BALI
Jimbaran Hotels and Resorts is set aside from the rest of Bali and offers a unique scene of luxury living in boutique cliffside villas over looking the sea and the beautiful Jimbaran bay as well as beach resort located right on the beach. Jimbaran is located south of the Airport and therefore can be considered as the northern most area of the Bukit which covers the large rocky area at the southernmost tip of Bali. Jimbaran is home to some of the international resort names as well as the long established domestic villas. When staying at Jimbaran it is possible to split the accommodation into about three main categories. First of all there are the main beachfront resorts located along the beach in the long bay of Jimbaran. You will find different grades of villas up to honeymoon standard as well as beautiful pools, indulgent restaurants and great gardens with bar and many other facilities that lead onto the beach and into the private beach area owned by the resort.
There are also amidst the trees on the outcrop of the bukit and overlooking the bay and waters edge, the private villas and boutique villas which are perfect for ultimate peace and serenity away from the hustle and bustle and in ultimate luxury. These beautiful villas are often staggered down the hillside so that each villa experiences an unspoilt and seemingly private view of the incredible scene. Apart from these top level options you will find budget villa accommodation located just of the beach offering a very good standard of accommodation for reasonable prices. You will almost always get air conditioning and hot and cold water in the Jimbaran Hotels and Resorts as well as hot water in the luxury bathrooms and satellite television with other luxury facilities and a great combination of the classic Balinese architecture and design concepts.
The predominant style of villas and resorts in the Jimbaran Hotels and Resorts bear a great resemblance to traditional Balinese ideas and concepts although there is always a very modern sheik element to them as well which integrates infinity edge pools and other modern luxury living concepts. The result is the utmost in Bali's infamous mod-ethnic style which is extremely effective in the beachfront context. One of the other main features that Jimbaran is renowned for is the sunset seafood barbeque serving fresh seafood on the beach at restaurant tables on the sand. This is a must do meal and is for sure one of the most memorable culinary experiences that Bali has to offer. All of the seafood is barbequed over coconut husks and is cooked in a Balinese sauce as well as being served with Asian greens, rice and other dishes. The seafood readily available includes many of the large white fish such as snapper, and barracuda, tuna and barramundi as well as preacher fish, unreal squid that will convert anyone into a squid lover, prawns and shrimp that are fresh and can be as big as the lobsters as well as muscles and other shell fish.
