9.8/10 Loved by guests — from 397 guest reviews, read 2026-10-09.

Private white-sand beach and calm turquoise water at Nusa Dua, Bali

Short answer

The most expensive property on this site and the highest rated — 9.8 from nearly 400 guests, on its own white-sand beach. If the trip is a honeymoon or a milestone and the budget is genuinely open, the scores say the money lands. For anyone weighing value rather than ceiling, Conrad rates 9.4 a tier down and the Ritz-Carlton 9.2 with a free kids' club, both on the same calm Nusa Dua water.

What you actually get

9.8 out of 10 — the highest we have recorded

From 397 guest reviews, with a top-rated-by-travellers flag. A smaller review count than the big family resorts, but a materially higher score, and guests single out the staff.

A private beach with free cabanas

Private white sand with complimentary cabanas, beach umbrellas and beach yoga, plus a beach bar. Bali Collection shopping centre is about a five-minute drive if you want to leave.

Breakfast is included

A free buffet breakfast, which is not a given at this tier and takes a real cost off a multi-night stay. Three restaurants, two bars and a cafe cover international food, with private dining and vegan options.

Three pools, 24-hour gym, full spa

Deep-tissue massages, body wraps and facials at the spa, three outdoor pools, a 24-hour fitness centre, and a business and conference centre.

It suits

  • Couples, honeymoons and milestone trips where budget is not the constraint
  • Anyone who wants a genuinely private beach rather than a shared stretch
  • Travellers who value service above all — it is what reviewers mention first
  • Longer stays, where the included breakfast starts to matter

Who it's not for

  • Value-led trips; Conrad and the Ritz-Carlton deliver most of this for less
  • Families wanting a free kids' club — the Ritz-Carlton and Conrad both have one
  • Anyone who wants to walk out into a neighbourhood; Nusa Dua is a gated enclave
  • Nightlife or surf, neither of which is here

Common questions about The St. Regis Bali Resort

Does The St. Regis Bali Resort include breakfast?

Does The St. Regis Bali Resort have a private beach?

Yes, a private white-sand beach with complimentary cabanas, beach umbrellas, beach yoga and a beach bar. Bali Collection shopping centre is roughly a five-minute drive away.

Is The St. Regis Bali Resort worth the price?

It rates 9.8 out of 10 across 397 guest reviews, the highest of any property reviewed on this site, and it is also the most expensive. For a honeymoon or milestone trip the scores support the spend. If you are weighing value, Conrad Bali rates 9.4 and The Ritz-Carlton, Bali 9.2 on the same calm Nusa Dua water for less.

Is The St. Regis Bali Resort good for families?

It works for families but is not built around them in the way its neighbours are. Both Conrad Bali and The Ritz-Carlton, Bali include a free children's club; the St. Regis leans towards couples and special occasions.

Which Nusa Dua resort should I choose?

By guest rating: St. Regis 9.8, Conrad 9.4, Grand Hyatt 8.8, with The Ritz-Carlton at 9.2. Choose St. Regis for a splurge with a private beach, Conrad for the best balance of rating and price, the Ritz-Carlton for five restaurants and a free kids' club, and Grand Hyatt for five pools at the lowest price of the four.
