This resort takes up a good chunk of real estate next to Jimbaran’s beach, and offers lots of comfy seating right on the sand. You’ll want to go on easy adventure to the nearby beaches, but the Intercontinental also works hard to make sure you have lots to do right where you are. The accommodations here are beautifully decorated and have a distinct Balinese aesthetic.

Intercontinental Bali puts you within easy reach of Jimbaran’s best attractions: Its restaurants. Visit a few of the popular seaside cafes — you’ll know which ones to try based on the number of locals. While you’re there, you’ll want to have a few meals at seaside restaurants where chefs grill fresh fish, alongside classic, spicy Indonesian sides. Other tours stop at several restaurants, on a tour that comprises a 12-course meal. See more of the ocean on a boating tour of the coast, where you’ll get to admire the sun set over the impressive cliffs.

The resort has its own seafood restaurant, as well as an Italian and a Japanese option. Have a tropical cocktail right on the sand at the resort’s tasty bar and grill. All of the accommodations come with breakfast included, and you can choose from several on-site options for your first meal of the day.

You’ll want to spend plenty of time at the resort’s enormous pool area, which features several options besides the large main pool. There’s also Balinese bath pool that pays homage to traditional Balinese architecture, two children’s pools that come with their own fountains, and a bigger fountain pool for grown-ups. The fitness center is open 24/7. It has its own whirlpool, steam room, and sauna, as well as professional treatments from trained masseurs.

There are spacious meeting rooms and conference rooms, as well as a beautifully landscaped outdoor event space. All of these spaces come with up-to-date audio-visual equipment. But it’s not all business — there are also lots of services just for honeymooners.

The accommodations have you covered as far as technology – there is Wi-Fi throughout the resort, and rooms come with laptop-sized safety deposit box.
