18 Delightful Things to Do in Jimbaran

Nestling in the South of Kuta in Bali, Jimbaran is a fishing village with a line of fine restaurants, local eateries, cafes, beaches, holy temples, and of course, its famously fresh seafood grills. Bali Villas R Us has assembled around 18 highlights and things to do to get your exciting Jimbaran journey started, in the following.

#1 Tegal Wangi Beach

With the gorgeous seascapes in Tegal Wangi, we understood why wedding photographers love using the dramatic scene of the beach as a romantic backdrop for couples. The exotic beauty features white sand and a magnificent view of the Indian. It makes a perfect spot to admire the sunset.

#2 Jimbaran Beach

With the scenic beach panorama, Jimbaran Beach offers an ideal sunset view and a place to play with the beautiful white sand or just sit to feel the beach breeze flying your hair. There are numerous hotels on the coastline, local art shops, mini stalls selling miscellaneous stuff, and seafood grill restaurants or often familiarly called cafés in Jimbaran Beach. One of the best things to do in Jimbaran Beach is to enjoy the warm sun accompanied by fresh seafood delicacies. Seafood is just top-notch when it is savored right at the beach itself, isn’t it?

#3 Honeymoon Beach

It’s a hideaway in Bali, a gem not much explored by others. An incomparable beauty, that is quite close to the Tegal Wangi Beach that you will instantly agree on as soon as you see it yourself. The trickiest part about the beach is the access. The beach is within 500 meters before reaching Tegal Wangi Beach. You need to locate the way to Honeymoon Beach as you are passing on the paving path. Find a rocky path downhill and follow through it until you can finally witness the sea exotism and hills full of greenery and cacti.

If you’d like to get closer to the white-sand shoreline, you need to go north and explore the dense shrubs, trees, and sharp black corals everywhere. Since there are no tourist facilities, you should be very careful when venturing to this place.

#4 Muaya Beach

It adds up to one of the gems of Jimbaran, taking around 25 minutes from the Ngurah Rai Airport. Muaya Beach is located at the southernmost coastline. The areas are properly facilitated with spacious parking spots. You can come for a visit by car, motorbike, or even a bus.

There’s an array of hotels along the shoreline featuring the pristine white sand. The tides are high and challenging, making surfers jump in excitement on their surfing boards. On the other hand, cafés satisfy the belly of hungry visitors who patiently wait for their food to be served while cherishing the serene blue ocean view before their eyes, some tourists lying on their back letting their bodies soaked up the warmth of the sun to get the exotic dark skin they love. There are just many things to do in Jimbaran Muaya Beach.

#5 Warung Nasi Ayam Bu Oki

If you are visiting Jimbaran and can handle spices, Warung Nasi Ayam Bu Oki is an absolute try. This authentic delicacy is well known for its only one menu item, Nasi Campur Ayam, yet it’s loaded with deliciousness and homemade local cuisine made with love by the Balinese cook. It is yummy as it is, if you get some crackers, it will be a great addition as well. For one portion, it only costs you IDR25.000 or you can order takeaway for a cheaper price.

#6 Balique

This classic eatery brought back the past mood into the hectic modern world. The antique decorations and interior are pleasing to the eyes and somehow feel like home. The high ceiling and whirring fan, the amazing collection of wine, and the mouth-watering menu are elevated to fit the first-class charm. It’s a perfect getaway to arrange a romantic rendezvous and a party in the fishing village of Jimbaran.

#7 Warung Mami Ikan Bakar

This humble eating house belongs to Pak Putu and has lived since forever. From anywhere you look, you won’t see anything fancy, but it’s the talk of the town. This local seafood eatery is more than meets the eye. They serve a hearty, affordable menu, committed to providing only the freshest ingredients and processing them in their traditional grilling method. To complement their tasty barbeque, you can order plecing kangkung (spinach mixed with homemade tomato spices), fried garlic, pickled cucumber, and three kinds of sambal: sambal kecap (soy sambal), sambal matah (raw onion sambal), and sambal terasi (shrimp paste sambal).

#8 HATIKU Jimbaran

The modern beachfront restaurant is nestled in the stunning Muaya Beach. They are specialized in grilled seafood menu with diverse choices of sauces and flavours that you can choose from padang sauce to garlic butter, and many more.

Or simply pick the fine dining scene to stay clean and cozy.

#9 Monumen Taman Mumbul

It’s a historical attraction of Jimbaran Bay that was found to honour the deeds of our great Balinese warriors during the Dutch invasion. Among them is Lieutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai, his name is forever missed and praised and becomes a street name in Bali.

#10 Pura Ulun Siwi Kayangan Jagat

We can trace the background of Ulun Siwi Temple back up to the early 11th century,. Founded by Mpu Kutura, the holy temple exudes beauty and is also rich in history. People believe that there’s a specific day people cannot enter and do their worshipping to the temple because it’s the day when the Gods and Goddesses come down to earth and do ‘parum’, a holy meeting. Although it’s not open as a public attraction, you can visit in proper praying Hindu costumes and commence prayer. The Hindu devotees pray for protection, recovery from a long illness, and life blessing. Unlike other parts of Jimbaran that are typically hot, the temple is located high and thus, cooler.

#11 Jimbaran Hill Paintball

It is a fun outdoor strategic game that you can play with your family. There are two teams that will engage in the game. The role is quite simple, one team will do the defend, and the other one will be the attacker. Each member will receive a gun containing paintballs to attack the enemy, and safety gear such as headcover, uniform, and masks. The game lasts for 20 minutes with a 5-minute break. Afterward, the teams switch roles.

For 15 to 30 minutes, you can have adventurous scenic moments riding a camel around Kelan Beach. Don’t worry, a guide will standby as long as you need it to ensure your comfort and safety. The camel, the beach, and you being all dressed-up are a stunning combination of instaworthy pics for your Instagram feed.
