Planning a Trip

Getting There -- Most hotels in Nusa Dua offer airport pickup, but you can find shuttles and cheap taxis at the airport and in Kuta. (Be sure to take only the official blue-and-yellow metered taxis in Kuta.) Bemos from Denpasar go to Nusa Dua by way of Kuta and Jimbaran.

Getting Around -- These big resorts make it so comfortable, you won't have to leave the grounds -- but even the most starry-eyed honeymooners might want a break from expensive hotel meals. Most hotel taxis are rentable at an exorbitant US$11 (£6.05) per hour; it's smarter to hire a car and driver for a day from a private company such as Amertha Dana (tel. 361/735406). A new swanky mall in Nusa Dua, the Bali Collection (tel. 361/771662; www.bali-collection.com), has an hourly shuttle that makes the rounds to most of the hotels.
