Four Seasons Resort Bali

Experience the island’s cultural attractions or enjoy a day of diving, surfing, golf or trekking. Steep yourself in island traditions, tour villages and explore stunning coastal and mountain landscapes. On the island’s southern coast, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay commands a wide stretch of oceanfront, and the adjacent Jimbaran Beach offers a long tree-lined curve of white sand for swimming and water sports.

The Resort’s location also puts you close to southern Bali’s diverse cultural and historic attractions. Bali is home to approximately three million people. The vast majority of Balinese are Hindu and assume a spiritual approach to life – the island has nearly 20,000 temples.

 

Known for its lush landscapes and relaxed pace, Bali is also famous for its artistic traditions, including dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking and music. Our guests immerse themselves in the local culture by visiting nearby attractions such as the Uluwatu Temple and the early 18th-century Puru Ulun Siwi Temple at Jimbaran’s main village crossroad.

 

Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is nearby, as is Museum Pasifika Art Gallery, which features more than 600 artworks in 11 separate galleries. Turtle Island is where Bali’s green turtle population is being conserved through hatcheries, and the Devdan Treasures of the Archipelago show features a fusion of traditional Indonesian dances from Bali to Borneo.

Note: To enter Indonesia, you will need a passport that remains valid for at least six months after your date of arrival and has a minumum of two blank consecutive pages available when entering. Check with your local Indonesian government representative for visa requirements.

Seasonal highlights

Bali celebrates all Hindu, Islamic, Christian, and national holidays, but since the majority of Balinese follow a special version of Hinduism, the religious highlights of the island are unique. At Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, we abide by many of these religious guidelines.

Galungan is celebrated every 210 days to commemorate the triumph of good over evil, and also to be thankful for prosperity. The holiday lasts for 10 days and includes ritualistic dances and offerings at temples. On the last day of the holiday, known as Kuningan Day, villagers dress in traditional clothes and carry offerings of fruits, flowers, leaves and food on their heads to the temples.

 

Nyepi is celebrated during either March or April, depending on the lunar calendar. Nyepi is the Hindu New Year in Bali and the community conducts its ceremonies a day beforehand to drive out evil spirits. Rituals include firecrackers, drums and traditional music, along with a parade in which symbolic images of evildoers are burned at midnight. On Nyepi Day, no cars are allowed on the roads, and no lights or noise are permitted in the community.
