Destination To Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua, with it's arid climate and unarable land was once one of the less productive areas of Bali, is now a thriving tourist district with a host of international five star hotels that will pamper you to no end, as well as one of Asia's best golf courses and one of the largest shopping complexes in Bali. Nusa Dua's calm clear waters and white sand beach is ideal for beach and water sport activities, the surf breaks in Nusa Dua are considered by many to be just as good if not better than most areas in Bali, best months for surfing are from October through to April.

Nusa Dua is the name of the peninsula that extends off the southern tip of the island of Bali, and it’s also the name of the island’s major international resort area on that peninsula. This area was specifically created during the 1980s to house high-end resorts and conference centers, and as a way of showcasing Indonesia in general.

The resort area is similarly as beautiful as much of the rest of the island, but in most ways it’s quite the opposite of everything else. Much of Bali’s infrastructure and all of its charm were already firmly in place when tourist began discovering it in earnest in the early 1970s. So as the tourism boom gained momentum in the traditional cities and towns, and particularly concentrated in the Kuta/Legian area, the scene always reflected local sensibilities and the unique culture of the island. But Nusa Dua was purpose-built from the ground up to be exactly what it is, so in some ways it has more in common with modern-day Las Vegas or Macau than it does with the rest of Bali.
The roads in the area are new and well maintained, and there’s even a guard gate you must pass through in order to reach much of the resort section. Few, if any, locals live independently in the area, although the massive support staffs of most of the large hotels are primarily locals so it’s not like you won’t come in contact with actual Balinese while in Nusa Dua.

Should you stay in Nusa Dua?
The answer to this question will have more to do with your budget and your goals than anything else. Places tend to be far more expensive than elsewhere, but these truly are international 3, 4, and 5-star hotels with no corners cut. On most of the rest of the island even the nicer places tend to be more casual and not as “professional” (for better or worse).
If you are coming for a honeymoon or some other special occasion, then Nusa Dua might be the ideal place. It really does have that tropical paradise dream-like feeling to it, even though there are those that criticize anyone wanting to stay in this exclusive area. But with this in mind, if you do choose to stay in Nusa Dua you’ll be cheating yourself in a huge way if you don’t explore other parts of the island. You might say that Nusa Dua is like the most expensive restaurant in Disneyland. There’s nothing wrong with having a meal there, but to visit Disneyland and skip the rides and everything else is a near criminal waste of a holiday.
If you stay in Nusa Dua you can skip the grungy surf and nightlife city of Kuta, but you should absolutely plan at least a day trip to the inland arts village of Ubud. You can arrange an excursion there from Nusa Dua, and you should try to do it as early in your stay as possible because it may inspire you to see other worthwhile parts of Bali before you leave.

Where to stay in Nusa Dua
As mentioned above, the area is mostly a collection of resort hotels that range from nice to world-class. Don’t expect to find a budget hotel in this area, and if you are on a tight budget this is the worst part of the island to visit anyway. Accommodations in Bali tend to be generally affordable, with the exception of Nusa Dua.

Getting to Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is about 10 kilometers from the Bali International Airport. You can rent a car at the airport and drive in about 20 minutes, but hiring your own driver and van for island sightseeing may cost even less, believe it or not, and that way you don’t pay for a rental car on the days you plan on staying in Nusa Dua.
A taxi to or from the airport will cost under US$10 each way and will take around 20 minutes as well. You can prepay for a taxi at a special counter at the airport, which actually costs just a bit more than if you pay the driver, but at least you know you won’t be taken the long way and charged even more

Nyepi day ( Silence Day ) March 26, 2009

Hari Raya Nyepi - Nyepi Day ( Silence Day )
is a Hindu Day of Silence or the Hindu New Year in the Balinese Saka calendar. The largest celebrations are held in Bali as well as in Balinese Hindu communities around Indonesia. On New Year's Eve the villages are cleaned, food is cooked for 2 days and in the evening as much noise is made as possible to scare away the devils. On the following day, Hindus do not leave their homes, cook or engage in any activity. Streets are deserted, and tourists are not allowed to leave hotel complexes. this year, Nyepi day ( Silence Day ) will be at Wednesday, 26 March 2009 (Caka Year 1931)
Nyepi Day (Silence Day) is also determined using the Balinese calendar, the eve of Nyepi falling on the night of the new moon whenever it occurs around March/April each year. Therefore, the date for Nyepi changes every year, and there is not a constant number of days difference between each Nyepi as there is for such days as Galungan and Kuningan. To find out when Nyepi falls in a given year, you will need information on the cycles of the moon for that year. Whenever the new moon falls between mid-March and mid-April, that night will be the night of great activity and exorcism island-wide, while the next day will be the day of total peace and quiet, where everything stops for a day.
