The town curves around a wide, sheltered bay at the start of the Bukit peninsula. It is known for its fish market, seafood grilled on the beach at sunset, and resorts on the hills above the bay, from family hotels to secluded villas. Many guests are couples or families who value the short arrival.

The shortest transfer from DPS

From the airport, the driver heads south along the bypass towards the Bukit. Jimbaran begins almost immediately, which makes this the shortest of the common transfers from Bali Airport.

Where you stay decides the last part of the drive. Hotels near the beach are reached through town streets, while the hillside resorts are on roads climbing towards the limestone ridge.

A good first or last night

Because the airport is so close, many travellers book Jimbaran for the night after a late arrival or before an early flight. It saves a long drive at the end of a tiring journey, and it works well before heading on to Ubud or the east coast the next day.

On the beach, tables are set up on the sand in the evening, and the seafood dinners at sunset are the main reason many visitors come.

From Jimbaran to the airport

The return is short, but the bypass near the airport can still be congested in the evening. Allow about 25 minutes plus a buffer, and leave around three and a half hours before an international flight.
