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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
