1. WESTIN RESORT NUSA DUA 


The Westin Resort Nusa Dua is nestled on a white sandy beach in the Nusa Dua district of Bali’s southern shores. Well known for its sandy beaches, international resorts and 18-hole golf course, Bali’s most developed resort area still oozes cultural charm. Visit the intricately carved Pura Geger stone temple on a forested bluff overlooking the Indian Ocean, and Museum Pasifika which shows paintings from, or inspired by, the Asia-Pacific region. The resort offers equal delights, with an exquisite Japanese restaurant, Hamabe, as one of its dining options. Hamabe combines modern and authentic Japanese cuisine and features a robata grill, a traditional cooking method used by the fishermen of northern Japan. Other dining options include a sushi and sashimi counter, as well as teppanyaki tables to enjoy the theatrics of food being cooked before your eyes.
