accommodates both low budget and high-end meal experiences. With its sugary white beach, Jimbaran beach is known for safe swimming.
Most hotels such as Le Meiridien Bali Jimbaran offer an authentic range of seafood. Seafood will be a little more expensive, when it is a fresh catch off the sea. However there are large fish swimming in the restaurant tanks for your choice. It could be any kind you like: mahi mahi, skip jack tuna, mackerel, live crab or Asian lobster. Out of the lot, lobsters claim the highest price, 40,000 rupiah per 100 grams. Crabs rank the second with 30,000 rupiah per 100 grams. You can also opt for a customized cooking, though it will be a little more expensive. If you are short of cash, the best option is to order what is available in the menu. That is much cheaper, but not as brand new as tank fish freshly cooked.
You should not miss touring the big coffee factory, Golden Kirrin Coffee Factory, to sight organic coffee farms. The factory has different varieties of coffee blends. You won't be charged for the tour. This tour lets you have a tasting session too to enjoy Bali's famous coffee blends such as peaberry coffee and coffee luwak. Located close by is a souvenir shop to buy a keepsake.
Jimbaran beach's waves are not as strong as they are in Kuta. Located close to the beach is a number of luxurious resorts. This cluster of resorts is known in Bali as 'Millionaire's Row' because of the high-end rates charged for resorts. As the sunset view is simply breathtaking, beach restaurants get crowded before the sun sets. Stay at a Hotel Jimbaran and walk down there towards sunset.
In this park is a big monument of Jimbaran hill. It exposes you to the magnificent view of Bali island as a whole. The park, made of cliff limestone, is ideal for photographic purposes. Inside the park you come across an amphitheatre, restaurant, temple and a gallery. Walking in the park during the daytime is not advisable as the sunshine is harsh.
Pura Uluwatu, a significant religious place in Bali, is worth a visit especially because of its mesmerizing scenery. You will need to take care of your possessions, as monkeys have infested the place.
Most restaurants give you the chance to watch how they grill seafood. It is carried out on a big open fire with various local seasonings. You need to have a large quantity of water as the seafood is quite spicy.
These are a cheap option with sweetcorns and steam groundnuts available from vendors alongside the beach. It will be a good side dish for your seafood dinner.
This is home to stunning ceramic produces. It could be a memorable purchase you can make in Bali. Ceramic courses are also available.
You can have an idea about the market without having to idle around much. There is a good guarantee about the quality of fruits and vegetables sold in this market.
Located not so far from the airport, this is the ideal place to sit and chill out looking at planes flying above.
