Its main purpose is as a recreation and stopover place for the royal family and royal guests who come to Bali. Therefore, various arrangements are made as attractive and beautiful as possible to look at.

This place is truly a cultural heritage of ancient Bali with its characteristic form of a water palace, the result of a combination of Chinese and Balinese style architecture.
