The massive Hilton Resort features 4 huge lagoon-shaped pools with sandy beaches, fountains, islands, bridges, and lots of sun loungers.
Hilton Resort – Opulence with family-friendly facilities and an astonishing cliff-side setting.
This massive resort, recently renovated and close to Nusa Dua (accessible by hotel shuttle bus), is somehow carved from a cliff facing an exquisite beach (with big waves at times). Family Rooms feature two bunk beds and colorful Balinese-style décor, while the ground floor Deluxe Rooms have access to a pool from their patios, and villas feature private pools. The lagoon-shaped pools are grand enough to feature ‘beaches’ and ‘waterfalls’, and the resort offers amenities rarely found elsewhere, e.g. a medical clinic and amphitheater for traditional performances.

Hilton Resort – The Location

- Address: Jalan Raya Nusa Dua Selatan road in southern Bali.
- How to Get There: The only way to/from the airport is by metered taxi or chartered car with a driver, which should be about 25 minutes (depending on traffic). Easily accessible from southern Bali by taxi; by chartered car from elsewhere.

- Extras: Free shuttle bus to Nusa Dua, with its abundant shops, cafés, and other facilities.

- For Families: Family Rooms are ideal, with colorful bean bags and bunk beds for 2 children, without feeling cramped. Otherwise, get rooms with connecting doors.
Hilton Resort – Local Transport
- Walking & Cycling: Too far to walk to Nusa Dua and very little within walking distance. No bicycles to rent (which is unfortunate).
- Public Transport & Shuttle Buses: Neither along this part of the coast because it is outside of the Nusa Dua area.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: Renting a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, but a motorbike is a great way to get around Nusa Dua – but nowhere else in southern Bali. For short distances, get a metered taxi; for longer trips, charter a car with a driver. All transport options can be arranged at the reception.

Hilton Resort – The Hotel
The Hilton Resort is located south of Nusa Dua, with few facilities within walking distance. It faces a stretch of Geger beach, along the southeast part of Bukit Peninsula.
Formerly known as the Grand Nikko, this vast and traditionally-designed resort is now part of the Hilton chain.
The 4 pools are shaped like lagoons and feature sandy ‘beaches’.
There is so much space and abundant lawns and trees.
The main pool is beautifully positioned, facing the ocean and with plenty of shade.
One of the smaller pools features infinity edges and is more popular among adult guests.
Along the side of the main pool are several relaxing gazebos.
The resort faces a magnificent stretch of sand, but the sea can be rough at times for swimming.
There isn’t much natural shade on the beach, but the resort does provide abundant lounge chairs.
The small playground is part of the Jungle Camp kids club.
At the lobby, the Delicatessen provides coffee, snacks, and pastries.
There are several shops near the lobby and other useful facilities for guests.
Cuisine at the Paon Bali Resto & Bar focuses on local delights such as roast pig.
Rooms on the highest levels offer the best possible ocean views.
The décor in the bedrooms is colorful, although not necessarily traditional in design.
Family Rooms contain bunk beds.
The décor is more traditional and appealing in the more expensive rooms.
A cluster of modest facilities, including 3 places to eat, a spa, and minimart are within a few minutes’ walk of the main gate.
Among the cluster outside the hotel gate is a warung (food stall) offering padang food, i.e. a selection of dishes of (often) cold food.
Next door to the warung, and a more palatable option, is Rantun’s Place for simple and affordable meals.
Within a few minutes by the hotel shuttle bus, Bali Collection is a lovely outdoor shopping center.
Tropical is one of many great places to eat at Bali Collection, and features live music most nights.
Particularly inviting is Gourmet & Café at the main gate in Bali Collection.
Also popular within Bali Collection is Coco Bistro. Check rates and availability: Hilton Resort
