Known as Indonesia's 'Island of the Gods', Denpasar (Bali) is famed for its tropical beaches, captivating cultural sites, and spectacular natural beauty.

Begin your journey by exploring the holy hillside landmark of Pura Luhur Batukaru, housing one of the nine temples built to safeguard Bali from malevolent spirits. Denpasar (Bali) is home to over 10,000 religious monuments, with Uluwatu Temple, Tanah Lot, and Besakih Temple being among the most iconic and sacred.

To further indulge in the rich cultural heritage, hike up Mount Lempuyang to discover one of the island’s oldest pre-Hindu temples - Lempuyang Temple. The third largest on Denpasar (Bali) and of great significance in Balinese culture, the temple offers a breathtaking view of the island's eastern tip. Alternatively, head to the 17th-century Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, which is situated on the edge of Lake Beratan. A mesmerising sight, the temple appears to float on the water's surface, making it an iconic cultural landmark.

For a taste of the island’s spiritual essence, venture to the serene emerald green mountains of Ubud, where you will discover the verdant Tegalalang Rice Terrace.

No trip to Denpasar (Bali) would be complete without a visit to its stunning beaches. We recommend heading to Kuta, Seminyak, and Nusa Dua for an unparalleled beach experience to enjoy a day of relaxation and watersport activities like surfing and snorkelling.

Adventure enthusiasts will thoroughly fall in love with a whitewater rafting excursion with Bali Rafting Adventure down the Ayung River as it serves up stunning views of rice paddy terraces and lush rainforests, as well as a few exhilarating drops to get your adrenaline pumping. For a more leisurely experience, take a traditional jukung canoe ride down the coastline.

Those looking to take a day trip should consider paying a visit to Menjangan Island, which can be reached by motorboat in approximately 30 minutes from the northeast end of Denpasar (Bali). Awash with a vibrant marine ecosystem, explore Menjangan Island underwater by going diving or snorkelling as you will discover a colourful world of coral reef gardens and diverse species of tropical fish. The island also offers stunning beaches that are the perfect place to relax and unwind, and a wealth of sea birds, turtles, and even deer for those who want to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.

Cathay Pacific brings the convenience of finding the best hotels to you. If you are looking to escape the city, Lift Bali is nestled in the midst of lush rice paddies and dense jungle. Featuring three adult-sized treehouses, these unique lodges create a surreal accommodation experience that seamlessly blend into their natural surroundings. Alternatively, Raffles Bali has created a serene oasis along the beach in Jimbaran Bay, less than 30 minutes away from I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. The resort features 32 pool villas, with each featuring gorgeous uninterrupted ocean views.

A haven for food lovers, Denpasar delivers an incredible selection of culinary options that are bound to tantalise any traveller’s taste buds. Start off by visiting Vincent’s, located on the east side of the island and featuring a decor that pays homage to the vibrant Balinese culture with its rattan furniture and bright colours. With an exceptional selection of local delicacies and Western cuisine, be sure to make a reservation for a table in the romantic garden, a dimly lit oasis filled with lush greenery, twinkling fairy lights, and live jazz music. We also recommend dining at Damai, an award-winning restaurant encompassed by lush jungle foliage that draws an essence of luxury from the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings. With an emphasis on using fresh organic herbs and vegetables picked from its own on-site garden, the dishes prepared here are packed with flavour and are further accentuated by candlelit tables next to the swimming pool that provide stunning views of the sea.
