About
Badung Regency is one of the regencies of Bali province in Indonesia. It is a place of resorts and coastline, and it contains the popular tourist destination of Jimbaran, along with part of Denpasar, the provincial capital often described as the resort capital of Indonesia.
What a visit is like
Most visitors come to Badung for the coast and the holiday rhythm of the area. Jimbaran is the best-known name here, a place where beach life, hotels and restaurants sit close together. Because the regency takes in part of Denpasar, it also offers a useful base for exploring the wider island.
What to expect
- A resort-oriented landscape, with hotels and beaches close to one another
- Easy access to Denpasar and its city life, including shops, eating places and services
- A setting that suits a relaxed stay as well as a short stop on a longer Bali itinerary
Badung suits travellers who want a practical, well-connected base on Bali, with the sea close at hand and the energy of Denpasar nearby. If you are deciding whether to go, consider whether you prefer a quiet coastal stay or a mix of beach and city, and plan around the area you are most drawn to.
