The magnificent beach in front of the Grand Hyatt in Nusa Dua is naturally shaded, pristine, clean, and secluded, with calm water and soft white sand.

Grand Hyatt – Massive and convenient, with world-class facilities and one of Bali’s finest beaches.

The lobby of this enormous resort sets the tone with its lotus ponds, thatched roof, and welcoming staff. Most accommodations are in ‘villages’ in traditionally designed buildings spread over expansive gardens. Rooms and suites are spacious, feature a wide balcony or patio facing the sea or gardens, and designed with Asian décor. The luxurious villas offer seclusion, a beachfront setting, and a large private pool. The curved beach has clean white sand and calm shallow water. Other perks include the five shady pools (some with a swim-up bar), floodlit tennis courts, an outdoor boutique mall, and water sports center. For the family, there are many activities like the beach playground, children’s pool, extra-long waterslides, and energetic kids club.

Grand Hyatt – Local Transport

Walking & Cycling: Walking along the beachside path is often quicker – and certainly more scenic – than the main streets through Nusa Dua. These streets are flat and comparatively quiet and ideal for cycling. Ask reception about renting a bike.
Cars & Taxis: Driving anywhere in Bali is not recommended, but renting a car is possible and should be arranged through the resort. Metered taxis are abundant, cheap, comfortable, and the best option for anywhere in southern Bali. For longer trips, charter a car with a driver. Also, organize this through the resort.
Motorbikes: These are easy to rent (ask at the resort) and helpful in getting around Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa – less so elsewhere in southern Bali. A popular mode of transport is a motorbike taxi called an ojek—book one using the downloadable apps Grab and Gojek.

Grand Hyatt – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

Of course, guests at the Grand Hyatt can eat and drink at any of the other resorts nearby, such as:

Merusaka Nusa Dua – (300m south via the beachside path).
Amarterra – (300m south via the beachside path).

South via the beachside path is:

Warung Yasa Segara Bengiat Five-star setting alongside the beachside path with two-star prices. Famous for tasty meals and cheerful service. Did we mention the fabulous location? 400m south via the beachside path.

There are also a couple of options at the Bali Collection mall (see below) within walking distance (about 300m).

Bebek Tepi Sawah Restaurant – Pleasant outdoor setting. Specializes in roast duck, but other options available. Less than a 10-minute walk north via the main road; then follow the signs.

Most places at the Bay Bali, about 250m north along the beachside path, were also forced to close in 2020-21. These two are worth visiting, if only for the glorious setting facing the beach between the two headlands:

Bebek Bengil Dirty Duck Diner – Shady, breezy, and comfortable seating. Popular for crispy roast duck, but other menu items are available (mostly Indonesian).
Nusa Restaurant – Impressive menu with some ‘Western fusion’ options. Excellent service and is not as expensive as imagined. Colorful beanbags along the path. Also, a pool for guests.
Beachside Path – A number of simple and inexpensive cafés are also lined along the access path to the northern headland, about 500m from the resort via the beachside path.

Nearby Shops

Sadly, most places to eat, drink, and shop at the Bali Collection shopping mall in central Nusa Dua were forced to close in 2020-21. Some had reopened by mid-2022 and more will open up later. This delightful outdoor shopping center is only 300m north of the resort via the main road. (The free shuttle bus, once provided by Bali Collection, may recommence and pick up passengers at the resort.)
