Itinerary

Benoa is nestled on Bali’s southern shores, where the air is fragrant with blooming frangipani and incense lingering in the temples. Journey along the dramatic southern coast to the majestic Uluwatu Temple, perched high upon sheer limestone cliffs where crashing cerulean waves meet the endless horizon. Or head north to Tanah Lot Temple, an iconic shrine that appears to rise from the sea at high tide.
