Project Highlights
Brief Overview
Ungasan is a quiet and scenic community located on the southernmost tip of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs and expansive ocean views, the area blends traditional village life with a growing number of luxury villas and resorts. Originally a fishing village, ungasan has gradually developed into a residential and tourism destination while still maintaining a relatively low tourist density compared to areas like Kuta or Nusa Dua.
The area is defined by its proximity to some of Bali’s most beautiful beaches, many of which require access via steep staircases or winding cliffside roads. Ungasan attracts long-stay visitors, surfers, and travelers seeking a more relaxed environment while staying close to popular destinations like Uluwatu and Jimbaran. The overall lifestyle is slower-paced, with limited nightlife and a strong presence of local Balinese culture.

About Ungasan
Ungasan is a geographical community rather than a single master-planned development, and no specific developer is associated with it. The area has evolved organically from a traditional fishing village into a mixed-use residential and tourism destination. There is no defined completion date, as development continues steadily.
The community offers a variety of accommodation types, including budget guesthouses, mid-range stays, and high-end clifftop villas with ocean views. Many newer properties reflect ongoing construction trends, particularly in the villa segment. Despite this growth, ungasan retains a rural feel, with local markets, small shops, and traditional daily life still visible.
A defining feature of ungasan is its access to beaches. While some require descending steep steps or navigating narrow roads, they are generally less crowded and retain a more natural setting compared to more developed coastal areas. Beach clubs such as Sundays Beach Club provide more structured experiences for visitors seeking comfort.
Ungasan also benefits from its location between Jimbaran and Uluwatu, providing access to seafood dining, cultural attractions, and surf spots. However, due to its spread-out layout, residents and visitors typically rely on private transport such as cars or motorbikes.
