Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel, Bali
Belmond's Jimbaran Puri is one of the most laid back yet stylish retreats on Bali's coastline, and with just 57 suites and villas one of the more exclusive places to stay. Located on the soft and sheltered sands of Jimbaran Bay, it's a place to stay for a sense of Bali as it once was.
Cottages and villas offer Balinese-style living spaces with wonderful beach and garden views, as well as private pools in some cases. Savour Mediterranean fare at Nelayan Restaurant using seasonal ingredients, or the exotic tastes of Indonesia at Tunjung, followed by a tipple or two at Puri Bar. Feel rejuvenated with Ayurvedic treatments in The Beach Spa, board a cruise to Uluwatu Temple, visit a fish market followed by a cookery class, try watersports or practise Yoga and Tai Chi on the lawns.
