How to Arrive
Ngurah Rai International Airport lies about ten kilometres from the hotel, around twenty to thirty minutes by car depending on traffic. The hotel arranges airport transfers, often more convenient than negotiating with airport taxis. Bali charges foreign visitors a tourist levy, payable online or on arrival, in addition to the visa on arrival for most nationalities.
The Bali Mandara toll road connects Nusa Dua and Jimbaran with the airport and Sanur over the sea, a fast route avoiding congestion on the bypass. Tolls are paid by electronic card, which drivers usually have.
Ride hailing apps such as Grab and Gojek operate in southern Bali, but some areas around Nusa Dua and Uluwatu restrict pickups by app drivers. Bluebird taxis, with meters, are a reliable alternative.
Renting a car with driver for a full day is a popular way to explore Bali, including Ubud, the rice terraces and temples. Prices are reasonable, and drivers act as informal guides. The hotel can help organise this.
Scooters offer flexibility but require experience. Traffic in southern Bali is dense and chaotic, and accidents involving tourists are frequent. Wearing a helmet and carrying the correct licence are essential.
Fast boats to Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and the Gili Islands depart from Sanur and Padang Bai. Transfers from the hotel to Sanur take around thirty minutes via the toll road.
Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, lies about one and a half hours north, depending on traffic. Many visitors combine a few days in the south with a stay in Ubud.
