Jimbaran Bay Beach Resort & Spa

Jimbaran Bay Beach Resort & Spa is a four-star hotel at the northern, Kedonganan end of Jimbaran Bay, a short walk from the beach and the morning fish market. Rooms are spread across low-rise blocks around the pools, and upper floors look out over the bay towards the airport runway and the Bukit hills.

There is a rooftop bar for sunset drinks, a spa, a restaurant and family-friendly facilities, and the hotel can arrange airport transfers, which take around 10–15 minutes from here. Prices are reasonable for the location, which is why it is popular with families and with travellers on short stays.

The beach directly in front is part of the long sandy bay and generally calm. For dinner, the seafood cafés on the sand are close by; for Uluwatu's cliffs and surf beaches allow 40 minutes or more by car. Reservations can be made directly through the website, by email or on WhatsApp, and direct bookings sometimes include extras such as breakfast or late check-out.
