Bukit Peninsula, Bali

Bukit Peninsula (20 June, 2004)


Bukit Peninsula also called Semenanjung Bukit, is the headland at the southern end of Bali. The name means "hill peninsula". Unlike the rest of Bali, Bukit Peninsula is arid and stoney. At the eastern and southern coasts, the terrain makes a precipitous drop to the churning ocean below.

The proximity of Bukit Peninsula to the Ngurah Rai International Airport makes it a choice area for tourist-related development. The eastern part of the peninsula is now the home for the upscale resort development of Nusa Dua.

Jimbaran is on the northern part of Bukit Peninsula. At the center of Bukit Peninsula is a cultural park that has attracted undue attention and controversy, the Garuda Wisnu Kencana. On the eastern tip of Bukit Peninsula is Pura Luhur Uluwatu, one of the most sacred and stunningly breathtaking sea temples in Bali.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
