The beautiful Balinese-village style Jimbaran Puri hotel faces the secluded and pristine Jimbaran beach.
Jimbaran Puri – Hidden gem with angled palms across expansive beach frontage.
Fronting a magnificent stretch of powdery-white sand, this resort is designed like a Balinese village with villas and cottages dotted among manicured gardens adorned with traditional statues. The cottages are spacious and old-fashioned (in a good way). The secluded one and two-bedroom pool villas feature adorable Balinese décor and gorgeous wooden decking around a large private pool, while the main pool offers an ideal tropical setting. And the Jimbaran Puri is close to the main road and a short stroll to the renowned beachside cafés specializing in seafood.

- Handy to: Village with temple and market. Cafés on the sand for seafood dinners at sunset.
Jimbaran Puri – The Basics
- Guests: Likes to attract families but nothing is really set up for children. Most guests are couples, often over 40, probably attracted by the seclusion.
- Beach: Long and virtually private, the beach is uncrowded and curved with calm waters and white sand.
- Views: Cottages facing the sea are a little distant and windows undersized, so views are minimal. Others overlook the lawns and pool. Villas are secluded behind walls.
- Private Pools/Jacuzzis: The pool villas feature substantial pools with lovely wooden decking.
- Parking: Some limited free and secure parking is available, but think long and hard before driving anywhere in Bali.
- How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Jimbaran Puri – Local Transport
- Walking & Cycling: With flat roads and less traffic than other regions, walking around Jimbaran is pleasant and often quicker via the beach than the road. Cycling is also easy but few places offer rentals.
- Public Transport & Shuttle Buses: In lieu of any public transport, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Jimbaran with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing. Shuttle bus companies (e.g. Perama) that service Kuta and Sanur don’t bother coming to Jimbaran.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: Taxis ply the main road and are a cheap and comfortable way to reach anywhere in southern Bali. For longer distances, charter a car with a driver. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, nor is hiring a motorbike for traveling around this part of the south. All transport options can be arranged at the hotel.
