Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

Sheltered on the hillside in a calm cove overlooking three miles of beachfront, the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay has been designed to resemble a traditional Balinese village. The 156 Villas and Residence Villas are held within free-standing, thatched-roof pavilions with cascading hibiscus and jasmine covered walls. Each villa features oversized indoor and outdoor living areas, a courtyard and private pool. They come with the option of one or two bedrooms, while two to four bedroom Residence Villas are also available. Each with a library, fully equipped kitchen and positioned just steps from Jimbaran Beach. All accommodation is brightly decorated in natural tones with tasteful Balinese art with glass doors opening onto wooden decks. The bathrooms are vast with double vanities, indoor and outdoor showers, and stand-alone baths big enough for two.

Breakfast is served in the open-air pavilion, light meals at the Pool Terrace Café, or you can visit Sundara, the hotel's stylish restaurant where Asian cuisine and reviving cocktails are served. Swim in the main resort 57-metre infinity pool … or in the sea. Activities include morning meditation, Balinese dance performances and temple tours. Water sports can be booked at the beach club or consider a cooking class or rubber of tennis. The Healing Village Spa is one of the finest on the island and offers a range of Balinese-inspired holistic and traditional treatments, complemented by a unique yoga program.
