Meliã – Perfect location, sublime beach, and world-class gardens.

Boasting one of the finest positions in Nusa Dua, the Meliã is within walking distance of the extensive Bali Collection mall, the worthwhile Museum Pasifika, and the twin headlands which lend Nusa Dua its name. Its curved beach is also glorious: shallow, shady, and sheltered, with a café right on the sand. Perhaps even more impressive are the landscaped tropical gardens with ponds and fountains, reminiscent of the wonderful water-palace at Tirta Gangga in eastern Bali. Traditionally and tastefully designed, all rooms and suites are comfortable and spacious, offering broad balconies/patios with views of the gardens or lagoon-shaped pools which are large enough to feature ‘islands’. The convivial kids club has plenty of games, and numerous activities are offered for the whole family.

Meliã – The Location

• Area: Faces a glorious beach within the most spacious and tranquil part of southern Bali. Convenient for beaches, shops, cafés, and most other attractions.
• Address: Kawasan Pariwisata ITDC Lot N1, Nusa Dua. Midway along the gated complex of 4 and 5-star resorts in 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: Bali Collection mall. Headland with views and temples. Museum Pasifika. Café/bars at The Bay Bali.

Meliã – The Basics

• Guests: Caters very well to all, especially families, though there are also secluded areas and facilities for those without children.
• Kids Club: Bright, airy, and secure. Outdoor area for futsal and trampolining, shady playground, and extra-long list of engaging and culturally-focused activities for those aged 4-7 and 8-12.
• Beach: One of the finest in Nusa Dua. Shallow enough for swimming and flawless white sand. Blends into the headland with the public beach and temples.
• Views: All rooms offer views of the gardens and/or pools. None face the sea.

• Best Room: Secluded and offering extra benefits for guests are the Villas with 1 or 2 bedrooms and private pools.
• For Families: Ask about connecting doors and/or squeezing in an extra single bed into the rooms and suites. Better are the Family Suites, large enough for 4, with a semi-separate second bedroom, while The Level Family Rooms are on 2 floors. Some villas also feature 2 bedrooms.

Meliã – 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, 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.
