Extra Security Measure (Hotel and the Whole Resort Area)

Nusa Dua enclave
Nusa Dua, meaning two islands in Bahasa Indonesia, is part of the Peninsula Hill in southern Bali, a stunning and tranquil spot, in which many world class resorts nestle.

The Bali Tourism and Development Corporation (BTDC) execute the management of the Nusa Dua enclave and are responsible for the security operation of the peripheral of Nusa Dua. 76 security officers, 17 tourist police officers, and 110 police officers ensures a 24 hours, 7 days a week security of the enclave with specific attention to the 4 entry points to Nusa Dua. The beach, marine and tourist police force stands at 35 and additionally, the village of Nusa Dua situated outside the enclave, with their traditional security system manned by 55 personnel is actively involved in ensuring the security of the area through an informal network, which quickly detects, verifies and communicates movement of people not known to the local community. All cars are checked with metal detectors including the interior and booth, and patrol system has been installed since June, 2007 allowing monitoring the time each of the areas has been inspected.

Hotel Security
Each hotel inside the Nusa Dua have their own security personnel and facilities in place while between the properties security cooperation is also in place to further strengthen the security of Nusa Dua (e.g. Beach security). In total the above mentioned properties employs just over 500 trained security guards and 13 police officers on a 24 hours and 7 days a week operation who are supported by over 110 CCTV cameras. These figures exclude the personnel and facilities managed by the above mentioned BTDC.

Beach Security
Each property has a min. of two security guards on the beach front 24 hours and 7 days a week supported by CCTV cameras on the beach front.

Conclusion
Nusa Dua is and has always been focused on safety and security for its guests and associates and has in-place a very thought through security operation that is constantly being reviewed, tested and enhanced by external security consultants as well as the hotels and BTDC itself. The unique location and environment is a major positive security factor that plays in favour of Nusa Dua, as access is naturally restrictive and is very easily controlled with additional help from the Nusa Dua and Benoa local community. In other words, it is with no surprise that today Nusa Dua enjoys the reputation for being the most secure enclave in Bali situated in a clean and manicured environment of tranquillity.
