Club Med – Luxurious and vast, offering all-inclusive packages ideal for families.

Part of the renowned international chain, this is the closest resort in Nusa Dua to Tanjung Benoa, thereby offering more cafés, shops, and water sports facilities within walking distance. The welcoming lobby is traditionally designed, while rooms are lavish and well-appointed, offering garden views, walk-in closets, and modern décor. The Club Med is perfect for families: with four divisions according to ages, their Kids Club offers an extensive range of activities, along with a playground and children’s pool. The three pools are often crowded, while the glorious curved beach is virtually private, protected by a breakwater, and empty. With rates inclusive of all meals and most activities and entertainment, some guests rarely venture out during their entire holiday.

Club Med – The Location

• Area: Faces a superb beach within an area more spacious and tranquil compared to the rest of southern Bali. Almost on the invisible border between Nusa Dua and the neighboring region of Tanjung Benoa, with plenty of facilities nearby in both directions.
• Address: Kawasan Pariwisata Nusa Dua BTDC Lot. 6, Jl. Raya Nusa Dua Selatan, Benoa. Northern part of the gated complex of 4 and 5-star resorts at Nusa Dua, a very popular tourist region in southern Bali.
• How to Get There: The only way to/from the airport is by metered taxi or chartered car with a driver. This takes about 25 minutes (13 km via the tollway), depending on traffic.
• Handy to: Facilities (including water sports) at Tanjung Benoa peninsula.

Club Med – The Basics

• Guests: Offers all-inclusive packages that overwhelmingly cater to families, especially from across Asia. Has some adults-only facilities also.
• Kids Club: Uniquely separated according to ages – 0-2 and 2-3 (both more-or-less babysitting), 4-10, and 11-17. Huge range of activities included in the rates such as Balinese dance and art, Indonesian language and cooking, and heart-pumping flying trapeze. Healthy lunches and programs in ecological awareness add to the appeal.
• Beach: Lovely beach: curved, sheltered by a breakwater, and virtually private. Plenty of bright lounge chairs and cabanas.
• Views: Most rooms don’t provide sea views because they’re too far from the beach. Instead, almost all overlook the gardens and/or pools.
• Private Pools/Jacuzzis: None.
• Parking: Plenty of free and secure spots, but think long and hard before driving anywhere in Bali.

Club Med – Food and Drink

• Restaurants: Meals (and some drinks) are part of the all-inclusive package and available at: The Agung – All-day buffets including special sections offering Indian, Japanese, and Chinese food. Lovely Balinese décor and garden views from the terrace. Special meals for children. • Le Batur – Al fresco or air-conditioned inside. Alongside the beach and pools. Casual meals during the day; more elegant and romantic at night. The attached bar offers an impressive wine list.
• Bars: The Kintamani – Chic garden setting for cocktails, views, and a pleasant breeze. • The Beach Bar – Idyllic for drinks and snacks alongside the sea.
• Breakfast: All rates include 3 meals. Breakfast can be eaten at the restaurant, or a continental breakfast can be served to the rooms.
• Room Service: Available 24/7.

Club Med – Rooms

• Room Types: Superior Room • Deluxe Room • Suite
• Smoking Rooms: No smoking in the rooms or public areas but permitted elsewhere.
• Best Room: Suites are larger and quieter, with more appealing décor.
• For Families: Many rooms and suites have connecting doors and are specially designed for families, often with a second bedroom just for children. Most rooms/suites can fit extra single beds, so 2 connecting rooms could accommodate up to 6 guests.

Club Med – 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, so it’s 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 are 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). This is a great way to reach other resorts, beaches, and facilities in Nusa Dua and Tanjung Benoa.

Club Med – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

Rates are all-inclusive, with meals part of the package, so few guests venture out for food. There’s not much nearby anyway, except the Coblong Sari Beach Restaurant & Bar for pizzas and grilled seafood. Just north of the resort beach via the seaside path.
• Sofitel – Neighboring resort, 100m south via the beachside path, offers several terrific options: Cucina (Italian food), Kwee Zeen (contemporary Chinese), and Toya Beach Bar & Grill (buffets and barbeques).

At the Bali Collection mall (via the shuttle bus), the choices are ample and include:

• Gourmet & Café – Lovely courtyard position at the main gate. For seafood, Balinese dishes, and regular live music.
• Aglio Ristorante – Unique setting for Italian food, set-price lunches, and wood-fired pizzas. Helpful photo menu.
• Prada Priority Restaurant – Hugely popular for the set-price lunches, shaded location, and happy hours. Opposite the giant chess board.

Shops

• There are a couple of minimarts north along the main road outside the gate to Nusa Dua, and the lane alongside the resort entrance is lined with stalls selling cheap souvenirs and clothes. Otherwise, get the shuttle bus from the resort to Bali Collection, a delightful outdoor mall in Nusa Dua, with department stores, cavernous souvenir shops, and abundant café/bars.
