the beach. The spa looked nice but I didn't use it. I ate at The Tamarind for each of my 3 nights, it was very good. You can walk along a walkway past the other 5 star hotels but for me the disadvantages are there was less within walking distance compared to our previous hotel in Sanur. But overall I loved it, thank goodness for the A/C! Read less

I stayed here 12 years ago, so I was pleased to see how beautifully maintained this (traditional) Bali-style hotel is (the love and care shows). We had wonderful dining experiences (especially Tamarind restaurant), and a few average banquets. Miss Three was uninspired by the Kids Club, the room was bright and clean with friendly staff; but she was not keen. The program didn't seem to use the resort facilities, getting the kids out to feed the ducks and fish, or use the beach etc. It felt wrong putting her in a room when there was so much lovely outdoor space. The pools and beach were a little warm (don't blame the hotel for that, was just a bit disappointing). The room was cool, a good size, and quiet; we had joining rooms, which worked well for our intergenerational family. I used the gym, but found it too warm; the floor matting was hot, and smelled of recycled tyres, bare concrete would be cooler and nicer to use; treadmills were old and could use an update. My negatives were minor, because overall we had a lovely holiday here, and hope to return. Read less
