Jimbaran, located in south-western Bali has become increasingly popular with tourists in recent times. Jimbaran Beach makes up part of the narrow strait that connects Bali’s mainland and the Bukit Peninsula. The scenic locale is host to many of the luxury hotels Bali has to offer. If you are looking for a seaside vacation with style, Jimbaran Beach should be high on your list! Top notch restaurants, water sports, shopping, nightclubs and even a healthy dose of culture are what you can expect. You will also gain access to the exclusive Jimbaran Beach Club, if you stay at Le Meridien Bali Jimbaran.
This famous beach is a surfer’s paradise that draws the more serious surfers, being less touristy than others and with several surf schools in the area including The Rip Curl Surf School in Bali. Wander down the ‘Pantai Muaya Jimbaran’ and discover Bali’s favourite seafood experience. The cluster of intimate local seafood eateries offer up incredible barbeques accompanied by chilled beer and a spectacular sunset. Fine dining on the beach is also available at upscale restaurants and beach clubs. The Chiringuito El Kabron Spanish Restaurant and Cliff Club is located, as its name suggests, on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The kitchen is manned by a Michelin Star chef from Barcelona who serves up a menu with Spanish flair to rival the panoramic views.
Jimbaran was once a fishing village and though the main market is located in Kedonganan, a traditional wet market operates on this particular beach. More culture comes in the way of the Jenggala Gallery, an extension of one of Bali’s renowned ceramic makers, Jenggala Keramik.
The neighbouring areas also have several attractions, namely: New Kuta Green Park, a ‘fun for the family’ type water park; the eighteen hole golf course in Kuta; Uluwatu Temple, which is perched high on a cliff and is the subject of many postcard photos; Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, the highlight of which is the giant statue of Hindu God Vishnu.
