Jimbaran is a village in south Bali with many luxury resorts and villas.
Jimbaran is located just south of the airport and Kuta. Back then, it was just a tiny fishing village with a daily market.
Since the 1980s, Jimbaran has evolved into several world-class 5-star beach resorts and some more moderate mid-market hotels.
Although there are few budget accommodations, there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges above Jimbaran Bay.
This has led to names such as “Beverly Hills of Bali” or “Millionaire’s Row”.
White sand beaches line the bay, which is a very safe place to swim.
A major tourist draws in the evenings is the trio of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach, as well as the truly gorgeous sunsets.
A Norwegian university is also located in Jimbaran: Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosophy, culture, economics, and journalism.
This school is located in Kedonganan, near Sari Segara Resort and on Jl, Bantas Kau, where it also has a small cafe.
It is close to Kuta, Seminyak, and the cultural highlights of Central Bali but it doesn’t have a lot of nightlife.
Make your way to Jimbaran
Across Bali, motorbikes can be rented and taxis are readily available. For more information, please read the main Bali article. There are two main roads in Jimbaran, the Jl Bypass Ngurah Rai, which runs from the Ngurah Rai International Airport to Nusa Dua in the north, and the Jl Uluwatu, which runs from Jl Bypass Ngurah Rai to Uluwatu Temple in the Bukit Peninsula in the south. This is one of the better areas of South Bali for walking.
