Each of the 41 individual luxury cottages at the Jimbaran Puri Bali Resort have their own private and secluded walled garden, set by the soft white sands of Jimbaran Bay. The accommodation is spacious with high ceilings and open-beamed thatched roofs and exude traditional Balinese style. Cottage bathrooms have a free-form sunken marble bathtub with both hand-held and fixed rain showers.

Within the landscaped grounds are three fountains that send water cascading into the spectacular, horizon-edged swimming pool below. The beach is just a few steps away where guests can either relax or enjoy a choice of watersports, such as kayaking, scuba diving and windsurfing. Other activities could include Yoga or Tai Chi classes.

American buffet breakfasts, lunches next to the beach and romantic candlelit dinners contribute to the experience at this charming boutique hotel.
