Bali’s Tanjung Benoa has long been known as a place where watersports junkies can dive, parasail, jetski, banana boat, waterski, swim and play to their heart’s content out on both the clear sea off Nusa Dua’s white sand beaches and the protected waters of Benoa Harbour. There are more than enough five star resorts lining Nusa Dua’s beaches to house a vacation army so accommodation is never a problem for those who love hotels. But, what if you don’t fancy being surrounded by hordes of holiday makers and their noisy children and are in search of something unique and private to call your very own at Tanjung? Then Puri Tirta is the place for you.

Meaning ‘water palace’ in Indonesian, Puri Tirta is an enclave of four, private three-bedroom villas located in a traditional Balinese village right on the edge of the still and tranquil waters of Bali’s Benoa Harbour, offering anywhere from three to twelve bedrooms, which can accommodate just about any size group.

At the front of the property, Villas Sunset and Selamanya both sit on the water’s edge and are almost identical in structure with three bedrooms, (one up, two down), a large living room and kitchen, tropical gardens, private butlers, outdoor dining, huge pools and relaxation pavilions from where to lie back and take in the stillness of the harbour and Bali’s breathtaking sunsets. Villas Cantik and Alamanda are just a 50 metre walk back from the jetty and are equally as charming with the same set up and facilities, although they get their sea views from the upper floors. Modern and comfortable, the interior design and architecture of the villas work with the environment to create an atmosphere of extreme relaxation and privilege, a sense of spiritual harmony and balance that moves with the ebb and flow of the tides.

The villas become even more beautiful when the sun goes down.

“Villa Puri Tirta is an enclave of four private villas right on the tranquil waters of Bali’s Benoa Harbour.’”

If you should happen to tire of the serenity and the chef’s brilliant cooking it is an easy 10-minute stroll to the main street of Tanjung Benoa where you can find shops, boutiques, five star resorts, spas, and restaurants of all description. Along with all the 21st century fun, food and fashion, Tanjung Benoa also happens to be a cultural melting point for the seafaring peoples and traditions of Indonesia. All religions live together in harmony in the surrounding villages and they offer visitors a wonderful opportunity to wander or cycle the streets and take in all the diversity of the region and its friendly people. What more could you want?

In keeping with the water sports theme that the area is famous for, Puri Tirta also has its own jetty and speedboat and there are four kayaks available for exploring the mangroves and waterways. If your marine desires stretch further to say, a big game fishing trip, then they can easily arrange that too. Perfect for a family holiday or a group of friends, the fully-staffed Puri Tirta is paradise for both water sports lovers and sun worshippers alike.
