DPS Airport Overview

Bali Airport, officially known as I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS airport), is the main gateway to Indonesia’s most famous island. Located in Tuban, just south of Kuta and Denpasar, it is known for its stunning Balinese architectural features, including split gates (Candi Bentar) and intricate stone carvings. It is a busy but beautiful hub that perfectly sets the mood for your vacation.
 

Airport Structure

The airport is divided into two main terminals: International and Domestic.
 

• International Terminal: A large, multi-level building shaped like a wave. The arrivals hall is on the ground floor, while departures are on the third level. The duty-free area here is extensive, winding through high-end luxury shops before you reach the gates.
   
• Domestic Terminal: Located a short walk northeast of the international building. It serves flights to Jakarta, Lombok, and other islands.
   
• The "Festival Plaza": An open-air area with restaurants and shops that connects the two terminals, allowing you to walk between them easily.

Bali Airport Lounge Options

If you have a long wait before your flight or need to refresh:
 

• Premier Lounge: Located in the International Departures area (Mezzanine Level). It offers a terrace, showers, and a buffet.
   
• T/G Lounge: Another comfortable option in the International terminal with good food and Wi-Fi.
   
• Concordia Lounge: Located in the Domestic terminal for passengers traveling within Indonesia.

There is also a dedicated premium parking area closer to the terminal entrances. Finding a spot can be competitive during peak holidays, but the facility is well-managed with electronic space indicators.
