The Four Seasons Jimbaran Hotel in Bali, Indonesia
Four Seasons Jimbaran is an exclusive 5 star resort with 147 villas clustered into seven villages down the hillside amidst hewn stone paths and luxuriant gardens to Jimbaran Bay, Bali's tropical beauty. At your gate, the village chief greets your arrival with quiet dignity, and thereafter takes responsibility for your comfort. Physical diversity and ancient culture await those ready for exploration.

Four Seasons Jimbaran at Jimbaran Bay is located on the southern tip of the island of Bali on the northeast slopes of the Bukit Peninsula. Luxuriously appointed private villas built into a gently terraced hillside named Bukit Permai that literally means "beautiful hill", Four Seasons Jimbaran has spectacular views of Bali's sacred Mount Agung.

Welcoming in the light and scent of the tropics, every villa has separate pavilions for sleeping, living and bathing, a private plunge pool and a secluded garden shower. The two palatial Royal Villas offer the luxury of a personal swimming pool, in addition to a cool plunge pools, Jacuzzi and sauna. Everywhere, the unspoken message is one of privacy and peace.

Four Seasons Jimbaran is only a 15-minute drive from the Ngurah Rai International Airport and ideally situated near the legendary Kuta Beach and the Nusa Dua shopping complex.

The spirit of The Spa at Four Seasons Resort Bali flows from cool ocean waters, natural spices and flowers and the healing effects of human touch – incorporating ancient Indonesian traditions and rituals.

With its infinity-edge, the main pool seems to blend with the beautiful bay beyond. Water from the pool cascades over a 7-metre (23-foot) waterfall into the free-form soaking pool below. Hot and cold whirlpools are located nearby. Refreshments and light meals are available to enjoy on the pool deck.
