Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay
OVERVIEW
Located on the island’s southern coast, Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay is an exclusive yet authentic Balinese resort. Sprawling across 35 acres of lush tropical greenery and offering direct access to the chalky sand beach at sea level, the layout of Four Season’s Jimbaran Bay is inspired by the basics of Balinese village life.
Each of the rooms and suites are divided into a series of seven ‘villages’ surrounding the central facilities building, as you would see in a typical village, and Balinese customs don’t stop there: with traditional treatments available at the Village Spa and a variety of tours and local visits, Jimbaran Bay is the perfect place to experience the real Bali in a truly luxurious setting. Active holidaymakers and honeymooners will love the range of watersports on offer – the resort well and truly makes the most of its beachfront setting, with surfing in Jimbaran Bay and sailing. If you prefer to relax then Coconut Grove, the resort’s second beach, is ideal for kicking back with a coconut cocktail.
There’s plenty to do on dry land without needing to get your feet wet, too. Hiking trails in the area are fantastic and can be accessed with or without a guide, or you could borrow the resort’s biked for pedaling through the paddy fields. Nearby there are plenty of cultural sites like temples and local villages, so if you’re keen to learn a bit more about the local area the smiling staff will happily oblige.
