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.

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.
