PRAWLED along a prime stretch of shimmering white sand in the exclusive Nusa Dua development, the Grand Hyatt Bali best typifies the archetypal Asian megaresort. Indeed the Grand Hyatt Bali is one of the sybaritic playgrounds that have helped put - and keep - Bali on the global travel map. Its hugely generous acres encompass manicured lawns, extensive water features, quiet walkways, a new spa, and even the colourful Pasar Senggol Balinese "village" with its night market, craftsmen, cultural shows and culinary distractions. The resort is in tune with its traditional roots while ensuring pampering modernity and top class facilities are always, unobtrusively, close at hand.

Easily among the best Bali family resorts, the refurbished Grand Hyatt Bali sports a jaunty new look with 648 rooms including suites, and villas, most with balconies or private gardens. As the hotel is well spread out, the scale of this family friendly resort is not always apparent. Yet private space is easy to come by.

The Grand Club is an exclusive oasis with that extra something - a separate lagoon pool, larger rooms, an endless flow of coffee and tea, sundowner cocktails, and a dedicated concierge to manage itineraries.

Camp Nusa caters for children, freeing parents for those rare romantic moments. For the actively inclined, there are a staggering five swimming pools to choose from, splash slides for kids, more water sports than you could shake a stick at, a fitness and health center, three floodlit tennis courts, a putting green and bicycle rental. Opened in 2007, Kriya Spa offers 24 Spa Villas with authentic Balinese treatments. The spa menu serves up "sensory indulgence" and rejuvenation.

The Grand Hyatt is a top Bali conference hotel, popular for its style, service, and extensive meeting facilities. There are 14 meeting rooms that can handle from six to 780 persons and the Grand Ballroom can be divided into three chambers. Whatever your needs, for a luxury Bali holiday, look no further.
