Also in AFAR.
The traditional bale-style villas are tucked away into the foliage, and separated by weathered stone walls, ensuring a discreet low profile and untouchable privacy.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Jimbaran Bay curves along a quiet crescent of sand where traditional wooden fishing boats anchor and beachside warungs grill dinner.
The rooms
Carved wooden doors open to walled courtyards with open-air living pavilions, deep soaking tubs, and private plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The 57-meter infinity pool stretches along the beachfront, and a freeform pool sits higher up among the hillside trees.
The spa
Open-air treatment balés overlook the water, and the spa garden adds volcanic mud wraps, ice plunges, and sound healing.
Bar
TELU
This open-air bar serves zero-waste cocktails and infused local arak, with mixology masterclasses taught behind the counter.
The villas here sit terraced along the hillside overlooking Jimbaran Bay. Each has its own small garden, terrace, plunge pool and covered outdoor lounge area.
At the table
Taman Wantilan serves breakfast from live cooking stations, and Sundara cooks wood-fired seafood directly along the beach.
How it began
