Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

My friend and I spent an unbelievable week at the beach resort by four seasons in Bali and the experience was just incredible my friend who is very very very picky for massages said his massage was Widia was the best massage he’s ever had in his WHOLE entire life and he is a massage expert so I would definitely recommend a massage with Widia during your stay, of course the beach and all the private pools and just everything about the resort the whole staff is so friendly and amazing. Always thinking of clever ways to make your stay more enjoyable and relaxing. Just an incredible experience.

Four Seasons Jimbaran is classic, tried and true, luxury. The resort may not be the newest in Bali, but that’s okay because time has allowed this resort to mature beautifully. The grounds are magical and the premium ocean villa is an oasis that can’t be described. Everyone on staff is genuine, friendly, cordial, and endeavors to meet every need. Special thanks to Agnes, Agus, and Yudi for making sure that our stay was such that we left with positive feelings and memories of a lifetime.

The style of this hotel is old Bali, beautifully done. The villas have plunge pools and are surrounded by traditional carved statues, arranged in old-bali-village style. We have visited this hotel many times and cannot get over the wonderful, smooth service from dedicated staff and relatively recent hotel improvements--especially in food and beverage categories. The restaurants are spectacular, especially JALA for true Balinese cooking and Sundara for a modern approach with creative cocktails--and the enormous, multicultural breakfast buffet; also the massage staff and beautiful spa are hard to beat. There are flashier places that are much harder to reach but for a beautiful, peaceful and rejuvenating retreat, don't miss the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay!

The five days we spent were magical. The villa, the view and everything about the resort just was so relaxing. The staff were friendly and took care of all our needs. I really could not imagine a better experience for a holiday.

Four Seasons Jimbaran is such a special and unique property. We stayed at the three bedroom residence for 8 nights and I want to thank Nic (Nicolas), the resort manager, and the rest of the team for their hospitality. We made wonderful memories and are looking forward to returning.  I also would like to thank the following members of staff for going above and beyond to make our stay memorable and for being such amazing hosts: Bana: Bana was the best butler we could ever ask for and the biggest part to why we had an absolutely wonderful stay. He was professional, friendly, proactive and also respected our privacy. He went above and beyond to fulfil all of our requests, and I am always amazed by how quickly he responded to our messages 24/7. He was all round amazing but several things that really touched us includes him waiting in the rain with umbrellas for us when we took a cab out, checking if we still wanted to watch one of the in-house performances when I only briefly mentioned my interest with another member of staff, and always accompanying us to whichever place we’re going (driving us in and out of the resort) to and only leaving when he knew that we were being taken care of. He also always had our preferred tea at the ready every morning and would always check if we needed anything like laundry, pressing, food or drinks.  Budi: we had some issues at the beginning of our stay, and I want to thank Budi, the residence manager, for coming to the rescue. He very swiftly replied to my email even though it was near midnight and made sure that all our concerns were addressed the following morning.  Ade: we would like to thank Ade, the assistant residence manager, for checking in on us periodically during our stay. I spoke to him about having a few mosquito bites, and he immediately procured some hydrocortisone acetate cream (a new and unused tube) and even asked if I wanted to see a doctor. I loved learning about Balinese culture as well as the thoughts that went into the designing of the resort from Ade. Like Budi, Ade emanates warmth and he always made sure that we were very well looked after.  Atik: huge thank you to Atik for hosting all the amazing cultural activities like the shrine tour, sculpture tour, the garden and beehive tour and Balinese dance class (we absolutely sucked big time but Atik was patient as a saint). Atik is an incredibly kind, caring and a very warm person to be around. She shared a lot of wonderful and profound insight to the history, culture, mythology and traditions of the Hindu-Balinese people, and it was a great pleasure to learn from her.  I also want to specially thank Atik for arranging the fire blessing, which is normally only available on Fridays, for us. I asked her about it during a tour before breakfast and was informed not long after sitting down that everything had been arranged and that we could do it the same afternoon.  The priest: it was a huge pleasure to meet the priest during the fire and ocean blessing. He seemed to just know what bothered each of us and provided us with some very valuable advice. Chef Art: big thank you to Chef Art for checking on us periodically and always offering to make us off-menu dishes (he was very thoughtful and was worried about us getting tired of having the same thing every day).  Pande: there was a seating issue when we dined at Sundara and Pande, the restaurant director, immediately made sure that it was rectified. He was very attentive and offered to move us as soon as the table in question was made available. Nova: Nova is one of the best waiters I’ve ever came across, and that’s saying a lot, as I’ve stayed at five-star hotels in over 50 countries. The breakfast restaurant did not initially have the tea that I wanted on our first day of our stay but Nova made sure that they’d have it in stock from the second day onwards. He would always check on us and always asked if we wanted a new pot of tea, saying that our tea had perhaps gone cold. Chef Surya: We’ve had cooking courses when we stayed at other FS resorts, but the class here is head and shoulders above the rest.  Chef Surya is professional, friendly, enthusiastic, and shared in-depth knowledge about Balinese cuisine and Balinese culture.  He gave the most detailed explanations during our class, shared his wealth of knowledge like how to check if a fish is fresh by checking its eyes and gills, and always asked if there was something else we wanted to know. I really liked that the team allowed us to do the cooking, but was also always there if we needed help. Kariana: Having booked the chakra yoga class the penultimate day out of curiosity, I was absolutely blown away by Kariana’s knowledge and expertise. I’ve tried quite a few yoga classes here and there (namely at other FS and Aman properties) and nothing comes even remotely close to Kariana’s classes. I’m glad that I was able to arrange a second yoga class before leaving, and I’m deeply grateful for Kariana’s help.  Milos at the hair spa: big thank you to Milos for washing and styling our hair during our stay. Milos is such an awesome hair artist- he’s extremely skilled and very meticulous with his work. Spa team: Big thank you to Chelsea, Citra, and April as well as the rest of the spa team. I was mostly there either for a blow dry or for a yoga class, but everyone made me feel very welcomed.  Last but not least, I want to thank Nic again for leading such a remarkable team and for meticulously arranging the numerous birthday celebrations and for the big surprise (it was a passing detail that I very briefly mentioned when we spoke). Not being a big birthday person, I didn’t expect anything coming to the hotel (as usually big celebrations like these require prior-arrangement from our side), so I must say I’m both thoroughly and pleasantly surprised and very moved.
