Club Med Bali Location

Club Med Bali Review

Where exactly is Club Med Bali located?

Ok – no prizes for guessing it is on the very beautiful island of Bali, the island of the Gods.

Club Med Bali is located on its own beach with uninterrupted beach access (unlike Club Med Phuket).

Manicured lawns stretch from the bar/main pool area, all the way to the sand on the beach.

It is set in approx 500 hectares of magnificent gardens and located in Nusa Dua, a very upmarket and very safe part of Bali.

Many other international hotels are located in the same area. It is about as far removed from the hustle and bustle of Kuta as you could possibly get. However, if you want to be a thrill seeker, it is only a 15-minute taxi trip to “The Bar” area of Kuta, scene of the Bali bombings.

The weather in Bali is at its best from May through to October. The fact that this time coincides with the Australian winter is a great bonus!

What’s close by?

A 20 min walk from Club Med Bali will put you in a major shopping /restaurant precinct (The Bali Collection) and there are numerous market stalls in a lane way that adjoins the Club Med Bali property. More markets are only a 10 min walk away. Basically, it is close to everything you need (unlike Club Med Cherating).

A leisurely afternoon walk along the beach-front (approx 4 kms), allows you to see all of the hotels that are located in this beautiful part of Bali.

With the exception of the Soffitel hotel next door, which is quite large, there are very few hotels, if any, that match the size and landscaping ambience of Club Med Bali.

The time and effort put into maintaining the grounds has to be seen to be believed. Barely a palm frond drops to the ground before it is removed from the grass.

A daily walk is also an excellent way to reduce the number of excess kilos that you will most definitely put on from eating at any Club Med – more on that later.

How do you get to Club Med Bali?

 If you’re flying from Australia, there are direct flights from all capital cities to Denpassar airport in Bali. Obviously if your flying from Perth the flying time is quicker (3hrs) than say flying from Melbourne or Sydney (both approx 5.5 hours).

 Whilst there are always cheap flights available, it is worth investigating what time they will actually get you to Denpassar airport.

 

In our experience, many of these cheaper flights, particularly from the eastern states of Australia, do not arrive until around midnight. By the time you get into your bed at Club Med Bali, it is well and truly into the early hours of the morning.

For this reason, we recommend you check the arrival time of your intended flight. the full service (read more expensive) flights, tend to arrive earlier in the afternoon.

These flights therefore, enable you to check in, have a swim, enjoy a few pre dinner drinks and sit down to dinner, all whilst the cheaper flights are still in the air.
