Wondering where to stay in Jimbaran Bay? Often seen as just a luxury resort hub, Jimbaran is full of local charm — from traditional Balinese ceremonies and small temples to bustling seafood and produce markets. It’s also a great base for exploring the beautiful beaches of Uluwatu and the Bukit Peninsula. In our accommodation guide, you’ll find the best places to stay in Jimbaran, including our favourite luxury resorts, beachfront hotels, and villas — plus the best areas to stay.

Where To Stay In Jimbaran? Best Locations.
Jimbaran runs along the southern coast of Bali and stretches slightly inland. It’s located about a 20-minute drive south of Ngurah Rai International Airport, depending on traffic.
The closer you can stay to the beach, the better — most of Jimbaran’s charm is found near the coastline and the main road (Jl. Raya Uluwatu).
While some accommodation options inland may still be labeled as Jimbaran, I recommend staying close to the beach and main road for the best experience. This is where you’ll find the top beachfront resorts, seafood restaurants, and the most relaxed atmosphere.
One thing to consider is which section of Jimbaran Beach to stay in. Each area has its own feel and proximity to different attractions:
- South Jimbaran is my personal favourite. It has a beautiful stretch of beach, stunning views of the Bukit Peninsula, and is home to my favourite seafood restaurants on the beach. It’s also close to other great dining options. Although not in the middle of the areas, I would consider this area to be the centre of Jimbaran.
- The middle part of the beach has more of a local feel and is close to the traditional market and some incredible restaurants (like Cuca, one of our favourites). It’s a nice balance between beach access and everyday local life.
- The north end of Jimbaran Beach, known as Kedonganan, is right next to the seafood market and just south of the airport. Although this area still has a lot to offer, it’s a little farther from the main resorts and restaurants and tends to feel less relaxing.
📌 Our Pick: The best areas to stay in Jimbaran are the southern end and middle section of Jimbaran Bay — especially if you want beautiful beaches, easy access to restaurants, and a laid-back atmosphere.

How Many Days Do You Need?
We recommend spending at least 2 – 4 nights in Jimbaran, but you could also easily spend one week here if you wanted to relax, especially if you were staying in one of the luxury resorts.
There’s not a long list of things to do in Jimbaran, so two nights would be just enough to get a taste of the area.
Four nights gives you plenty of time to relax, visit the seafood market, enjoy the beach, explore the traditional market, and savour a seafood dinner on the beach.
It may not have the number of restaurants that are in Seminyak and Canggu, but it still has some delicious eating experiences. One of our favourite places to eat in Jimbaran is Cuca.
Jimbaran Bay is also a good base to experience other areas of Bali. Uluwatu is just next door and is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Bali. If you plan to spend a few days in Uluwatu with Jimbaran as your base, we recommend a one-week stay.
