  Destination: Jimbaran  
         
Jimbaran Beach and the Bukit Peninsula are home to award-winning resorts which consistently rank at the top of the world’s 100 best hotels in annual readers’ polls conducted by the most prestigious international travel magazines.

Located just 15 minutes from the airport and conveniently close to both Nusa Dua and Kuta, the area offers excellent local shopping; a wide range of dining options both within and a little beyond the resorts; a number of first class spas; and a range of watersports including windsurfing, Hobie Cat sailing and surfing.

Jimbaran and the Bukit offer meeting and event planners some of the most impressive venues and facilities on the island, including a former limestone quarry that has been the setting for many successful major functions; several magnificent wedding venues; and recreational and team-building venues such as Paintball Bali.

Jimbaran Beach is a quiet stretch of sand popular with locals and tourists alike for its gentle tides, dramatic sunsets and charming open-air seafood restaurants. Early morning visitors to Jimbaran’s traditional fish market can observe the island’s chefs, restaurant owners and local housewives purchasing the night’s catch straight off Jimbaran’s fleet of colourful jukung fishing boats. At sunset early diners gather on the sand to enjoy the day’s catch barbecued over coconut husks, or lazily sit in hillside restaurants and beachfront cafés sipping cocktails.

Overlooking Jimbaran is the craggy Bukit Peninsula - home to the legendary surf breaks of Padang-Padang, Uluwatu, Balangan and Bingin which boast massive breakers, dwarfing those of Kuta and Legian. Considered among the top ten surfing locales in the world, the Bukit is also a prized destination for beachcombers, sunbathers and seekers of solitude. A feature is the dramatic backdrop of sheer cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, as well as spectacular views over all of southern Bali.

Perched ceremoniously on the tip of the peninsula face is the celebrated Luhur Uluwatu Temple – home to powerful guardian spirits of the sea and mischievous monkeys. One of the most important spiritual pilgrimages in Bali, this magical temple, hewn from glistening limestone is a must-visit architectural marvel.

Jimbaran and the Bukit, no longer the sole preserve of fishermen and avid surfers, is now home to a vital part of Bali’s meeting and incentive facilities.
