Benoa

Benoa is an Indonesian paradise, which is located in the southern part of Bali.

The beaches are so beautiful, where you can enjoy soft, white sand and turquoise waters. You'll truly feel the joy of life, tranquility and a boost of energy.

For those who’ve taken enough sunbathe, it’s time to do scuba diving, freediving or snorkeling. The underwater world will amaze you, it will transport you to a completely different reality. By the way, you can enjoy folklore shows in local restaurants or bars and immerse yourself in Indonesian culture, or you can visit the Nusa Dua Theater for an authentic performance. The main landmark in Benoa is the ancient Caow Eng Bio temple, built in the Chinese style. This complex includes two Buddhist temples and one Islamic mosque.

There are only 5 such ancient temples in Bali, but this is one of them. For those who love trying new traditional dishes, Benoa is a fantastic place for your culinary experiments. Benoa's cuisine is a blend of Balinese and South Asian dishes. Be sure to try satay, which are pieces of chicken or meat on wooden skewers, similar to mini kebabs. Meat lovers should try babi guling, it is roasted young pig. If you like porridge, order bubur mengguh for breakfast, it’s a typical Balinese porridge served with chicken salsa with fried peanuts or coconut sauce.

The best way to reach Benoa is by cruise ship. Choose a cruise departing from Benoa or with a stop in this town to visit Bali! What are you waiting for? Visit our website and choose the cruise that best suits your needs and desires!
