A day in the sun
From sunrise to sunset, Intercontinental Bali Resort is the perfect place to be for an enjoyable stay by the sea.
There is a certain je ne sais quoi about Jimbaran Bay. Perhaps, it has something to do with its cheery curve made of soft white sand and temperate waves, or maybe it because of the pervading community spirit that belongs to the once sleepy fishing village. Time passes, but the leisurely pace and laidback ambience of beachside living remains. The tranquil vibe is palpable as soon as one steps onto the lush grounds of Intercontinental Bali Resort.
A stay at the sprawling resort is to experience the harmonious marriage between luxury and tradition. One can start the day with a sun salutation by the beach, inhaling the fresh morning air. Led by an experienced teacher, a morning yoga session overlooking the sparkling blue water of the bay will put one in a blissful mode for the rest of the day. Follow up with a special floating breakfast in the turquoise pool accompanied by the stone water nymphs. Sip a cup of black coffee, nibble on a freshly baked croissant with jam, and end with a nutritious muesli and fruit bowl.
A siesta is a tempting option after spending half the day under the sun. The recently redesigned Jimbaran Deluxe
Room is an excellent option to relax and unwind. The balcony commands a view of the garden, while the rest of the interior showcases the beauty of Bali through its art and furnishings. Another perk is the presence of Equil Natural Mineral Water in the room, an extra touch to ensure that guests stay hydrated to complete their activities during their stay. Sourced from a protected spring on the slope of Mount Salak, it is pure natural mineral water with no added treatment.
After a rejuvenating nap, it’s time to enjoy a stunning sunset at the Sunset Beach Bar & Grill. Walk along the beach and enjoy the barefoot experience. Let the golden splendour of Jimbaran Bay work it magic, sit back and relax as the sun slowly sets while sipping a pretty cocktail that aptly called Sunset in Paradise. Pair the refreshing coconut liquor, Blue Curaçao, pineapple and orange juice concoction with tasty bites, such as the fiery Gambas Al Ajillo and tasty BBQ Chicken Wing. As the night darkens, twinkles of light from across the bay will start to light up, a gentle reminder that the night is young and filled with resplendent possibilities.
