JIMBARAN BALI


Jimbaran is a fishing village and tourist resort in Bali, Indonesia. Located just at the south of Ngurah Rai International Airport, the beach is cluttered with seafood restaurants and some of the finest luxury hotels in the world, including the five-star Intercontinental Hotel Bali, Four Seasons and Jimbaran Puri Bali. Tourism in Jimbaran has increased rapidly so that it has boosted the local economy, but was devastated by the 2005 Bali bombings when suicide bombers struck at two popular warungs (restaurants) along the beach. However, the tourism industry has recovered and it is quite common now to find the village packed with tour buses.Jimbaran has been described as ‘honeymooner’s paradise’, due to its private luxury villas (Mango Tree Villas) and hotels, its scenic views and stunning beaches. It is both a sanctuary and an island of wonder, as it is also rich with culture and history, providing the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. It is administered under Kuta South District along with Nusa Dua peninsula.
Jimbaran lies on the 'neck' of the southern peninsula in Bali and is widely known for the fresh seafood kiosks that are scattered along the beach. Diners select the live seafood that they wish to eat, and it is immediately prepared, generally grilled over a fire of coconut husks rather than charcoal.
