About Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel, Bali
- Jimbaran Puri is the only resort on Jimbaran Bay to operate its own vessel: the Dedari ('Sea Angel'), launched in 2015, takes guests out for private sunset cruises and snorkelling excursions on a bay otherwise dominated by traditional fishing jukung outriggers.
- The property contains two functioning Balinese Hindu temples, with ceremonies conducted on-site; cili dolls of woven straw are placed in guest rooms at turndown as part of daily ritual observance — a practice drawn from genuine Balinese tradition rather than décor.
- The hotel began as nine simple beach cottages built by a local Balinese family in the mid-1980s, making it one of the earliest purpose-built luxury-hotel plots on Jimbaran Bay, predating the major international-brand arrivals by nearly a decade.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 1,076 sq ft (100 m²).
History
The resort traces its origins to the mid-1980s when a local Balinese family purchased beachfront land on Jimbaran Bay and built nine simple cottages. A French management company expanded the property; Belmond (then Orient-Express Hotels) assumed control in 2006, expanding into pool villas and upgrading the rooms. The property operates as a series of Balinese stone-walled compounds with teak, marble, and alang-alang grass thatch. Balinese cultural traditions are maintained throughout — from ceremonies at the hotel's two temples to cili dolls of woven straw placed at turndown. In 2015 the hotel launched its own boat, Dedari ('Sea Angel'), the only vessel on Jimbaran Bay operated by a hotel.
The setting
Jimbaran Puri, A Belmond Hotel, Bali occupies the wide white-sand beach of Jimbaran Bay, the gentle west-facing crescent on Bali's southwestern coast where Indian Ocean sunsets unfold freely. Jimbaran retains its fishing-village identity — traditional jukung outriggers rest near the Kedonganan fish market — while the bay's southern half hosts the island's finest luxury resorts. Ngurah Rai International Airport is fifteen minutes north, making Jimbaran the closest world-class beachfront to island arrivals. The bay's calm, reef-sheltered waters and legendary sunset seafood warungs have drawn international luxury brands here for decades. 6 km from Hindu sculptures at Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.
