Gianyar, Bali Province, Indonesia

🇮🇩 Gianyar Regency is a regency (kabupaten) in the Indonesian province and island of Bali, Indonesia. It has an area of 368.0 km² and is the second most densely populated district in Bali (after Badung). Its regency seat is the town of Gianyar. The civil registry survey of April 2011 listed a majority classified as Hindu. The town of Ubud, a centre of art and tourism, is located in Gianyar Regency.

Condotels and Apartments ban Although Badung Regency, Denpasar city and Gianyar Regency are the three richest regions in Bali and most of their wealth comes from tourism, in February 2012 Gianyar Regency officially banned the construction of new and increasingly-popular condominium hotels ("condotels") and apartment facilities. Unlike the Badung Regency and Denpasar, where condotels and apartments remain in high demand for tourist developers and investors, Gianyar Regency wants to protect local entrepreneurs.

Administrative districts The regency is divided into seven districts (kecamatan) and many administrative villages in each district (a total of 64 rural desa and 6 urban kelurahan). The four southern districts (Sukawati, Blahbatuh, Gianyar and Ubud) are included within the official metropolitan area of Greater Denpasar (Sarbagita).

Keramas Beach Keramas Beach in Blahbatuh has hosted international surfing competitions in the last couple of years with limited facilities such as uneven road and no parking lots.

In football, Bali is home to the football club Bali United, which plays in the Liga 1. The team was relocated from Samarinda, East Kalimantan, to Gianyar, Bali. Harbiansyah Hanafiah, the main commissioner of Bali United, explained that he did the name change and moved the homebase to Bali because there were no representatives from Bali in the highest football tier in Indonesia. Another reason was that local fans in Samarinda prefer to support Pusamania Borneo F.C. more than Persisam.
