Update: Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali resort closed on 31 July 2017 to make way for a lavish new Trump resort.
A sprawling resort away from the tourist spots, Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali resort is set on an impressive 103ha of cliff-top grounds dotted with 13 temples and a Greg Norman-designed golf course. It’s a luxurious resort getaway with stunning views and plenty of creature comforts.
Where is Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali Resort?Â

Why should I stay at Pan Pacific Bali?
As soon as you walk into the open-air lobby of Pan Pacific Nirwana, you’ll be wowed by the view of rugged cliffs, crashing waves and the enchanting Tanah Lot temple. The clifftop setting with big sweeping ocean views will take your breath away.
At Pan Pacific Bali you’ll feel like you’re in a Balinese paradise, with fragrant frangipani trees, swaying palms and rice paddy fields, all within the resort.
The Nirwana Bali Resort has a range of room types, fabulous swimming pools and a lot of activities to suit a family holiday. And the Gren Norman golf course is nothing short of inspiring.
Nirwana Bali has five ocean-side holes, three cliff-to-cliff tee shots (hole 7, 13, and 14) and eight holes sculpted into the terraced rice fields. It’s one of the best golf courses in Bali and it’s certainly one of the most scenic.
One of the great things about staying at Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali resort is that the resort is well located and within close reach of many Bali attractions. You can go out and explore and you won’t have to travel too far to return to the luxuries of the resort.

However, if you’re looking for more, here’s a Bali travel guide with lots of great ideas.
Can I visit Tanah Lot?
One of the unique aspects of this Bali resort is the grounds are dotted with temples. You can join the Temple Walk through the grounds of Pan Pacific Nirwana to explore these 19 temples.
The temples range from small family shrines to impressive jungle-clad structures. The most impressive, Tanah Lot, was constructed in the 15th century. The temple sits on a rock by the ocean and is steeped in Balinese mythology and Hindu legends. Visiting Tanah Lot is one of the delights of staying at Pan Pacific Nirwana Bali resort and only a short stroll away.
What about wildlife experiences?
Releasing a baby turtle into the ocean is another memorable experience, while the rice planting experience allows you to learn about the different stages of rice growing and even trying your hand at harvesting.
The resort’s conservation centre runs a programme at the Kids Club to help the endangered sea turtles. Children learn how to care for the ocean and sea life. And guests can participate in the weekly hatchling release. A local priest blesses the baby turtles before guests release them one by one into the ocean.
What can be improved?
For the price, there’s not much to complain about.
