Jimbaran has the most listings of any area we track — 4,991 — a median asking price of about $236,000, and the widest price spread on the island: the middle half runs from roughly $148,000 to $909,000, a factor of six. That spread is the single most important fact about buying here.
Why one name covers six price brackets
“Jimbaran” is used for the bay and the fishing village, the seafood strip, the five-star stretch toward the Four Seasons, the inland hills climbing toward Ungasan, and a good deal of ordinary Bali housing in between. All of it is ten to twenty minutes from the airport, which is why the label is used so freely.
The practical consequence: a Jimbaran asking price tells you almost nothing on its own. A beachside plot and a plot in the hills twenty-five minutes behind it share a label and nothing else. Before comparing two Jimbaran listings, establish which Jimbaran each one is in.

Snapshot taken 7 October 2026 from a sample of 20 listings, converted at 16,500 IDR to the dollar. Asking prices, not transaction prices. With a spread this wide, the median is the only figure here worth leaning on.
Two numbers explain the position. At $124,000 an are, Jimbaran land is cheaper than Ungasan’s $126,000 and much cheaper than Pecatu’s $175,000 — but the median plot is the second smallest of the ten, at 178 m². Jimbaran sells small pieces of reasonably priced land close to the airport.
What the bay actually offers
Flat, calm water on a west-facing bay, with sunsets and no surf — the opposite of the Bukit cliffs twenty minutes south. The seafood warungs on the sand are an institution, the Kedonganan fish market sits at the north end, and the resort stretch anchors the upper price bracket.
Proximity to the airport is the quiet driver. For short stays, a transfer of fifteen minutes rather than ninety is worth real money per night, and for an owner who visits six times a year it is worth more than that.
What to check here specifically
- Which Jimbaran. Get the pin, then measure the scooter time to the bay and to the bypass. The label is doing too much work to be trusted.
- Aircraft noise. Northern Jimbaran and Kedonganan sit under the approach. It is a discount nobody mentions, and it is audible before dawn.
- Zoning. Large parts of Jimbaran are genuinely residential, where short-stay guests are not lawful. Given how much of the local stock is ordinary housing, confirm this field rather than assuming it.
- Plot size versus the house. At a median of 178 m², the building often fills the land. Check setbacks and whether the pool is where the garden should be.
- Water and drainage in the low streets. The flat land behind the bay takes water in the wet season. Ask neighbours, visit in February.
Who it fits
Jimbaran suits a buyer who values airport proximity and calm water, is willing to do the work of locating the specific plot, and wants a lower entry than the cliff areas. It suits family and resort-adjacent guest demand better than the surf or nightlife economies.
It suits poorly anyone buying remotely on the label, anyone who needs a large plot, and anyone sensitive to aircraft noise who has not checked the flight path.

Common questions
How much does a villa in Jimbaran cost?
The median asking price on Rumah123 in October 2026 was about $236,000 across 4,991 listings — the largest inventory of the ten areas we track. The middle half runs from roughly $148,000 to $909,000, the widest spread in Bali.
Why is the Jimbaran price range so wide?
Because the name covers the beachfront, the five-star resort stretch, the fishing village and the inland hills toward Ungasan. Those are different markets sharing one label. Establish which part of Jimbaran a listing is in before comparing it with anything.
Is Jimbaran cheaper than the Bukit?
Per are, yes — about $124,000 against Pecatu’s $175,000 and Uluwatu’s $153,000 — but the plots are smaller, a median of 178 m². The headline price is lower partly because you are buying less land.
Is aircraft noise a problem in Jimbaran?
In the northern part and in Kedonganan it can be, because they sit under the approach to Ngurah Rai. It is rarely mentioned in listings and it is easy to verify: stand on the plot early in the morning.
Can I host guests in a Jimbaran villa?
Only where the plot’s zoning allows it. A large share of Jimbaran is ordinary residential housing where short stays are not lawful, so this is a field to confirm on the certificate rather than infer from the neighbours.
