Named after the Nusa Dua Islands, the Nusa Dua enclave is avidly visited by tourists from the world over. Nusa Dua is renowned for its pristine beaches, an exquisite golf course as well as for hosting the main convention centre in Bali. Given the allure and attraction of Nusa Dua, The Laguna Resort & Spa Bali and a number of other hotels provide luxury accommodation for tourists in search of a comfortable Nusa Dua resort. When exploring Nusa Dua, the temples are of particular interest.
The enclave is considered home by a number of temples of the Hindu faith. Most of these temples are generally quiet and one may not even be aware of their existence unless they happen to chance upon it. Such temples provide tourists with an excellent opportunity to observe the manner in which the locals venerate their faith and also pay homage to the local deities. Such temples often retain an aura that juxtaposes mystery and serenity, making them wonderful places to visit and explore. Tourists who take a stroll around Jalan Nusa Dua Selatan will find such temples, untouched by modernity and retaining a sense of historical charm.
The only temple open daily and accessible by the public is Pura Geger. Constructed overlooking the azure ocean, Pura Geger provides an excellent view of the Nusa Dua coastline and is an excellent place to take some beautiful photographs. Unfortunately, the temple can be visited only when a devotee is venerating their faith, but the panoramic view makes the wait worth it.
Located a few kilometres away from Nusa Dua is the famous Uluwatu Temple which is a sight to behold. Built atop steep cliffs that fall seventy metres to meet the ocean, the Uluwatu Temple was built in the 11th century and is amongst some of the most beautiful temples on the island of Bali.
