Jimbaran Puri Bali – Review

Awesome, unique, stupendous, opulent – it is really hard not to let this review descend into just a procession of superlatives. In truth Jimbaran Puri Bali is all of these things and much, much more. With its unsurpassed tropical beauty, fantastic location next to the beautiful Jimbaran Beach and amazing attention to detail Jimbaran Puri Bali is, in our opinion, unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Our senses were severely assaulted by the sheer beauty of the resort as we emerged from the hustle and bustle of the Balinese landscape. The close proximity of the sea, the huge lily pond and the impressive swimming pool made this a truly breathtaking moment. From the second we arrived to the time we reluctantly said our goodbyes we were treated like royalty. Nothing was too much trouble with our every need being catered for with patience, sincerity and a huge Balinese smile.

As we explored the immaculately tended grounds we were in awe of the breathtaking seclusion and sophistication afforded by what seemed to be an utter haven of tranquillity. Throughout the resort there are perfectly manicured grassed areas, beautifully lit lily ponds and lush tropical flora and fauna, interspersed with amazing Balinese stone temples.

Brief check-in formalities were completed at the exclusive villa butler area and we were then escorted to our deluxe pool villa. The sheer size and quality of this traditional Balinese long house accommodation was awe inspiring. As we entered our private gate we emerged into a huge tropical garden with its own gazebo, dining table and chairs, 2 sun loungers on a decked area and, best of all, our private large infinity swimming pool complete with two cascading waterfalls. Unimaginable bliss! The inside accommodation was even more impressive, if indeed that could be possible. Our first impression was that it was a fusion of tribal Balinese artefacts and art coupled with ultra modernistic amenities. This was a showcase of contemporary modern styling featuring a separate lounge area with flat screen TV, a large Balinese sofa and easy chair. Adjacent to this was an office area with outstanding WiFi connection and Bose docking stereo system, a dining table and drinks cabinet. Next to this was the bedroom area with a huge canopied bed with all the electronic controls of the villa, a second plasma TV and DVD player and mini-bar. In our opinion the piéce de résistance was the bathroom, featuring a black marble tiled sunken bath, two spacious vanity units with his and her washbasins and an inside and outside rain shower with luxury Jamu toiletries. To enhance our welcome we were presented with gifts of a sarong, polo shirt, chilled wine and exotic fruits and, if this was not enough, a complimentary 20 minute jet lag back massage at the serene beachside spa.

The resort has everything that anyone could ever wish for including two exquisite restaurants, providing sumptuous Balinese, Indonesian and French Mediterranean cuisine, a romantic beachside spa and best of all the most pristine beach just a step away from your accommodation. We enjoyed an amazingly varied buffet breakfast on the edge of the beach and in the evening ate freshly barbequed red snapper fish whilst enjoying a stunning sunset. This was a hugely romantic experience and despite our 38 years of marriage we felt like a young newly married couple enjoying a fantastic honeymoon.

In addition the resort is perfectly located as a launching point to visit many of the other tourist attractions on the beautiful tropical island of Bali.

Synonymous with glamour, opulence, romance and the very best in personal service, Jimbaran Puri Bali somehow manages to encapsulate all of these things in perfect harmony to provide a unique and unsurpassable holiday destination. We believe this to be one of the best holiday experiences that we have ever had. We simply did not want to leave!
