Jimbaran Guide
Just beyond the airport, south of Kuta, Jimbaran Bay is home to the most stunning 5-Star resorts in Bali.
That aside, the beach itself is part of the busy fishing village with its local fish market. If it's not too much of a trek, the beach is a wonderful place to eat fresh fish with your feet in the sand. Be warned though, the traffic can get busy during rush hour.
Jimbaran Bay, the upmarket fishing village...
The bay itself a white sand crescent is home to many beach-side fish restaurants & 5-stars. Jimbaran bay was the home of a relatively busy fishing village, Kedonganan which still exists today – Kedonganan market is already bustling by 5am. The bay is also famous for some of the most majestic sunsets in the world. The perfect place to sit with your feet in the sand, enjoy the fresh fish on offer day or night and watch your kiddies play. A perfect spot to enjoy and an early tea, en-famille.

Tiny Tip: If you have a littlie in tow who is keen to toddle off and throw themselves into a pool, then Karma is not the most relaxing place for lunch. Probably best to stick to the baby friendly bay.
