Located
on the isthmus south of Ngurah Rai airport
and a continuation of the white sands of
Kuta Beach, Jimbaran bay is one of Bali's
most recently developed resort area. Tranquil
compared to Kuta, it retains much of its
fishing village charm. With its shallow
water and lack of sharp corals, Jimbaran
is ideal for families. The area also remains
free from aggressive vendors.

setting is unbeatable with the tables right
on the water's edge. Choose your fish from
the ice boxes, pick a table and enjoy. This
is definitely a must-do while in Bali.
