The resort area sits on a narrow peninsula running north from Nusa Dua, between the open sea and the calm Benoa lagoon. It is known for water sports, mid-sized beach resorts and a quiet fishing village at the tip, and it suits families and travellers who want sheltered water.

The route from the airport to Tanjung Benoa

  1. Airport to the toll road

    The driver leaves the airport area and joins the Bali Mandara toll road, which crosses the bay towards Nusa Dua.

  2. Across the bay

    The toll road runs over the water on a long bridge, avoiding the bypass through Jimbaran. The toll is included in your price.

  3. North along the peninsula

    After leaving the toll road near Nusa Dua, the driver turns north onto Jalan Pratama, the single main road along the peninsula.

  4. To your hotel

    Hotels line both sides of this road, so the last part depends on how far up the peninsula you are staying.

What Tanjung Benoa is like

The beach on the lagoon side has gentle water protected by the reef, which is why so many water-sport operators are based here. Parasailing, jet skis, banana boats and glass-bottom boats run during the day, and the area is livelier in the morning than at night.

Towards the northern tip, the peninsula becomes a traditional village with a Chinese temple, a mosque and Hindu shrines close together, and small fishing boats moored in the lagoon.

One road in and out

Jalan Pratama is the only through road on the peninsula. It is usually calm, but tour buses heading to the water-sport centres can slow it in the late morning. Hotels near the tip take a few minutes longer than those close to Nusa Dua.

Planning your return pickup

Allow about 40 minutes for the drive back, plus a buffer for traffic around the toll road junctions. For international flights, a pickup roughly four hours before departure works well.
