This area has been very well developed and provides you with modern roads, and gorgeous gardens that are very well maintained.
There is no highway through Nusa Dua and as a consequence it is a very quiet place to go to without the stupendously crowded beaches that you will find in the more budget oriented resorts and spots.

The diving in Nusa Dua is incredible as the lagoon is protected and there are no big waves.
The water is a lot warmer here and so the sea life is abounding and definitely worth taking a look at.

You can ask at the hotel you are staying in about the Bali tours available that will give you a private service.
If the tide is low there are 2 tiny islands that you can walk to or hire a boat.
These aren't populated and you may be lucky enough to have an island all to yourself for a day.

For the more leisure conscious tourist, there are masses of shopping areas to browse through; Nusa Dua is known for its exquisite boutiques and shopping facilities.

Nusa Dua hotels generally all offer air conditioning, but just ask to make certain, there's not much worse than the humidity at night if you're not accustomed to it.
If taking a short break to explore the island it is advisable to bear a few things in mind.
The more rustic areas aren't as accommodating when it comes to toilets, you will stumble upon some real horrors.
Always carry toilet tissue with you as few rural toilets will supply any or hand soap, so take some of that with you too.
There are thousands of temples that are dotted all over the island and a trip to Bali without visiting 1 wouldn't be a complete trip to Bali.
You would be missing out on a view into the culture and architectural designs of a wonderful nation.
Firstly you'll be needed to wear a sarong when entering the temples and though they do offer them for rent at every temple; it is far easier to take your own therefore avoiding having to queue up especially if there is a huge tour group.
