Jimbaran

Jimbaran is a coastal town and district (kecamatan) in Badung Regency, Bali, Indonesia. It lies on the southwestern coast of Bali, facing the Indian Ocean, just south of Denpasar and near Ngurah Rai International Airport. The area centers on Jimbaran Bay, a curved, sandy stretch known for its sunset views and accessible beach sections that extend along the coast.

Historically a traditional fishing village, Jimbaran has grown into a major tourism destination since the 1990s, with luxury resorts along the coast and a cluster of seafood-oriented restaurants. The evenings are especially famous for the Jimbaran seafood cafes, where open-air diners grill freshly caught seafood on the sand, often accompanied by sunset.

The local economy is dominated by hospitality, services, and fishing, while the inland areas retain rural character and temple sites. Notable accommodations include Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, AYANA Resort and Spa Bali, and RIMBA by AYANA Bali, along with other luxury hotels and villas. Jimbaran is connected to the wider Bali road network and forms part of the southern Bali tourism corridor that also includes Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Pecatu.
