The magnificent beach in front of Grand Hyatt in Nusa Dua is naturally shaded, pristine, clean, and secluded, with calm water and soft white sand.
Grand Hyatt – Massive, convenient, and featuring one of Bali’s best beaches.
This resort faces one of the longest and loveliest resort beaches on the island: curved, sheltered, and well-shaded. The lobby sets the tone with its lotus ponds, traditional thatched roof, and welcoming staff. Rooms are in ‘villages’ of gigantic, traditionally-designed buildings spread over a vast expanse of lawns, gardens, and ponds. The spacious rooms feature a stylishly modern, Asian (not necessarily Balinese) décor and wide balconies/patios facing the sea or gardens. Villas offer more seclusion and privacy. Other attractions include five shady pools (some with a swim-up bar), tennis courts, outdoor arcade of boutiques, and a water-sports center. Endless activities on offer for younger ones, as well as a beach playground, children’s pool, waterslide, and welcoming kids club.

- For Families: Most rooms can convert the sofas to single beds, and some suites have connecting doors. A few villas have 2 or 3 bedrooms.
Grand Hyatt – Local Transport
- Walking & Cycling: It’s often a lot quicker – and certainly more scenic – to walk along the beachside path than the main road through Nusa Dua. This road is flat and comparatively quiet, which is ideal for cycling. Ask the reception about renting a bike.
- Public Transport: In lieu of any public transport or shuttle buses around Bali, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Nusa Dua with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: To go anywhere within southern Bali, metered taxis are abundant, cheap, and comfortable. For longer distances, charter a car with a driver for a negotiable fare. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali; however, motorbikes are a fun and easy way to get around Nusa Dua and neighboring Tanjung Benoa but not elsewhere in southern Bali. All transport options can be arranged at the resort.
- Local Shuttle Buses: Free shuttle buses link major hotels in Nusa Dua with the Bali Collection mall (see below). And this is a great way to reach other resorts, beaches, and facilities in Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa.
Grand Hyatt – What’s Nearby?
Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars
-
The Grand Hyatt is far closer to a wide selection of places to eat and drink than most resorts in Nusa Dua.
- Merusaka Nusa Dua – A few minutes’ walk south down the beachside path, featuring Ja’Jan Bistro (casual all-day dining close to the beach) and Gading Restaurant (elegant décor and breezy terrace for Japanese cuisine).
There is also an excellent choice at the Bali Collection mall, which is (unlike most rival resorts) within walking distance (about 300m).
- Aroma Fusion Restaurant – Quaint corner setting for Chinese food and happy hours.
- Aglio Ristorante – Unique setting for Italian food, set-price lunches, and wood-fired pizzas. Helpful photo menu.
- Gourmet & Café – Lovely courtyard setting at the main gate. For seafood, Balinese dishes, and regular live music.
Even better is the selection at The Bay Bali, about 200m northeast along the beachside path, which includes:
- Agendaz Beach Club – Trendy, with perfect seaside position.
- Bebek Bengil Dirty Duck Diner – Ubud-based institution for crispy duck.
- Pirates Bay Bali – Treehouses and fun open-air setting for families.
Nearby Shops
- Bali Collection is a delightful outdoor mall in Nusa Dua, with department stores, cavernous souvenir shops, and abundant cafés/bars. About 700m via the main road, or take the free hourly shuttle bus provided by the mall.
