The Four Seasons features a magnificent infinity pool with sea views and villas, all with private infinity pools.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – Tranquility and faultless opulence in one of Bali’s premier locations.

Cascading down an extensive hillside facing the sea, villas are only accessible along steps and cobblestone paths through ornate tropical gardens. All are very spacious and sumptuous with a subtle Balinese décor, stunning bathrooms, and abundant windows to maximize the sublime views of the curved Jimbaran Bay and its famed sunsets. Each villa features a private pool (with a gazebo and an extensive deck) and the infinity edges of the private pools and the main pool blur into the horizon. Although only five minutes on foot from Jimbaran, the access road and paths around the grounds are steep, so buggies are available. These can also whisk guests to the private beach and renowned seafood cafés nearby.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – The Location

Area: Between the cliffs and steepish road, so no beach directly in front, but only a short stroll down to the sea and beachside cafés and bars.
Address: Jimbaran Bay. At the far southern end of Jimbaran, a surprisingly quiet region just south of the airport.
How to Get There: The only way to/from the airport is by metered taxi or chartered car with a driver. This takes about 20 minutes, depending on traffic.
Handy to: Cafés on the sand for seafood dinners at sunset.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – The Basics

Guests: Caters well for all but with the exquisite setting and lofty rates, many guests seem to be couples over 40.
Kids Club: The Jimba Club offers a decent range of activities, including treasure hunts, kite-flying, coconut bowling, and crab hunting.
Beach: The beach at Jimbaran is one of Bali’s finest: curved with calm waters and white sand, and often uncrowded. Only 5 minutes on foot (less by resort buggy), the private Coconut Grove Beach is also superb with shady trees and abundant water sports.
Views: Many views of the sea and curved Jimbaran Bay are partially obstructed by other villas. Vistas are even more extraordinary at night: hundreds of tables spread along the beach with twinkling candles.
Kitchen: Larger villas feature a kitchen as well as a dining/living area.
Private Pools/Jacuzzis: The resort only offers villas, each with an infinity pool.
 Extras: Water sports. Balinese dance/music performances. Free transfers around Jimbaran. And ask about free local tours.
Parking: Enough free and secure spots but think long and hard before driving anywhere in Bali.
How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – Rooms

Room Types: Deluxe Villa • Premier Ocean Villa (1 or 2 bedrooms) • Jimbaran Bay Villa (1 or 2 bedrooms) • Garden Villa (1 or 2 bedrooms) • Imperial Three Bedroom Villa • Royal Villa • Family Premier Villa • List of all Rooms
Smoking Rooms: Fairly strict about smoking. Ask at reception about dedicated areas.
Best Room: The Royal Villas are very spacious and luxurious, with infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon. Higher up the hill for less obstructed bay views.
For Families: Each villa has a daybed that can convert to a single bed, while another single can also be squeezed in. Some villas have connecting doors, while others have 2 or 3 bedrooms. With a special children’s bedroom, the Family Premier Villas are ideal for families of 4.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – Local Transport

Walking & Cycling: With flat roads and less traffic than other regions, walking around Jimbaran is pleasant – and often quicker via the beach than the road. Cycling is also easy, but the road immediately outside the resort gates is steep. Ask at the hotel about bike rentals.
Public Transport & Shuttle Buses: In lieu of any public transport, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Jimbaran with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing. Shuttle bus companies (e.g. Perama) that service Kuta and Sanur don’t bother coming to Jimbaran.
Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: Taxis ply the main road and are a cheap and comfortable way to reach anywhere in southern Bali. For longer distances, charter a car with a driver. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, nor is hiring a motorbike for traveling around this part of the south. All transport options can be arranged at the hotel.

Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

Just before this cluster, a couple of low-key cafés facing the sand down the road include White Sands Beach House and JWB Pizza.
And almost hidden within the Karma Jimbaran villas, about 350m down the road, is an excellent restaurant, The Bay, with live music most nights.

Nearby Shops & Markets

Jimbaran Corner – This quaint shopping center is home to a bundle of boutiques and bistros. About 1 km away, but too far and steep to walk, so ask the hotel for a lift.

Attractions

A highlight of any trip to Bali is dinner at sunset on the sand in Jimbaran. With wandering musicians, fireworks, and traditional dances, this should not be missed. Cafés set up from 4 pm at several places along the beach (including Muaya Beach), but most are also open all day. Menus overwhelmingly focus on seafood but other meals are available.
