On the southern tip of Bali, in the sought-after Uluwatu region, you will find a place of profound peace and exceptional beauty.

A royal welcome

From the moment you arrive, the resort’s design makes a lasting impression. Inspired by the architectural elegance of the Majapahit Empire, the property flows seamlessly from indoor to outdoor spaces. Stone structures, intricate carvings, and tranquil water features are complemented by impeccably kept gardens, transporting you to a refined Balinese haven.

Every one of the 123 villas provides an intimate and secluded experience. Each boasts its own private pool and an open-air pavilion, perfect for enjoying the sunset or the garden's serenity. With options for one or two bedrooms, as well as the magnificent four-bedroom Royal Water Palace, there is a configuration to suit every guest. A dedicated e-butler service ensures every detail of your stay is managed with personal care and attentiveness, blending Balinese hospitality with Jumeirah’s distinguished service.

Refined dining and wellness

The culinary experiences at Jumeirah Bali are as memorable as the setting. Perched atop a cliff, AKASA Restaurant & Bar offers a unique menu shaped by ancient cooking methods, accompanied by a resident DJ and specialist mixologist as the sun goes down. For a more relaxed meal, Segaran Dining Terrace presents exquisite Mediterranean and Asian dishes with a 'farm to table' philosophy, right on the oceanfront.

For complete relaxation, head to the award-winning Talise Spa. It’s home to the only traditional Turkish hammam on the island, offering a unique cleansing ritual. The spa features five private treatment rooms where expert therapists provide holistic facials, healing massages, and therapies based on ancient Balinese techniques and herbal preparations. You can also take part in guided meditation and yoga classes, use the modern fitness centre, or simply relax by one of the infinity pools.

Beyond the resort

While it would be easy to spend your entire holiday within this peaceful retreat, the surrounding area offers much to explore. The famous Uluwatu Temple, a sea temple perched on a cliff edge, is just a short journey away. For a different perspective, consider a private yacht charter to see the coastline from the water or join an invigorating hike through the beautiful natural surroundings. Jumeirah Bali provides the perfect base for exploring the spiritual heart and natural splendour of this remarkable island.

You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizzi, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use the city as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.
