One can visit the carved Pura Greger stone temple, known for the intricacies of its carvings. It sits atop a forested scaffold overlooking the ocean.

Right from organizing treasure hunts to musical evenings and provision of bamboo decks to look out for help across the ocean, the best things to do in Nusa Dua brings out in essence every bit of basking in a fantasy world.
