Bali Collection at Nusa Dua, Bali

We visited one of the Souvenirs Center at Denpasar to buy some souvenirs for friends. And I learn the words 'Oleh-oleh' in Indonesian mean 'Souvenir'. :)
Then follow by this Bali Collection Shopping area (S8 48.092 E115 13.748) at Nusa Dua, Bali. The Nusa Dua area was Totally different from others place within Bali, nice, clean road and different class. Yes, prepare for the high price! :)

By entering Nusa Dua, our car had check by the securities and scan with the metal detector! Tight security!

Security check at Nusa Dua, Bali

Most of the Luxury Hotels and Resorts are located in Nusa Dua, Bali. No wonder the area was Clean and with the very strict securities and ensure all the visitors safety.

"Bali Collection Nusa Dua is the shopping complex set up for the many resorts that are located in the area. With the Grand Hyatt Bali to the south, the Melia Bali Sol to the north and the twin ‘islands’ of Nusa Dua only 400 meters to the east, the complex is easy to find. Nusa Dua itself feels like Beverly Hills, with manicured lawns, sprawling properties and a distinct lack of anything local. The Bali Collection has the feel of an outdoor mall in California, complete with small restaurants with outdoor dining, palm trees and a tranquil vibe." Source from Here.

The Bali Collection Nusa Dua was a bit special to us, because it's Not a Complex. It was actually many shops and restaurants gather in a same protected area. As you can see from the photos below...

But the weather was killing! I believe it would be different if we visit it during night time...
We popped into a Handicraft Center called The Art Market Of Bali Collection.

Well, most of the handicraft in the Art Market were familiar, which we saw most of them at other souvenirs shop. But...the prices surprised us! It cost about 3-4 times higher with the same item we saw from other market! This called 'High Class Handicraft'?! :) Doesn't matter, I'm not gonna buy it.

Beside all the Branded apparel shop and restaurant, there were nothing much attraction...

The Recycle Area

PLEASE take note of the praying stuff on the floor and every door of the shops, Don't step on it!

Hanged around the area for about an hour, we continue to our next destination - Garuda Wisnu Kencana of Bali.
