Tanjung Benoa

Like many other beachside destinations in Bali, Tanjung Benoa also used to be a fishing village and an old dock, and today most of the shore-side properties have become upper class hotels and resorts. The remaining mangrove marsh still lies at the western side entrance.

Tanjung Benoa is located 15 kilometres from the international airport but if you are already staying within the Nusa Dua cluster, it is just few steps away from the west gate.

Tanjung Benoa Attractions

The cape was developed as an alternative tourist destination in Bali, and has subsequently become very popular with water sport activities. Unlike almost every other destination in Bali.

Tanjung Benoa doesn’t have much of a cultural or historical legacy, apart from an old harbor owns one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali with grey-white sand (instead of the golden beaches found elsewhere) and abundant coconut groves that make the beach fairly different from its neighbours, a Buddhist temple located on the northern edge of the peninsual, and the rustic fishing village itself.

Tanjung Benoa Activities

This extended promontory of Nusa Dua is replete with water sports amenities and often 6-foot waves. An additional activity that is only available in this water park is the Flying Fish, a parasailing-like amusement using an extra-large inflatable kite.

Other things you can try are banana boat, snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing, cruise or underwater cruise, kayaking, Jet Ski and boating. Make sure you book this beforehand, since this venue is heaving with locals during the school holidays from June to August. Most of the activities start early in the morning to avoid unfavourable tide patterns. 

Tanjung Benoa Restaurants

Since becoming the hit venue of day activities, Tanjung Benoa has also been trying to establish itself as a major tourism destination in Bali, and culinary treats are listed as its first priority.

Tanjung Benoa Nightlife

At Tanjung Benoa leisure facilities stop at nightfall. Kuta is the nearest option for nightlife. It’s only a 20-minute drive to get to all the excitement of Bali at night.

Tanjung Benoa Shopping

Shopping in Tanjung Benoa is limited to convenience store and hotel boutique level but just down the road in Nusa Dua you will find handicrafts and arts shops, jewelry outlets, a Paul Smith shop and even children's accessories outlets. Again, the area is largely overrun by swanky hotels so don't expect comparable shopping to larger towns. This is resort land.
