While everyone rushes to book a luxury stay in Nusa Dua, you should check out Benoa! It is a tropical beach paradise with lower accommodation prices, amazing water activities and just as many all-inclusive and family-friendly hotels as Nusa Dua.
Tanjung Benoa, the main beach in Benoa, is the place to be if you want to swim, ride a jet ski, do an ocean walk, and simply enjoy less crowded beaches.
If you want to stay in a beautiful Benoa Bay but can’t yet decide on a hotel, here are the 10 best hotels in Benoa that offer amazing views and facilities.
Our Top 10 Hotels In Benoa
1. Novotel Bali, Tanjung Benoa
Novotel is absolutely loved by tourists staying in the area!
The highlight of this family-friendly hotel is the resort’s three pools, including one long infinity pool right at the waterfront and a white-sand beach of your dreams.
Novotel is a great option for active families with kids, as you won’t have a dull moment: enjoy water sports, multiple restaurants on site, a kids’ club, age-appropriate activities, a spa, a gym, and day trips around Bali.

2. Sol By Melia Benoa, Bali
Sol is the top choice for many tourists coming to Nusa Dua and Benoa as it sits right on the invisible border between the two areas, by Samuh Beach, and offers amazing all-inclusive packages.
5-star amenities from parking to dining, an incredibly green property with lots of shade, and a gorgeous spa are just to mention a few highlights of your stay here.
The resort doesn’t have the largest pools or the most luxurious rooms, but welcoming staff, activities for kids and adults (including surfing and snorkelling), a pool bar, karaoke, and other perks make it all worth it.

Grand Mirage is your perfect all-inclusive luxury resort with a great wellness program for adults and dozens of activities for children.

6. Amnaya Resort Nusa Dua, Bali
Amnaya Resort is the best place for couples seeking some peace and tranquillity away from buzzing family hotels, either to celebrate an anniversary or simply enjoy a vacation.
The highlight is definitely Bhava Spa at Amnaya. It is a health and wellness sanctuary where massages and body treatments are a form of art, no less. The interiors, flower bath, and massage quality itself – all amazing!
Guests can dine in at a high-end Indonesian restaurant on the property, enjoy afternoon tea, and have in-room dining.

7. Holiday Inn Resort Bali Nusa Dua by IHG
At Holiday Inn you feel like royalty: marble floors, suites with 180-degree ocean views, sparkling infinity pools, and, of course, direct access to the golden beach.
This hotel suits families best, as not only do they have dedicated kids’ pools and activities, but also family rooms with special interior designs for little ones.
They do provide a full boarding package, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but keep in mind that room service is subject to additional fees (like in many hotels).

8. Benoa Bay Villas by Premier Hospitality Asia
The main Benoa area is actually a narrow strip of sand and residential areas stretching from the Nusa Dua Beach into the actual bay. Most hotels are concentrated along the Tanjung Benoa beach facing the Indian Ocean, but Benoa Bay Villas actually sit on the other side.
It guarantees a quieter stay and the best sunset and sea views in Benoa, not from your balcony, but right from your doorstep!
These upscale villas and suites sit right on the lagoon waterfront and you can relax in gazebos, an infinity pool, or sun loungers.

9. The Royal Santrian Luxury Beach Resort
This ultra-luxury resort in Benoa will make even the picky travellers happy. Perfect for couples, as it is a villa complex with each villa providing maximum privacy from the moment you check in at the front desk.
Villas are simply gorgeous. Built as traditional Javanese jogglo houses with high-pitched roofs, lots of air and natural light, they are kept super clean, well-equipped and offer an unparalleled level of service.
Food is also great and unlike many hotels in Benoa and Nusa Dua, it has very delicious plates from both Indonesian and Western cuisine. We recommend booking a romantic dinner on the beach (check details with the hotel).

10. Pondok Agung Bed & Breakfast
This 3-star hotel is probably the only affordable option among Tanjung Benoa hotels that are so close to the beach.
It is a typical Balinese compound like the ones you stayed in when you visited Bali 15 years ago, with cozy Balinese houses, lush gardens, and an outdoor swimming pool in the centre.
The rooms are actually really nice, with private bathrooms, free WiFi, and complimentary breakfast. For 25 AUD it is a steal!
