Set on Nusa Dua’s pristine sands, the Grand Mirage Resort and Thalasso Bali is for discerning travellers who like waking up to sunrises and quiet mornings. This expansive waterfront tropical retreat cocoons guests in a tranquil environment, with artificial waterfalls, marble floorings, and the occasional bird call adding colour and character. When holidaymakers check into the Grand Mirage Bali for their Indonesia holiday, they unlock access to three pools, seven restaurants and two bars cum lounge, and a host of activities to enjoy with their friends and family.
Stepping out, guests will find mom & pop stores and the occasional domestic retail chain just across the street. With many such stores in the area, there are bound to be some warungs (traditional eateries) and hole-in-the-wall joints that are just perfect for an authentic taste of Bali, Indonesia.
To reach Grand Mirage Resort, Bali for a Bali holiday, travellers will need to land at the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Flights to I Gusti Ngurah Rai are regular from Australia and New Zealand, taking between four to six hours when flying from Australia and up to 12 hours when flying from New Zealand.
Once at the Denpasar International Airport, guests can avail the hire-car that comes pre-packaged with their Bali holiday deal. Hiring a private cab is also an option. Once the wheels start rolling, it’s a 20-minute ride to the resort down the picturesque Bali Mandala overwater road.
Accommodations at the Grand Mirage Resort Nusa Dua are located in the Main building and in the Family Paradise building. Similar in size, decor and amenities, the only differentiating factor is the views. From the main building, one can usually enjoy clear views of the vegetation, the pools and the beach; the Family Paradise rooms are all about partial views. What the family paradise building lacks in terms of direct-line-of-sight views, it makes up for it with close proximity to the beach — just two minutes!
While the interiors and in-room amenities may vary based on the room type, what does not vary is the friendly service, attention to detail and the opportunity to unwind in a slice of paradise. Rooms feature king beds, queen beds or both in some cases; bunk beds for kids, entertainment options like Tv, WiFi and tea/coffee making amenities. Plus, the ensuites come with a modern shower, towels, toiletries, and in some cases a bathtub.
