The regency of Badung extends in anarrow ribbon from the central
uplands in the north of the island to the Nusa Dua Peninsula, also know as Bukit Badung,
in the sourth.
The Peninsula is strikingly different from the northern fertile volcanic plain, consisting
of a slightly-raised limestone plateau surrounded by sea. Kuta and jimbaran are to
the north and west of the peninsula, Sanur to the east, while the famous Nusa Dua resort
area is on the eastern tip of the peninsula itself.
The local government became concerned about the "immorality" of the Western
hippie communes which developed in Kuta. So it was decided to isolate future tourist
resorts. The development of Nusa Dua was therefore carefully planned. Today, while Kuta is
still synonymous with sun, fun and youth, Nusa Dua-which was developed in the 1980's-is
home to the five-star resorts. Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran, Sawangan and Batu Pageh (Bali
Beach), are the lates additions to the list of attractions Badung has to offer.Places of Interest | Denpasar |
