BALI VILLAS JIMBARAN - BALI VILLAS BUKIT - BALI VILLAS ULUWATU

Jimbaran is a fishing village and tourist resort in Bali, Indonesia,is only 10-15 minutes south of the airport, and a pre-paid airport taxi costs between Rp 60,000 and 80,000 depending on exactly where in Jimbaran you are heading. Jimbaran is around a 20 minute drive from Legian and Seminyak, and 30 minutes from Sanur, via the Jl Ngurah Rai bypass. Jimbaran is between Kuta and the Bukit Peninsula, with Nusa Dua to the southeast and Uluwatu to the southwest.

Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali -just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. Jimbaran is now home to several world class five-star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. Because of the number of five-star beach resorts, there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row". The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The sand is fine and white, and the calm waters make it very suitable for swimming, children and adults alike. Eating seafood on the beach in Jimbaran is a quintessential part of many a visitor's itinerary when coming to Bali. Everything is freshly caught as Jimbaran is still a functioning fishing village. The combination of atmosphere and good food make this a memorable and delightful place to spend an evening.

The Bukit Peninsula is at the southern end of the island of Bali, Indonesia. It's traditionally considered to be all the area south of Jimbaran beach. The Bukit Peninsula is connected to Kuta through Jimbaran by the busy Jalan Bypass Nusa Dua and this is the only route in. A taxi from Kuta to Uluwatu for example takes 30 to 40 minutes on winding roads.As a tourist destination, the whole Bukit Peninsula area was popularised by surfers.

Uluwatu is a very well known destination among surfing enthusiasts. Most of the surf spots are only suitable for advanced or expert surfers though - the waves are big here. The main surfing spots are Uluwatu, Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Bingin/Impossibles and Suluban. The area has more recently sprouted an impressive collection of high-end villas and resorts as well.
