In the southern part of Bali, just south of the airport and Kuta, lies the once sleepy fishing village of Jimbaran. It used to be a humble market town with a small daily market. However, in the 1980s, everything changed, and Jimbaran transformed into a luxurious destination with world-class 5-star beach resorts and high-end villas. Some even refer to it as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row". Visitors to Jimbaran can enjoy a stunning white sand beach, perfect for safe swimming. And let's not forget about the captivating sunset, which attracts tourists from all around the world.
