Keraton Jimbaran Resort & Spa

Situated right next to Jimbaran's popular sands, this laid-back resort is in a prime spot on Bali's bustling southern coast. It's far enough from central Kuta to avoid its worst excesses but close enough to be convenient for all the facilities. 

The rooms aren't huge but they are bright and pleasantly decorated. There are nicely maintained gardens that lead straight onto the beach and a poolside terrace where you can relax with a cold drink and watch the sun go down.
