Nusa Dua

It is located 22 kilometers from Denpasar, the provincial capital of Bali, and is administered as part of Benoa subdistrict (kelurahan) in South Kuta, Badung Regency.

The sea there is calm, which allows farmers to grow seaweed in the area, as well as being an attractive place for tourists to swim.

[5][6] Immediately north of the Nusa Dua enclave is the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa, which forms its own subdistrict of the same name.

[7] On December 26, 2012, the Bali Governor signed a permit to utilize, develop and manage the Benoa Bay area.

The final section of the project took place in the south of Nusa Dua,[9] with a field survey for suitability of location carried out in November–December 2020.

[10] 1,000 local people, who had lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lag in tourism, were hired to build and instal 8,000 steel pipes, each 2 metres (6.5 feet) long, as substructures for coral gardens; that task was completed in October 2021.

[9] This project also aims at reducing unemployement by planning for supervision and maintenance work of the sites,[11] an undertaking that corresponds to the largest and more costly part of reef regeneration.

And as most of the restoration projects in Indonesia are being done without preliminary studies, artificial reefs are not planted in places where they are needed most.”[9] In 1983, the Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC), the ITDC's predecessor, opened Nusa Dua's first hotel, the Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa.
