The Bale Nusa Dua, nr Geger Beach, Nusa Dua, Bali - Explore & Book

"The Balé Nusa Dua by LifestyleRetreats brings to mind the phrase "live like a king". Walk up its vast sweeping steps, past endless polished limestone and a central cascading waterfall and you're in a modern, minimalist palace. Architect Antony Liu has applied his clean cut palette on an impressive scale. Set on a hillside in the upmarket enclave of Nusa Dua, its individual pool villas are cutting-edge contemporary design. Each villa has its own small garden, with a daybed the size of a small house. Walk into the bathroom and you could find yourself drifting down into your own infinity swimming pool. What's clever is how they've combined the seclusion of private walled enclosures without losing a sense of open space. You can look out, nobody looks in. Your own butler checks you in and will sort out any trips you need. With armies of staff, ultra style, funky restaurants and a fabulous spa, they don't come more luxurious than this. Highs High-style, ultra-private villas, all with own infinity pools – some of the most seductive rooms on the island that make you think twice about bothering to leave Soothing atmosphere and total luxury, including highly personalised service Excellent spa with inspired treatments and plenty of couples options Striking minimalist design, a complete contrast to the usual Balinese decor Just a 30-minute drive from the airport, perfect for relaxing at the beginning or end of your trip Lows Cut off from the outside world and not for those seeking a traditional Balinese experience. Ideal for those wanting to cocoon themselves but not if you want shops, restaurants and culture No direct access to Geger Beach – though the beach club is a short walk or drive away Some minor signs of wear and tear, the limestone isn't as gleaming as it once was A romantic retreat, no children under 16" - Aidan Forestier-Walker
