Four Seasons Resort Bali At Jimbaran Bay

The Four Seasons has a superb array of eateries, from succulent seafood barbecues at Sundara (although the sunset views are enough to lure you there), interactive Asian dining, and locally-inspired seafood sourced from Jimbaran's famous markets. At the Telu bar, choose from a selection of sustainably-created cocktails to toast a day well spent. When you're not exploring, enjoy the spa where you'll enjoy your pick of massages and rituals, before relaxing in the Longevity Garden.

All villas are equipped with large, cloud-soft beds, and are adorned with Balinese antiques for a timeless style. All have their own pool and bale but range in size, from space for two to the enormous four-bedroom Residence Villa, which has a large pool and sun terraces, an open-air living area and a fully-equipped kitchen. The bathrooms are serene and spa-like with a huge soaking tub, indoor / outdoor showers and fluffy bathrobes. The largest villas also have a personal attendant who will see to every detail.

To your left and right, the beach stretches for miles; enjoy strolls along the sand or take to the water for a spot of swimming and snorkelling. If you prefer to remain atop the waves, try one of the kayaking or catamaran experiences, or even a private fishing trip. Inland, explore the rice paddies by bicycle or soar overhead in a helicopter. For something a tad more lowkey, the resort offers on-site architecture, art and garden tours.
