Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort
A large, tropical retreat in Bali
RESPONSIBLE HOSPITALITY VERIFIED
French elegance and Balinese tradition blend seamlessly together throughout Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort on the island’s southern peninsula, but no place more than in the lobby. Sweeping ocean views fan out before you and there is not a welcome desk to be found.
Instead, you are greeted by a circular panel of exquisite woodcarvings, which wrap around the entire lobby depicting Balinese culture and rituals in a series of 18 scenes. Balmy ocean breezes wrap around the curved staircase spiraling down to the garden level, and a beautifully sculptured wooden tree of life emerges from the center up to the top of the domed ceiling.
Comfortable cuddle-up couches and a cozy bar tempt you to take a moment and breathe in the essence of beautiful Bali.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Sofitel Bali has just the type of amenities you’d expect from a big luxury resort — an exotic Sofitel SPA with treatments by Sensatia, a fitness center with separate male and female saunas, along with their very own tennis court and beach volleyball court.
- In keeping with the legendary spiral theme of Sofitel hotels, a circular staircase sweeps down from the lobby to the ground level, where you enter the resort’s large pan-Asian restaurant, Kwee Zeen.
- For families, the big appeal of the resort is the groovy Kid’s Club. It holds cooking classes and engages the children in the local culture with Balinese dance and dress-up games.
- Higher-level rooms have access to Club Millésime, a luxe lounge where you get a slew of perks like complimentary wine tastings, afternoon tea and breakfast.
- To wit, the pool is really more of a lagoon and waterway system that’s almost resort-wide.
Things to Know
- You can partake in authentic local experiences like traditional Balinese activities like lontar (Palm-leaf) writing and cooking classes.
- You won’t find a clunky counter in the lobby here. Instead, you’ll find a sleekly designed indoor lobby and a picturesque view of the ocean from the resort’s Le Bar in the lobby area.
- If you just can’t bear to tear yourself away from the scenic views in your sumptuous suite, take advantage of 24-hour room service so you can enjoy those picture-perfect vistas even longer.
The Rooms
- Guest rooms are dark and moody with natural textures and elements — intricate wood partitions separate bathrooms, which are done up in luxe marble with large soaking tubs.
- All rooms have a private balcony with Bali Sea views, but some boast direct access to the resort's lazy river, which means you can swim to the resort’s lagoon pool (and cocktail bar) from your room.
- All rooms, suites and villas have a Sofitel Mybed with a plush featherbed and pillow menu, an espresso coffee machine and daily local newspaper. Higher-end accommodation categories offer butler service and private check-in privileges.
The Restaurants
- Kwee Zeen has a series of street food market stalls and visible cooking stations, including various cuisines from noodle stations to Balinese, Japanese and Indian stations.
- Down at Toya Beach Bar & Grill, dig your toes in the sand or choose the wooden deck and indulge in the beach-barbecue experience.
- Head chef Mama Patrizia offers home-cooked Italian recipes along with an iconic lavish Sunday brunch at the fine dining restaurant Cucina.
- There are two bars within the Bali hotel: L’Oh Bar, the beachfront pool bar, and Le Bar, the lobby lounge. You'll enjoy scenic ocean views at both.
