Just 15 minutes from Natya Villa Jimbaran stands one of Bali’s most impressive landmarks — Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park. Home to the towering statue of Lord Vishnu astride the mythical Garuda, it is essential visiting for anyone drawn to culture, art and sweeping island views.
The centrepiece is the 121-metre statue, completed in 2018 after nearly three decades of construction — taller than the Statue of Liberty, and a symbol of harmony between humankind and nature.
Time your visit for the cultural performances: traditional Balinese dance through the day and the Kecak Fire Dance at sunset. The Lotus Pond and Festival Grounds host concerts and events, a lift rises to the statue’s crown for panoramic views, and the park’s exhibitions explore Balinese art, mythology and history. Dining and local souvenir shopping round out the day.
Staying at Natya Villa Jimbaran puts you minutes from GWK — and equally close to Uluwatu Temple and Jimbaran’s famous seafood restaurants — with spacious private villas suited to families and couples alike.
