Nusa Dua is the part of Bali that was planned before it was built: a gated resort enclave on the south-east corner of the Bukit, laid out under a 1972 master plan, developed from 1974 as the World Bank's first tourism project in Indonesia, and run to this day by the state company ITDC.
Suitsbuyers with a family or retirement brief: calm water behind the reef, a hospital inside the resort area, the airport reached by toll road, and order rather than scene.
May not suitbuyers after cafe culture, surf, walkable nightlife, or a villa of their own inside the resort gates: the enclave is state-managed land and the private market lives outside it.
