Situated on the sea in central Nusa Dua, the Westin Resort Nusa Dua is an easy-going hotel with a breezy, tropical vibe. The 28-acre resort is a standout among area properties for its lush gardens and grounds, which include palms and other indigenous trees, hibiscus flowers, lagoons, manicured lawns, and thatched-roof gazebos. Guests check into the hotel in a high-ceilinged lobby with pillars and polished marble floors in a white, black, and gray pattern. There are clusters of purple chairs atop purple-patterned rugs facing floor-to-ceiling windows. Yes, it does feel a bit like a Westin -- but that brand standard is why many guests flock here -- and the interiors feature lots of natural wood and a contemporary Balinese look that give the resort a dash of local flavor. Those staying here are a mix of families and couples seeking an upscale beachfront experience, though business travelers are also drawn to the resort's proximity to the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center. Many guests can be found relaxing on the private beach, where loungers and covered day beds feature natural fabrics in shades of white and beige. #createwithtrip #staycation
