Jimbaran as an administrative entity part of Kuta, Badung. and encompasses the area just of Bali’s international airport. Located around 15 minutes from Seminyak or 30 minutes from Canggu. Most of jimbaran’s 12,000 inhabitants live in a cluster of traditional banjar neighborhoods at the narrowest part of the isthmus, but the Jimbaran area also includes the sparsely populated northwestern corner of the Bukit plateau.
Since the Nusa Dua highway leads visitors through the region along the eastern mudflats and mangrove swamps, the area went almost unnoticed by tourists until a few years ago. There were no hotels or even homestays, no tourist restaurants, no art shops, few artists, and hardly anyone who could speak English. All that is changing rapidly, perhaps more rapidly than some of the local residents would like. Jimbaran’s fine beach has now led to the construction of a number of luxury hotels along its edge, and in a few years the area seems destined to become another major Bali resort rivaling resorts in Sanur, resorts in Kuta and resorts in Nusa Dua.
