Jimbaran Halal Travel Guide

Jimbaran Bay Sunset 2

Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. There is however little in the way of good lodging and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row".

The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.

Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University: Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosophy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari Segara Resort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe.

Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here but it is close to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

This is one of the better areas of South Bali for walking.

What to see in Jimbaran

Jimbaran is a typical little Balinese society with lots of small streets and gangs (alleys) that makes a perfect backdrop for a stroll. Just walking around in Jimbaran is an adventure and the local residents are smiling and welcoming. The road along the beach and Jl Uluwatu make good orientation points. Follow these and take the different small roads that connect them back and forth. Arrive at around 17:00, take a seat in one of the restaurants located on the beach, order food drink, and enjoy the romantic sunset while waiting for your orders. The sunsets in Jimbaran are very beautiful.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Jimbaran

  • The beach | Jimbaran Bay is fringed by one of the best beaches in Bali. The sand is fine and white, and the calm waters make it very suitable for swimming, children and adults alike. The southern end of the beach close to the Four Seasons Resort is the quietest but the whole stretch is very pleasant indeed.

Water activities

  • Surfing and there are a couple of good surf breaks off the airport which are easiest accessed from Jimbaran Bay. It is too far to paddle out, but boats are easily chartered from the beach in the middle areas of the bay or close to the fish market. When the surf is rolling here it is very good but it can be a bit unreliable.
  • Swimming, a great bay for swimming with perhaps the safest waters in the whole of Bali. You will find lots of local children come to beach to swim in the evenings - a sure sign that the waters are safe.

Spas

Jimbaran has a number of high-end spas, both within the luxury hotels and independent establishments.

  • Alam Jimbaran Spa - formerly Aroma Talk Alam Jimbaran - Day spa, traditional Balinese massage, Indian ayurvedic spa, hot stone therapy and hammam herbal therapy.
  • The Body Spa - Spa with two venues in Bali. Full range of beauty and body treatments. Not the cheapest but the standard is high. Booking at least 24 hr in advance is recommended
  • Bliss Massage - Not a spa as such, but a traditional massage parlour. Excellent, traditional Balinese-style therapeutic treatments.
  • Henna Spa - 5 star standard spa providing (Javanese) and Balinese style treatments.

Muslim Friendly Shopping

Shopping in Jimbaran has improved greatly in recent years. There are a number of nice boutiques and antique shops in the stretch of Jalan Uluwatu between The Intercontinental and the junction with Jalan Uluwatu II.

  • Jimbaran Market | Slightly further north of the boutique and antique area is Jimbaran Market. This is a hive of activity every morning as the local community goes about its business and is a notably good place to purchase fresh produce.
  • Jenggala Gallery - Large gallery and retail showroom for Balinese ceramics. Regular exhibitions of paintings and other art by up and coming local artists. Worth a visit, and it's hard to miss the enormous pink limestone clad building. Has an excellent cafe.

Halal Restaurants in Jimbaran

  • Jimbaran fish market - A traditional fish market is located at the northern end of the bay right by the beach at the junction with Jalan Tukad Ayung. The catch comes in every morning here and clients include most of Bali's fine dining restaurants. All manner of fish and shellfish are on available. You can get your purchases grilled elsewhere in the market for a fee.

Seafood Restaurants on Jimbaran Beach

Nuit sur la plage de Jimbaran

Eating seafood on the beach in Jimbaran is a quintcrucial part of many a visitor's itinerary when coming to Bali.

Jimbaran Bay is home to about fifty grilled seafood restaurants in three different groupings, all set along the beach. The three sections are Muaya (in the very south), Kedonganan (in the middle) and Kelan (north of the fish market). Each of the restaurants is much of a muchness and of the groupings and the most southerly, closest to the Four Seasons, is the most popular these days.

Tables are set up right on the sand and if you sit at the lowest tables at high tide, you can even get your feet wet. The sea breeze is cool and the sunsets are beautiful and the whole area is lit by oil torches after dark.

The restaurants serve crucially the same menu with one basic dining format:

  • fire-grilled (bakar) seafood with your own choice of various fish, crab, squid, shrimp, lobster and other shellfish
  • local green vegetables steamed with garlic
  • rice or french fried potatoes
  • local spicy sauces

Simply go up to the seafood tanks and choose the number and type of seafood you want to eat, pay by weight and the produce is grilled there and then.

Other dining options in Jimbaran

There are number of good, affordable local warungs on Jalan Uluwatu between the four road junction (Four Seasons roundabout) and McDonalds.

Jimbaran is very well served by high end resort hotels, and the dining options at the Four Seasons and the Ayana Resort for example are truly exceptional.

  • Depot Joko | A very popular, no frills local restaurant serving all manner of Indonesian food. Recommended if you want a real taste of Indonesia.
