[Latest November 2024 Edition] Complete Guide to Manarai Beach House & “Enjoy Luxury Chill in Nusa Dua”.

First thing in the morning, I wake up to the steam from the café latte I ordered while stepping on the still cold white sand.
I find myself diving into the pool barefoot, reading a book in the sea breeze.
In the evening, I raise my glass to the edge of the infinity pool, and have the moment of the horizon dyed in madder red all to myself.
…… Manarai Beach House is the place to spend such a day.
However, my first visit to Manarai Beach House was a bittersweet experience, as I rushed in without a reservation and was unable to get a seat of my choice.
This time, I wanted to get revenge! I will share with you how to choose the right seat and how to make a reservation.
