Serangan Island: Bali’s Rising Crown Jewel & The Future of Kura Kura Bali

Last Updated: July 4, 2026

Your Complete Guide to Pulau Serangan | Turtle Island | Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone

Serangan Island — known locally as Pulau Serangan or Turtle Island — is one of Bali’s most captivating and rapidly transforming destinations. Located just 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport in the southern district of Denpasar, this 365-hectare island sits at the heart of Indonesia’s most ambitious tourism project: the Kura Kura Bali Special Economic Zone (KEK). Whether you are seeking a secluded surf break, a genuine turtle conservation experience, a spiritual pilgrimage to the ancient Pura Sakenan temple, or VIP access to Bali’s newest luxury destination, Serangan Island delivers an experience unlike anywhere else in Bali.

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.

Kura Kura Bali: Bali’s Premier Special Economic Zone

The Kura Kura Bali SEZ represents a bold new chapter for Indonesian tourism. Covering 498 hectares across Serangan Island and the surrounding waters, this Special Economic Zone was established to attract top-tier investment in tourism, creative industries, and sustainable development. Major milestones in 2025-2026 include the opening of ACS International School, construction of Grand Outlet Bali by Mitsubishi Estate, and development of a luxury 140-room hotel. The SEZ has already attracted investors from the US, Japan, and Singapore, achieving 75% of its 2024 investment target. Read the full Kura Kura Bali guide →
