On top of that it’s comparatively cheap, distinctly different and a whimsical world away from Australia. If you have made the plunge and are heading to this tropical paradise here are our personal recommendations on where to stay. We have stayed in each of these hotels and would not recommend anything we had not experienced ourselves. Nusa Dua For divine beaches, brand shopping and luxury head to the southeast coast of Bali. Tip: Find Airbnb properties in Nusa Dua. The perfect family hotel situated right on the beach. Swim up pool bar, kids club, water sports in the sparkling ocean and delicious restaurants.
