Nestled along the tranquil shores of Tanjung Benoa, Novotel Bali Benoa, a five-star beachfront resort under the prestigious Accor group, welcomes guests to experience an elegant fusion of culinary indulgence and cultural wonder. Here, warm hospitality meets the timeless beauty of Balinese traditions in an atmosphere that is both refined and deeply evocative of the island’s spirit.

Each Thursday and Saturday, from 6.30pm to 10.00pm, the resort transforms into a stage for culture, cuisine and connection.
On Saturday evenings, the beachfront comes alive with the energy of the Fire Dance performance, set against the natural splendour of Tanjung Benoa’s coastline. As the sun dips below the horizon and the breeze dances through the palm trees, fire dancers mesmerise with a performance that blends skill, tradition and raw elemental beauty.
Guests can dine beneath the stars, savouring a sumptuous BBQ buffet featuring roasted Cajun chicken, tender grilled ribeye, sirloin, brisket, pork loin, lamb rack, sausage kebabs and a variety of freshly grilled seafood.

To make the night even more memorable, guests are invited to take photos with the performers after the show, a treasured souvenir of a truly extraordinary evening.
For those drawn to the island’s rich cultural tapestry, Thursday evenings offer an immersive experience with the iconic Barong Dance and a traditional Balinese buffet. This legendary performance tells the timeless story of the battle between good and evil, where Barong, the benevolent lion-like spirit and guardian of virtue, confronts the fearsome Rangda, Queen of Demons. The tale unfolds through expressive dance and elaborate costume, revealing Bali’s mythological depth and spiritual beauty.
As the story unfolds, guests can enjoy a thoughtfully prepared traditional Balinese buffet. The buffet features a variety of beloved local dishes including Tipat Cantok, Rujak Kuah Pindang, seafood grilled with aromatic Balinese spices, Ayam and Bebek Betutu, Babi Guling, Martabak Terang Bulan, and a generous selection of traditional desserts.
