One and a half year has passed since my last trip to Bali in October 2017 and I´m so happy to be back to this beautiful island. My trip over here started in Nusa Dua, which was also the place where I have stayed in 2015, when I was visiting Bali for the first time ever. This time I had the pleasure to explore the Novotel Nusa Dua, where I enjoyed 3 wonderful nights..

As you know I´m regularly working with Accor hotels and previously stayed at many of their hotels. The cooperation started when I went on my trip around the world in 2017 but yet this was my first visit at an Accor hotel in Bali. The Novotel Bali Nusa Dua Hotel & Residences is close to the airport and it needs only a 20-minute ride to the hotel. The hotel offers a shuttle service which in about 15€ one way, which I also ordered for myself. I was guided to my room, after a quick check in. Actually, I was spoiled with a suite, coming with a full furniture kitchen, spacious bathroom, a living room area and a king-size bed with access to my private terrace from where I could overview the 1500sqm lagoon pool. The Novotel Bali Nusa Dua Hotel & Residences features a total of 169 rooms and suites, coming all with a modern and comfortable design. Also, free Wi-Fi is accessible all over the resort.

On the next morning I enjoyed a healthy breakfast in the hotel restaurant called square. The breakfast buffet offers various dishes and a daily changing selection for vegan and vegetarian options. The buffet also features an egg station and gluten free food, such as a fresh juice offer and infused water, tea and coffee. The square restaurant also opens for themed dinners. I was joining the Balinese Cultural Nights, where there are live performances of the Balinese dance and even guests get the chance to join the performance at the end. There are also other themed dinners just as an Italian night, beach barbecue and prime barbecue.

All over the resort guests will be able to enjoy their privacy and have a pleasant time, enjoying the blooming garden scenery, full of flowers and small lounges. The hotel is also popular for families, who also have the option to use the kids club, offering unique cultural experiences and fun activities for the smaller ones.

A facility I have visited every day during my stay was the In Balance Spa, which is also featuring a gym. I have visited the gym every day and while it´s a hotel gym, there are still plenty of offers to try while working out during the holidays, besides a schedule full of daily gym classes (yoga, water sport, cycling and much more), guests can also workout in a boxing area, use TRX or the cardio and weight stations inside the gym. Trainers are assisting the guests most of the time and even personal training is available. Besides the gym, the spa is obviously focusing on treatments and relaxation. Guests are invited to use the separated saunas and jacuzzi or enjoy one of the treatments, which are offered in the beauty salon or the treatment rooms. The Novotel Bali Nusa Dua Hotel & Residences also offers a flower bath which is truly and exaptational experience. I however enjoyed a 75-minute bamboo massage. The special essence of this treatment is a piece of bamboo, which is heated up and used for massage. Definitely this treatment will resolve all of one´s tensions in any are of the body. It left me super rested and pain relieved after my long flight with a layover from Sri Lanka to Bali.

As Novotel belongs to the Accor hotel group, there are also some specials. Bali wants to preserve the Balinese culture and that’s why Accor launched a program all over the world, featuring the most iconic signature dishes for each destination. One of these treats is the Balinese cake, which is definitely one of my favorite foods to eat in Bali. It even comes vegan and with a lot of coconut. For those who would rather enjoy a cool drink the gourmet bar might be the place to be. Located by the pool guests will be able to enjoy cold drinks, such as a selection of cocktails and mocktails and some snacks.

On my last day at the Novotel Bali Nusa Dua Hotel & Residences I took the chance to visit the 2.28 beach club, which is an exclusive facility only for inhouse guests. The hotel offers a shuttle, departing every 15 minutes to the beach club. There is also a free shuttle service going to other spots, such as Bali collection, a shopping complex in Nusa Dua. The beach club is approximately 2 minute and 28 seconds in distance by the car, that’s where it also got its name from. The club opens daily from 9Am to 10PM and is known for live music, food and beverage and beautiful sunsets, such as DJ performances.

As always, time is rushing ways too fast and my stay at Novotel could have lasted a little longer. However, I truly enjoyed the experience and even filmed a short vlog which you guys will hopefully enjoy.
