Nusa Dua, Komodo Nationalpark & Baden auf Nusa Penida

About the destination: Nusa Dua, located on the southern tip of Bali, is one of the island’s most polished and tranquil resort areas. Designed as a self-contained beach enclave, it offers manicured gardens, wide boulevards, and a calm, upscale atmosphere that contrasts with Bali’s busier hotspots. Here you’ll find many of the island’s top luxury hotels, along with a long stretch of golden sand that is ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxed seaside strolls. The beaches in Nusa Dua are sheltered by an offshore reef, which means gentle waves and clear, shallow waters—perfect for families and less confident swimmers. Water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking are widely available, while early risers are rewarded with spectacular sunrises over the Indian Ocean. A paved beachfront promenade connects many of the resorts, making it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle. Beyond the beach, Nusa Dua offers a mix of culture and leisure. The Bali Collection shopping and dining complex features international brands, local boutiques, and a variety of restaurants, while the nearby Pasifika Museum displays an intriguing collection of art inspired by the Pacific region. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at the scenic Bali National Golf Club, set among lakes and tropical landscaping. Although Nusa Dua feels secluded, it is a convenient base for discovering the rest of Bali. Iconic sights such as the clifftop Uluwatu Temple, the surf breaks of the Bukit Peninsula, and the lively nightlife of Seminyak are all within driving distance. Nusa Dua is ideal for travelers seeking a serene, well-organized beach escape with easy access to both modern comforts and Balinese culture.

About the destination: Labuan Bajo is a fishing town located at the western end of Flores in the Nusa Tenggara region of east Indonesia. Once a small fishing village, Labuan Bajo (also spelled Labuhanbajo and Labuanbajo) in Flores is now a busy bustling center of tourism. It is the launching point for trips to Komodo Island and Rinca Island, home to the famous Komodo dragons. Nearby Kanawa and Seraya Islands are a great opportunity to do some diving and snorkeling and every evening at Kalong Island thousands of flying fox bats put on an amazing display. Within a few hours of Labuan Bajo can be found several waterfalls, trekking and many diverse beaches. The town is quite small and can easily be traversed on foot (in 10–15 minutes). There are various interesting churches and a mosque. Ojeks (3,000-5,000 Rp) and bemos pass every 5 minutes if you get tired of walking. You can rent a motorcycle for 75,000 Rp. per day. There are now 4 working ATM's in the town and the road is paved. Komodo Airport is located just 2 km from the center of Labuan Bajo and has 4-6 daily flights arriving from Bali. The port has daily ferry departures to Bima and weekly or bi-weekly departures to Denpasar and Sulawesi.

About the destination: The southern part of Bali, although generally chaotic and too touristy, has the best beaches on the island and several interesting sightseeing tours, so if you travel to this destination, I recommend you spend at least three full days there. If Bali is too crowded, the area of ​​Kuta and surroundings takes the palm: it was there where the first travelers came in search of surf and they also found a paradise to export. But in spite of the noise and that the Balinese culture is not as present as in other areas, Kuta and surroundings can also be enjoyed. Legian street is nice, ideal to buy souvenirs or a dress haggling with the locals; The beach is very suitable for surfing and the best to see it, as it is full of surfers at all hours !; And the sunset is an event that you can not miss. The locals flock to the beach in packs, many of whom want to take photos with you, play football or simply bathe; And spontaneous bars are set up with fresh beers and boxes as local bar. There are beautiful sunsets that are harmless. Of course, the life of local people is shorter than in other parts of the island, or at least not so integrated, so forget to find a nice market or a temple in every corner.
