A Transformation Story

What Makes Serangan Island Special?

Serangan Island is not just a destination — it is a transformation story. Once a humble fishing village of just 111 hectares, the island was dramatically expanded through reclamation to 365 hectares, and today it is ground zero for the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone, established by Government Regulation No. 23 of 2023.

With 498 hectares designated for tourism and creative industries, ACS International School now open, Grand Outlet Bali (a Mitsubishi Estate joint venture) under construction, and a 140-room luxury hotel targeted for Q4 2026, Serangan Island is rapidly becoming Bali’s most talked-about emerging destination.

  • Bali’s premier turtle conservation centre (TCEC)
  • Pura Sakenan — one of the six sacred Sad Kahyangan temples
  • Uncrowded reef break with consistent swells
  • Fifteen minutes from the international airport
