About Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay
- The resort contains more than 300 Hindu shrines integrated into its grounds, including at least one that dates to the 15th century — predating the resort by roughly 500 years and making the property one of the few luxury hotels in Asia built around a functioning ancient sacred landscape.
- Forbes Travel Guide has awarded the resort its Five-Star rating for more than ten consecutive years, a benchmark matched by very few properties in Southeast Asia.
- The original village design — thatched-roof villas terraced on a hillside, each with a private plunge pool overlooking the bay — set the template for the 'Balinese village resort' typology that defined the region's luxury architecture for the following two decades.
- The 156-villa property underwent a complete renovation in 2016–2017, including the introduction of Premier, Royal, and Imperial Villas, while retaining the original Kerry Hill Architects village layout — an unusually conservative approach to a major refresh that preserved the 1993 spatial logic.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 2,691 sq ft (250 m²).

The setting
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay cascades across fourteen hectares of hilly headland on Jalan Bukit Permai down to three miles of Jimbaran Bay's gold-sand beach — a calm, west-facing crescent sheltered for swimming and sailing. Jimbaran Beach is eight minutes on foot, connecting to the village's sunset seafood warungs where fresh-grilled fish is served at the water's edge each evening. The traditional fish market preserves Jimbaran's identity as Bali's most storied fishing community. Ngurah Rai International Airport is fifteen minutes north, and Raffles Bali is 236 metres away, cementing this headland as one of the island's most prestigious beachfront enclaves. 6 km from GWK Cultural Park. 14 km from ancient Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple.
