Why we love it
Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua is a rare blend of refined luxury and genuine heart. Beyond its beautiful design and beachfront setting, what stands out to us most is its strong commitment to people — the local staff, the surrounding community, and the Balinese culture it honours every day. The resort’s Green Globe certification reflects not just environmental care but also ethical practices: fair employment, local sourcing, respectful cultural training, and long-term community engagement that makes a meaningful difference on the island.
It’s also a place that truly works for families. Multiple pools, a fantastic kids club, lush safe grounds to explore and one of the best buffet breakfasts in Bali make it an effortless and enjoyable stay for all ages. The experience feels warm, thoughtful and elevated — where every detail is considered and every interaction feels genuine.
For travellers who want comfort paired with conscience, Sofitel offers a stay that is both luxurious and deeply respectful of Bali, its people and its future. It's exactly the kind of place we are proud to include in our curated guide.
