Mangupura

Mangupura is a district located in the Badung Regency of Bali, Indonesia. It is situated in the southern part of the island and is known for its role as the administrative and governmental center of Badung. The name "Mangupura" itself is derived from Balinese words, often interpreted as a place of prosperity or a grand city.

The district is home to important government buildings, including the Badung Regency office and other administrative facilities. This concentration of government functions makes Mangupura a hub for local governance and public services. Beyond its administrative significance, Mangupura also encompasses residential areas and some commercial establishments that support the local population and government workers.

Geographically, Mangupura benefits from its proximity to other key areas within Badung, such as the popular tourist destinations of Kuta, Seminyak, and Nusa Dua, though it is not directly a coastal tourist resort itself. Its strategic location facilitates access to these areas and to Denpasar, the provincial capital. The development of Mangupura reflects the growth and administrative needs of Badung Regency as a whole.
