Jimbaran is a fishing village and tourist resort in Bali. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. Located just only 10 - 15 min. south of the airport.
That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. There is however little in the way of budget accommodation and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row".
Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Bantas Kau street, Kedonganan - close to Sari Segara Resort.
