Location
The Melia Bali resort is situated along the shores of Nusa Dua Beach, which is in the southern part of Bali Island. It’s more isolated from the rest of the popular tourist areas but in close enough proximity to travel to and from for day trips and excursions. The area is best known for its luxury resorts, isolated beaches, and watersport activities. If you looking for this sort of experience in Bali then this is definitely the area to book in.

Our Experience

By the time we arrived for check-in at Melia Bali, it was 1.30am Bali time. As we drove up the driveway we were welcomed by the concierge with a sembah greeting and upon check-in our presence was graced with a traditional Jamu Juice made of turmeric and ginger. I found this special welcome soothing after long flights and airport hustles.
Our booked package included a standard Melia garden view room but we got upgraded to a premium room as a honeymoon gift from the hotel. The room was beautifully decorated with hotel towels in the shapes of swans, together with a handwritten letter and a divine piece of chocolate cake that was piped “Happy Honeymoon”. The attention to detail from the time of arrival was phenomenal and we were already blown away with the welcome.
The next day hubby couldn’t do the long corridor walks any longer to the smoking section and requested a smoking room which they happily accommodated us with. Two days later hubby surprised me with a room upgrade to the lagoon room (a secluded lagoon access from the room pool deck) making our Bali trip a dream honeymoon come true. I promise we were not nightmare guests with all this shifting around😉
We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast as there was a variety of cuisines to choose from, exotic fruits and a selection of breads and cakes. After breakfast, the morning walks in the lush tropical Melia garden was refreshing.
The hustle and bustle of being out at the nearby towns or tiring day trips on tours can be exhausting and taking a day or two to just chill out at the hotel is revitalizing. Enjoying the main pool area lounging with mocktails/cocktails or enjoying the beach walk along with its activities will definitely keep your stay at Melia on your top list.
Travelling to and from the hotel when out and about is easily accessible and most drivers know the area well, however, be warned if using private taxis as they quote according to the hotel name, if you know what I mean.
Your Bali trip can definitely go on if you choose to stay elsewhere but staying at Melia Bali is definitely going to make you dream about Bali for years to come.
