Best Luxury Hotels in Jimbaran, Bali

Although it is part of the massive AYANA resort, this five-pearl offshoot is a 20-minute walk inland from the namesake facilities. The modern resort offers an array of amenities, including several restaurants, an orchid-filled tea house, and a huge network of outdoor pools and waterfalls. There's also a Balinese village recreated alongside rice paddies where guests can browse vendors and partake in nightly performance dinners. Travelers looking for seclusion and luxurious rooms with private balconies will find both here. Guests who prefer to be near the ocean should compare rates with the main AYANA Resort and Spa.

One of the top luxury hotels in Jimbaran Beach, this 64-room resort has a rare oceanfront location, a high level of privacy, and a laid-back tropical ambience. All of the rooms are enormous cottages or villas (starting at 120 square meters, or nearly 1,300 square feet) with patios or private pools, though the tradeoff for the privacy afforded is that the majority lack ocean views. Other major features: A large, chic pool with a poolside bar that faces the ocean (and sunsets), two on-site restaurants (one with the  extensive breakfast buffet that's usually included in the room rate), 24-hour room service, and lush grounds, with a temple, statues, and lots of native greenery.

Le Meridien Bali Jimbaran is a five-pearl luxury hotel with 118 rooms and suites, all of which have large balconies and some that feature direct access to the hotel's star attraction: an enormous saltwater lagoon pool. Le Meridien does not have a private beach, but instead offers access to a luxury beach club on a nearby stretch of sand, though guests are expected to spend a minimum amount in order to use the sunbeds. The hotel include a fitness center, a luxury spa, and a wide range of bars and restaurants with international cuisine.

Just off a busy Jimbaran street but set far enough away to be private, this intimate property has 13 spacious villas. Many units come with outdoor bathtubs, canopy beds, and direct pool access or hot tubs. A private beach club is a five-minute walk, or free shuttle ride, away. There's also a full-service spa on-site with a small gym and room service is available, adding to the romantic vibe of the property. Families should look elsewhere as children under 16 are not allowed. 

This hillside resort property near Jimbaran Beach consists of 21 separate villas, each with its own pool, kitchen, furnished balcony, large living area, and at least two bathrooms. There is a full-service spa/salon on-site as well as a gym and a restaurant overlooking the lagoon pool. Though the upscale property is not on the beach, guests have full privileges at the Jimbaran Beach Club, and a free shuttle to get there.

Alindra Villa is a 12-room upscale resort that's a 10-minute drive from the beach. Lodging varies widely here, ranging from traditional hut-like units to expansive villas with private pools that feel like luxury homes. Features include a restaurant with free breakfast, a spa with Balinese and international treatments, and a beautiful outdoor pool. The hotel's inland location might be a deal-breaker for some; those travelers may want to compare rates with the beachfront Kupu Kupu Jimbaran-Rooftop Suites & Spa.
