South Bali is where the transformation is taking place at the port of Benoa, with the soft launch of the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub, a state-of-the-art yacht and cruise hub worth an estimated IDR 1-1.6 trillion, expected as early as October 2025
You can already see real results:
- In 2023, the port welcomed 48 cruise ships and 78,214 tourists
- In 2024, this figure rises to 120,980 passengers
- From October 2025, the port will be able to accommodate superyachts up to 90m at the same time, with more than 180 mooring spaces and a minimum of 50 superyacht slips
Deputy Tourism Minister Nii Luh Puspa notes that the hub will be a catalyst for the development of a network of regional marinas - from Sabang to Raja Ampat
