Jimbaran Puri – Hidden gem with perfect tropical-style beach, pool, and villas.

This gorgeous boutique resort faces a magnificent stretch of powder-white sand and beautifully marries the traditional (e.g., thatched roof) with the new (e.g., private pools). Among the manicured gardens are spacious cottages with teak furniture, a sunken bathtub, and marble floors. Elsewhere are secluded villas (with one or two bedrooms) featuring a substantial private pool and a private butler. Adding further to the charm and tropical holiday vibe are the boutique, library, and shimmering infinity pool alongside the beach, lined with cabanas and angled palms. The resort is serenely located 300m from the main road in a quieter part of Jimbaran and only a short stroll to the seafood cafés that set up tables on the sand for the majestic sunsets.

Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, but a rental is possible at a local agency. Organize these transport options at the resort.

Jimbaran Puri – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

More than a dozen seafood cafés are clustered at the end of Jalan Pemelisan Agung Street, about 300m north of the resort via the beach. Often with wandering musicians, fireworks, and traditional dances, dinner on the sand during sunset will be a highlight of any trip to Bali. Most cafes are open all day. Menus overwhelmingly focus on seafood, but other meals are available.

Otherwise, there isn’t a lot in this part of Jimbaran, but these two options are excellent:

  • Jimbaran Market — Worth exploring. The experience is similar to an authentic Balinese market. About 700m. At the intersection of the street to the resort and main road, turn left (north).
  • Samasta Lifestyle Village — Popular outdoor mall with boutiques and souvenir shops, some tempting eateries, and the Timezone games arcade. Take a taxi (seven minutes).

Attractions

  • Sunset Dinner on the Beach — 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 the end of Jalan Pemelisan Agung street, 300m north of the resort), but most are also open all day.
