Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

There are great hotels, there are exceptional hotels, and then there are places that stay with you forever. Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay belongs to that last category. We have been fortunate enough to stay in many luxury hotels around the world, but what we experienced here was something truly special. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt genuinely cared for, appreciated and looked after in a way that is increasingly rare in modern hospitality. The resort itself is stunning. Our villa was beautiful, spacious, immaculately maintained and offered the perfect blend of Balinese character and modern comfort. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. The grounds are magnificent, the atmosphere is peaceful and authentic, and the entire property exudes a sense of timeless elegance. The food was excellent throughout our stay, but Sundara deserves a special mention. The setting is spectacular, the cuisine is outstanding, and the overall experience is simply unforgettable. What truly elevates this resort, however, is its people. A heartfelt thank you to Martini and her entire team. The warmth, professionalism, kindness and attention to detail we received were extraordinary. Every member of the team made us feel valued and welcomed, and it was clear that creating memorable experiences for guests is not just their job—it is part of who they are. We would also like to give special recognition to Yannick and David at Sundara. They are absolute rock stars. Their energy, genuine hospitality, attention and ability to make every guest feel special are remarkable. Guys, It was such a pleasure to meet both of you. You're amazing. We'll see each other very soon—we'll bring some Spanish olive oil 😃 Luxury can be found in many places. Genuine care, heartfelt service and the feeling of being truly looked after are much rarer. This resort delivered all of that in abundance. We arrived with high expectations and left with memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. To Martini, Yannick, David and everyone at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay: thank you. We are deeply grateful for everything you did for us. We will absolutely be back next year, and next time we will stay even longer. Until then, thank you for one of the most beautiful and memorable hotel experiences of our lives.

Four Seasons Jimbaran was truly an exceptional stay from beginning to end. The beautiful resort, peaceful surroundings, and outstanding service made our experience unforgettable. Our villa was always immaculate and perfectly tidy, which made coming back after a day of activities such a pleasure. A special shout-out to Atik, who made our stay even more meaningful. We enjoyed several wonderful activities with her, including learning how to write our names in Balinese on a palm leaf, touring the resort grounds while learning about the beautiful temples and Balinese traditions, and participating in an offering ceremony. Atik was so warm, knowledgeable, and patient, and she did an amazing job sharing the culture with us in such a personal way. The entire Four Seasons team made us feel incredibly welcomed and cared for. It was the perfect combination of luxury, culture, beautiful surroundings, and genuine Balinese hospitality. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend Four Seasons Jimbaran. We can’t wait to return! ❤️🌴✨

My family (couple and 3 sons) just completed 4 days at the Four Seasons in Jimbaran Bay. This was our first stay at a Four Seasons property and the visit exceeded all expectations. From the attention and warmth of the staff, to the luxurious villas, and beautifully maintained property, we could not have been happier with the service. The beach is beautiful, suitable for those who want to wade in the water as well as those interested in boogie boarding and surfing. We liked that the beach had a dynamic energy while the resort felt very serene. Special shout-out to Mario and Yogi at the Sundara pool for their kind hospitality.

17 years later, I come back to Four Seasons Jimbaran. Everything has changed, yet everything remains as good as it was the first time. Four Seasons Jimbaran remains one of the most beautiful Four Seasons properties I have visited. Be sure to stroll through its vast, multi-level gardens, which offer breathtaking views over Jimbaran Bay, both at sunrise and sunset. The bungalows and villas are very pleasant, built in a traditional Balinese style that lends real charm to the property, although they are slightly smaller than today’s standards. The villas at the neighboring Raffles Bali, for example, are more spacious. Ask for a villa in the first row, closest to the beach: they offer better panoramic views of the ocean than the villas further uphill. Four Seasons Jimbaran has expanded its restaurant offering since my last visit. There are now three: Jala, a very good traditional Indonesian restaurant; Sundara, a beachfront lifestyle restaurant; and Taman Wantilan, a culinary marketplace featuring multiple Asian cuisine stations. I would also recommend Rumari at the neighboring Raffles, which is at Michelin-star level, although Michelin does not yet cover Indonesia. Four Seasons Jimbaran can take you there by buggy in five minutes. The spa treatments are as good as those at other luxury resorts, but the setting of the Spa Villa is among the finest I have experienced. The concierge service is also very helpful. Special thanks to Yudis, who helped us craft our excursions. I wanted to revive a magical memory from 25 years ago: a misty afternoon, a Balinese temple lost in the tropical forest, and a traditional ceremony taking place there. I found the temple, still wonderfully preserved and largely untouched by tourist circuits, but unfortunately, the magic was gone. I have now completed my quest to revisit the places of my past in Bali. However, there are still many other marvelous islands to discover in Indonesia, and Bali is often the gateway to them. If any of these places happen to become my future destinations, I will certainly make sure to spend a few days again at Four Seasons Jimbaran — to enjoy, above all, the gentleness of the Balinese people.

I had a hard time picking a beach area hotel for Bali because there are so many wonderful ones. And I am so happy I picked the Four Seasons!! My husband and I were celebrating our 35th anniversary and the hotel and staff went above and beyond to make it the most special ever! I communicated back and forth with the concierge ahead of time for a special dinner on the actual night and we decided to book the Boho Gazebo for a private dinner overlooking the beach. The setting and tablescape were beyond gorgeous (see pics) and the food was delicious. We chose the Seafood Lover’s Delight and feasted, among other things, on caviar, bbq lobster and freshly-caught salt-baked snapper. After, when we got back to our room, we were delighted to find cakes and a beautiful display on our bed with towel swans, rose petals and “Happy 35th Anniversary” in leaves! It was a marvelous celebration! Other things I loved about the hotel - the property is beautiful, serene and tranquil. Despite this being high season, it never felt crowded. There was beauty everywhere - an infinity pool that cascaded down to another pool below, and another fabulous pool and beach at their gorgeous Sundara Beach Club. See pics. Our garden villa (#136) was spacious and well-located for most places we went. We only needed a buggy to get to Sundara and service was prompt. We had two fabulous massages at the Spa. I highly recommend booking! And we absolutely loved our Sulawesi cooking class at Jala with Chef Surya. I cannot wait to go home and make the whole meal, but especially the chicken! We also enjoyed the food at the other restaurants and everyone worked so hard to accommodate my hatred of cilantro. The staff here goes above and beyond. They are so friendly and service is stellar. I wish I could give a million stars! Thank you Four Seasons for the best anniversary ever and for making us feel so special!!!
