New Resorts on the Bukit Bali

Chatting with a friend last night I learned there are 2 new resorts being built on the Bukit Peninsula. Apparently there will be a golf course too. My friend said they have dumped soil to build the bunkers and its all go.

Since foreingers are now allowed to own land, a move tha happended while I was away there will probably be more interest in building on the Bukit, as places such as Dreamland, are 20 minutes from Kuta, have a ocean view and access to sandy beaches. According to my source, access to Balanagan is now blocked off, you have to go the back way past La Joya, there is a new road.

Pro’s about living on the Bukit:
Close to Kuta / airport
Lots of space
Not many Balinese (if you do not care for Balinese culture)
Its quiet
Ocean views
Sandy beaches
Great surfing

Con’s about living on the Bukit
It hot and dry
Not much grows there
Not many Balinese (if you enjoy being around Balinese culture)
You have to drive to get anywhere, restaurants, nightlife and services are not on the Bukit
Too many surfers
Many rutted roads
