The massive Hilton Resort features four huge lagoon-shaped pools with sandy beaches, fountains, islands, bridges, and sun loungers.

Hilton Resort – Family-friendly opulence with a breathtaking cliff-side setting.

At this massive resort carved from an extended cliff, an elevator plummets 15 levels from the lobby to the exquisite white-sand beach below. Among the many gigantic buildings (which do look a little dated) are 21 types of accommodation. Ranging from ground-level rooms with direct access from a patio to one of four pools to the Presidential Suite Ocean View with two bedrooms and two balconies for twice the views. Many rooms have ocean views. The main lagoon-shaped pool is large enough to feature sandy “beaches” and waterfalls, with angled palms that add to the tropical holiday vibe. The Hilton also offers amenities rarely found elsewhere, like tennis courts, a medical clinic, and an amphitheater for traditional performances. The resort caters to families with special rates, an adventure playground, and the Jungle Kids Club. The resort is more isolated and about 5km from Nusa Dua but easily accessible by resort shuttlebus.

Hilton Resort – The Location

Area: Faces a magnificent beach along the southeastern edge of Bukit Peninsula, about 5km from central Nusa Dua, a gated area of top-end resorts.
Address: Jalan Raya Nusa Dua Selatan road in southern Bali.
How to Get There: The only way to/from the airport is by a metered taxi or a chartered car with a driver, which should take about 25 minutes (15km), depending on traffic.

Hilton Resort – The Basics

Guests: Caters very well for all – from families relishing all the activities to couples seeking seclusion and romance.
Kids’ Club: The Jungle Kids Club offers an adventure playground, as well as movies, books, and toys for the younger ones.
Beach: The water can be rough sometimes, but the resort provides lifeguards. The sand is wide, white, clean, and packed with lounge chairs and umbrellas.
Views: One building of rooms provides direct ocean views and is close enough to hear the waves. Most rooms, however, are more distant from the sea or face the gardens and pools.
Kitchens: Larger villas have magnificent kitchens.
Private Pools/Jacuzzis: All villas have a private pool.
 Extras: Free shuttlebus to central Nusa Dua.
Parking: Some free and secure parking is available, but think long and hard before driving anywhere in Bali.

Hilton Resort – Local Transport

Walking & Cycling: Too far to walk to Nusa Dua and very little within walking distance. No bicycles to rent.
Cars & Taxis: A few taxis ply the main roads in central Nusa Dua and are a cheap and comfortable way to reach anywhere in southern Bali. For longer distances, charter a car with a driver. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, but a rental is possible. Organize all transport options at the resort.
Motorbikes: These are useful for getting around the region; ask at the hotel about renting one through a local agency. A popular way to get around is by motorbike taxi called an ojek for a set fare. Drivers may not come out this far but try through the downloadable apps Grab and Gojek

Hilton Resort – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants, Bars, & Shops

Ritz-Carlton – All the restaurants and bars at the neighboring Ritz-Carlton resort are within a few minutes walk south via the beach. These include: Bejana – Award-winning menu, and stylish setting on a clifftop. Specializes in Indonesian food. Dinner only. The Beach Grill – Casual, beachside, with an extensive menu focusing on seafood. Intimate at night.
Apurva Kempinksi – This impossibly huge resort south of the Hilton offers many options.

Bali Collection: Most places to eat, drink, and shop at the mall in central Nusa Dua (5km from the resort) closed in 2020-21. Some had reopened by mid-2022, and more are opening up. If the shuttlebus offered by the resort goes to this delightful outdoor mall, try:

Bebek Tepi Sawah – One in a chain of classy bistros around Bali specializing in roast duck. Pleasant setting, including private areas with cushions on the floor.

The Bay Bali: Unfortunately, most restaurants and bars here (5km from the resort) also closed during 2020-21. Facing the glorious curved beach between the two headlands in central Nusa Dua, a few have reopened, including:

Bebek Bengil Dirty Duck Diner – Another classy eatery specializing in roast duck. Wide range of Indonesian classics, too.
Nusa Restaurant – Extensive menu of western and Asian ‘fusion’ meals. New, colorful, and cheerful. Beanbags along the path. Next to Bebek Bengil.
