Tanjung Benoa-known place on Bali for water sports and entertainment. But here there are many other entertainment, here, for example, what:
1) seafood market
If you want, you can buy a fish there, but at all you can come there in the morning to take a picture of unusual fishing and other seafood or just enjoy the atmosphere and look like traditional trade.
Location: opposite the store "The Bu'bu Artshop" on the Jalan Pratama, opposite the Kind Villa Bintang Resort
2) Culinary courses
Restaurants "The Tree" and "Bumbu Bali" offer culinary courses. Moreover, in the "Bambo" courses fully and longer, because they include market visiting early in the morning. Well, in the "The Tree" you provide soft drinks, coffee, tea during lessons, as well as Bintang beer and Hat'ten wine at the end of the day, plus a CD with photos and a culinary apron as a memorable gift. What will you teach to cook? Soup, two types of dessert and five main dishes, naturally, Balinese and Indonesian cuisines. In Bumbu Bali during a five-hour lesson you will be introduced with exotic ingredients and 22 Balinese recipes. The Tree restaurant is relying a free shuttle service from Nusa Dua, Cute, as well as Sanur, and Bumbu Bali employees will take you from anywhere in Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, and Jimbaran. Opening hours of restaurants: "Bumbu Bali" - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 06:00 - 15:00; "The Tree" - Thursday, 10:30 - 13:00
3) Boat with a glass bottom
I think a boat ride with a glass bottom is indispensable for those who plan to visit Tanjung Benoa. Especially the excursion is popular among families with children. It is worth taking a little bread with you to scatter pieces on the water surface to admire how hundreds of multi-colored fish will be fed. Usually, a similar trip is combined with a visit to the Turtle Island (Pulau Seransgan), which is 20 minutes from Benoa, on the shores of which the turtle eggs are laying.
In addition to the love of turtles, on the island you will see other wild animals, such as marine eagles, rhino birds, bats and any snakes. Order a similar excursion in offices along the Jalan Pratama.
4) Water Sports
Along the street Jalan Pratama you will find a bunch of water sports centers and aquatic entertainment of any orientation - water skiing, banana, parachute, scuba diving and diving. It is not accepted to bargain for the cost of services here, although you can try, if you have a whole company or if you decide to try several sports at once in the same office.
In addition, I would advise you to try diving or at least snorkeling. Of course, the underwater world is not the richest, however, there is to admire. In the offices of inventory rental will issue everything necessary - masks, flippers, vests, tubes, water-beams, underwater helmets, gloves, boots, etc. Submarine cameras can also be rented. One of the most beloved entertainment in Tanjung Benoa-So-called "Flying Fish". These are the three "banana" with handles (on which they cut over the waves) bonded together by the horizontal inflatable "crossbar". Three people take part in the entertainment, including the instructor.
This unit is attached with a cable to the category and at full speed rushing around the sea, and then takes off a little bit over the water and flies on the wind as volatile fish. How highly you take over the water depends on the wind speed and boats. Scary, but interesting! Prices for various types of water sports range from RP 150000 to RP 200000. You can try classes and entertainment from 08:00 almost before sunset and even later.
5) SPA Centers
In Tanjung Benoa, several five-star hotels and resorts, most of which offer spa centers. For example, "Thalasso Bali" at the Grand Mirage Resort Hotel, it is more than just a resort, as thalassotherapy is offered there, that is, treatment using algae, sea water, etc. All this is supposed to help restore strength and youth. There is a good spa in the four-star hotel Bali Tropical Resort & Spa, well, and Mahalaya Spa at Bali Khama is generally necessary for visiting, as it seems to me. Of course, in hotels prices for spa treatments are high enough, so you can easily find a massage salon along the main street of Benoa, outside the hotel complexes.
For example, Baliwis SPA is the largest autonomous Balinese spa, with private rooms (VIP and standard), beauty salons, jacuzzi, sauna and pool. Well, yes, it is as more expensive than street salonists, but what kind of quality, what is the situation! "Jari Menari" is famous for its massage techniques, I suppose, too, can also look.
6) Bars
Dozens of restaurants and bars for every taste and wallet, stripped by the Long Street Jalan Pratama, will be able to satisfy any tourist resting on this young, but developing resort. I will not write about restaurants, I will not have a clear case, there are a lot of them here, and they are very different. But I would like to celebrate the two best bar in the resort, where in the evening (and even during the day, too) all young people and not only young people flow:
"Sakala" . This is a modern bar and a restaurant located in two two-storey a la Balinese towers with a swimming pool with sun beds between them. What is good bar? There is a large wine cellar with 400 bottles, in fact, a "glass" bar and a hall where the DJ booth is located and which goes to the cozy Beach Lounge. In general, this is a pleasant modern place on the beach Tanjung Benoa, where you can drink, and try seafood, all day. The pool is open from 9 am to 5:30 pm; Beach Lounge - from 10 am to 6 pm; You can dine from 12 days to 14:30, and dinner - from 18:30 to 22:00 (but during parties here too, you can bite something). Address: Jalan Pratama, 88.
"The Tree" . This pub and restaurant with a good wines card and good menu (pizza is a permanent favorite). Plus, daily entertainment, free Wi-Fi and a shuttle service from Nusa Dua and different corners of Tanjung Benoa. The bar is open from 10 am to 12 o'clock in the morning. There is a bar-restaurant on the famous Jalan Pratama, opposite the Hotel Peninsula.
