Your Guide to Renting a villa in Bali, Indonesia
The best things to do in and around Jimbaran - chosen for you
Visit Uluwatu Temple
An absolute must see! Uluwatu Temple
is perched on a steep cliff 70 meters above the
waves below.
During the day, there is a stunning fire show and
dance that proves very popular. Things can get busy
so come early if you can. The temple is open from
8am to 6pm daily.
Beware of the monkeys though. While
they may look cute, they will make off with hats,
sunglasses, bags, food – almost anything if you give
them the chance.
Have your valuables hidden away and hold on tight to
your belongings or the last you see of your new
camera may be a monkey bounding off with it. Also
please remember to wear appropriate clothing.
Sunset at Rock Bar
Rock bar in Jimbaran Is famous as the best place to
watch the sun go down in Bali. Perched on a cliff
top above the beach views take in the whole sweep of
the five-kilometre bay. Find your way to Rock Bar
through the AYANA Resort and Spa funicular. While
shorts and flip flops are the usual Bali dress code
it is a little different at the Rock Bar. There is a
strict dress code – no shirts or shoes then no entry
unfortunately. But most people use this as an excuse
to dress to impress and the crowd here is
distinctly stylish.
If you want to be sure of a seat
though, you better come early. The
Rock Bar opens from 4pm and there are often queues
building ahead of sunset. But if you can't get in,
don't worry, you can still see the sunset from the
nearby pier.
Explore Garuda Wisnu Kencana
The locals call it GWK, a culture park spread out
across more than 250 hectares of land just outside
of the centre of Jimbaran.
There are a number of stages where local
cultural shows are held throughout
the year – if you get the chance, do take one in to
see some authentic Balinese culture.
The main feature of the park, however, is the giant
statue of the Hindu god Vishnu on
top of the impressive Indonesian Garuda bird.
Discover Hidden Beach
As the name suggests Hidden Beach is tucked away and can be hard to locate. But make the effort as this very pretty kilometer stretch of stand, backed by limestone cliffs, is well worth the effort. Close to Kutuh Village, you'll see several stone arches with Hindu Statues carved into them on your way down to the beach. Once you do find Hidden Beach, you'll also find there is plenty to do when you get there. There is a host of water sports on offer and some great beachside cafes.
Surfing at …. take your pick
A short distance from Jimbaran, Padang Padang
beach is a mecca for surfers and
thrill-seekers. This is definitely a step up from
the quiet waters of Jimbaran Bay so not for
beginners. But, you could always go to watch some of
the impressive surfers catching the waves even if
you aren't yet up to taking to the water here.
Other great locations within easy reach of Jimbaran
include Suluban Beach, one of the most beautiful
beaches on Bali. Wedged between limestone rocks, it
is a bit tricky to get to and can only be accessed
by steep steps but is worth the effort.
Pura Ulu Siwi
Another magical temple that should
be on your must-see list. The temple has a stunning
mountain backdrop and is a cool spot to avoid the
sometimes-sweltering Bali heat.
While most temples face to the south, Pura Ulun Siwi
actually faces east and is a beautiful location to
watch the sun rise. Mornings are best to visit, and
a trip here can be combined with the nearby Jimbaran
market.
Again, watch out for the monkeys here. They aren't
afraid of humans and will make off with your
belongings given a chance.
Indulge in a spa treatment
You simply can't visit Bali and not indulge in at
least one of the famous Balinese spa treatments.
You are spoilt for choice when it comes to options
with all the major resorts offering excellent spa
options as well as a host of independent spa
centres. If you want to try a high-end independent,
then Bamboo Spa comes very highly
recommended.
Create your own personal scent
L'Atelier Parfums et Creations gives you the opportunity to create your very own perfume. Working with an expert teacher you will learn how to blend the essential oils together to create your very own scent. It's not just for grown ups as there is a kid's workshop where youngsters can create their own aromatic concoctions. Why not create a scent to remind you of this magical spot in Bali when you get home.
Restaurants in Jimbaran - where shall I dine today?
Head to the beach. Jimbaran is rightly famous as one
of the best places to eat seafood in Bali.
You will be spoilt for choice and can easily try a
different local restaurant each night of your stay
if you wish.
You will find the more expensive restaurants at the
North end of the beach with more casual and
easier-on-the-wallet options at the South
end. If you want a prime table on the
beach,
then book ahead, particularly if it is in high
season.
Shopping in Jimbaran
There are two great markets in
Jimbaran that are well worth a visit.
The Jimbaran traditional market is packed with local
vendors selling crafts, street food and fresh
products. This is where the locals come to stock up
on a daily basis.
Jimbaran Kedonganan seafood market
is the place to go early in the morning to see the
fishermen returning and unloading that day's catch
for sale. It's a great place to get a traditional
breakfast and watch the daily ritual of traditional
Balinese life.
Sereh Gourmet Supermarket is a
great spot for quality products including cheeses,
smoked meats and wines. They also have a quality
selection of upscale swimwear and souvenirs as well.
They will also deliver your food to your villa and
take you home with it as well if you ask.Why not put
together a picnic for lunch?
Samasta Lifestyle Village is another worth-a-visit
shopping option. This complex is filled with places
to pick up gifts and souvenirs of your stay and
there are also nail bars, snack bars, ice cream
parlours and much more. You could pick up a souvenir
to remind you of your trip until you can return to
this special Balinese spot.
