Jimbaran Beach is famous for the most perfect sunsets in all of Asia. Although it’s located right next to some of Bali’s most famed surfing beaches along the Bukit Peninsula just 20 minutes south of the international airport – beaches like Padang Padang and Uluwatu are part of surfing folklore – Jimbaran is perfectly sheltered from any waves. There are over 40 restaurants set along the tranquil shores of this stunning, white sandy beach.
Famed for its seafood, this former quiet fishing village is now home to some of Asia’s finest hotels and resorts - but its initial charm and seclusion hasn’t been completely compromised. Once ignored in favour of other Bali locales, word soon spread amongst travellers of this perfect beach beside a tropical rainforest. Now you can stay under the canopy of the rainforest and spend your days in the calm waters, free from beach vendors and best of all, there’s no motor boats or jet skis. Perfect for the couple who:
Are seeking the ultimate romantic sunset ... in the perfect location.
