Guest sentiment
One of Bali's oldest 5-star beachfront hotels, opened in 1983 and now part of Accor's Handwritten Collection, with 381 rooms across oceanfront grounds.
Last updated August 10, 2026
Nusa Dua Beach Hotel and Spa opened in 1983 as one of Bali's original 5-star beachfront properties and joined Accor's Handwritten Collection -- a soft-brand grouping of independent-feeling heritage hotels, similar in concept to Marriott's Autograph Collection -- in September 2024. Its 381 rooms and suites sit across oceanfront gardens with three pools, direct beach access, five restaurants and a kids' club, all built around authentic Balinese architecture. Reviews consistently praise the traditional design, spacious clean rooms and attentive staff, while entry-level rooms have small bathrooms without a bathtub and some fittings read as dated for a property at this tier.
