Key hubs
Nusa Dua airport and railway station
- Airport
- Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), about 13 km south of Denpasar; Nusa Dua is roughly a 20 to 40 minute drive depending on traffic
- Railway station
- None. Bali has no passenger railway, so all travel is by road; hotel transfers and taxis meet most flights
- Getting around
- Hotel cars, licensed taxis or a car with driver for day outings; paved walkways inside the resort area, but distances to sights are too long for midday walking
How to reach Nusa Dua by air
Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is the gateway, about 13 km south of Denpasar and roughly 20 to 40 minutes by road from Nusa Dua. Air India and IndiGo have listed services from Delhi, and IndiGo from Bengaluru and Mumbai at times; check current schedules, as routes change.
How to reach Nusa Dua by train
There is no passenger railway on Bali, so there is no railhead for Nusa Dua. Indian visitors travel by air and then by road from the airport.
How to reach Nusa Dua by road
Nusa Dua is reached by road from the airport and from Denpasar, Kuta, Seminyak and Ubud. Traffic on the main roads can be heavy, so allow extra time, especially at peak hours.
Getting around Nusa Dua
Inside the resort area, paved paths and hotel shuttles cover short distances. For outings use hotel cars, licensed taxis or a car with driver; ride-hailing pick-ups near resorts and the airport can be restricted, so agree prices and meeting points in advance.
For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Nusa Dua
- Ask hotels to arrange a car with an English-speaking driver for day outings; ride-hailing pick-ups near resorts and the airport can be restricted.
- Carry a scarf or sarong for temple visits, and keep prescription medicines in labelled original packaging in hand luggage.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
