After Jimbaran, Ubud, and Seminyak, we decided to spend our last week in Nusa Dua, a peninsula in South Bali well-known as an enclave of high-end hotels and resorts. The beaches here are glorious—deep, long, and clean sand. We made the right choice by choosing Conrad Bali for our final days in Bali.

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of big hotels or resorts, but Conrad Bali positively changed my mind. We were lucky to stay in a private 62 sqm luxury villa featuring modern Balinese design with an exotic feel. It included a king bed, a dressing room, a walk-in wardrobe, and patio doors leading out to the garden, complete with a plunge pool, outdoor tub, and Balinese bale. The one-bedroom Conrad Pool Villas are also perfect for honeymoons and romantic escapes in Bali, and guests enjoy all the exclusive amenities found in the Conrad Suites.

From luxury Balinese villas to the 358 rooms at Conrad Bali, guests can expect a tasteful, stylish, spacious, and comfortable stay, accented with authentic Indonesian elements. Located in Tanjung Benoa at the southern end of the island, the resort boasts a lovely beach facing the harbor, perfect for water sports, including introductory scuba diving, parasailing, jet skiing (at a discreet distance), and sailing aboard a catamaran or glass-bottom boat.

This is a family-friendly resort, but the atmosphere is remarkably tranquil. The pools at the Conrad are fantastic. There is a main pool (which we never had trouble finding sun loungers around) and a lagoon pool that wraps around some of the rooms. Guests can relax in the expansive pool surrounded by lush palm trees or sunbathe on the sandy beach—just at the foot of the property—spanning across 350 meters. The Lagoon rooms are excellent for families with kids, as the beach outside the Conrad is not particularly great for swimming.

The resort also offers a private romantic dinner by night, where you and your partner can enjoy a pavilion to yourselves, complete with an exquisite multi-course dinner prepared especially for you in a candlelit setting. There is a beautiful wedding chapel at the Conrad Bali Resort, so if you are looking for a wedding location, definitely check it out. We loved Rin, the Japanese restaurant that serves both traditional and interesting fusion creations.

I had an amazing spa treatment outdoors with an ocean view, incorporating ancient Balinese techniques alongside Western treatments. Each bespoke Jiwa Spa treatment begins with a welcoming foot ritual and includes complimentary use of our leisure facilities. The hotel offers other activities as well, such as yoga and fitness classes, signature treatments for both ladies and gentlemen, as well as treatments for kids.

Conrad Bali at Nusa Dua left a great impression on us, and it was hard to say goodbye.

Great pool areas with ocean view.

Perfect sand swimming pools for families with kids.

Our one-bedroom Conrad Pool Villa was just excellent.

Missing the outdoor frangipani and roses baths so much.

I am officially frangipani obsessed.

I had one of the bestJiwa Spa signature Balinese massage ever.

RIN restaurant has the best of Japanese cuisine and offers a fresh interpretation by incorporating an international twist.
Whether it is a steaming bowl of Ramen noodles, the finest Sushi or a Teppanyaki dinner, you will find them on our menu.

The SUKU restaurant, connects with the culinary heritage of the ‘Island of the Gods’ and beyond. Suku offers authentic street food from Bali, Java, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore, prepared with the freshest produce and the best meats and seafood, served in an open, casual ambience. Vibrant and exciting Balinese dance and musical performances accompany themed buffet evenings on select days.

The Eight Degrees South restaurant was great for dinner. We enjoyed having dinner with the ocean breeze and under the moonlight. Great seafood dishes with a contemporary presentation, and each dish has been meticulously selected to ensure an idyllic beachfront al-fresco dining experience.

Celebrate your wedding in Bali at the most iconic chapel on the island. Its asymmetrical, stunning lines overlook shimmering reflection pools and walkways of finest marble. Infinity Chapel is an architecturally unique wedding venue, floating two meters above sea level. Conrad offers a choice of wedding packages that can be tailored to individual requirements.
