2025
The Laguna has been here for over three decades, and a 2022 renovation refreshed the lobby, rooms and public spaces while keeping the property's Balinese sensibility intact.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The resort sits along a calm, sheltered beachfront inside Nusa Dua's gated coastal enclave.
The rooms
Ground-floor suites feature embroidered headboards and private furnished terraces with steps leading straight into swimmable water.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Seven saltwater lagoons thread through the palm gardens, flanked by sandy entries, stone footbridges, and thatched bale gazebos.
The spa and gym
Lagoon Spa offers Javanese lulur scrubs beneath a capiz chandelier. Next door, the fitness center faces a running waterfall.
de Balé Lounge & Bar
Spice-infused cocktails are mixed under timber rafters, and Thursday evenings bring a traditional Balinese fire dancing performance.
At the table
Arwana serves open-flame grilled seafood beside the ocean, and Sapphire Lagoon Bar pours drinks straight to your lounger.
How it began
Built in 1991, the resort has operated under its original ownership for over three decades before a complete 2023 renovation.
