A tropical land equipped with anything you could ever need for a summer getaway. There’s an abundance of beaches, surf, and Bintangs, but the island is also increasingly swarmed by Australians to the disappointment of those seeking escape from the land Down Under. Thankfully for those eager to find rest and respite away from their daily lives, there remain resorts devoted to giving you ample space in which to unwind. Resorts like Belmond Jimbaran Puri, with its bevy of villas that provide as much (or as little) isolation and guests desire.

Belmond owns a handful of international resorts, scattered from the Caribbean to Peru. Belmond Jimbaran Puri is the company’s only Indonesian offering, and is designed to provide to guests the best of the island’s offerings; from beach front access to tropical landscaping. The resort itself is designed rather like a secret garden. A team of gardeners maintain the lush grounds, with weave in and out of individual villas, and culminate in a giant (rather Instagram-friendly lily pond at the entrance). Set directly on the beach, the resort is a village of sorts; a collection of villas, cottages, and traditional Balinese buildings settled within expansive gardens.

Accommodation options vary, with Belmond’s rooms a collection of 38 cottage suites, 4 pool cottages, 21 pool villas. Though ranging in design and budget, the resort’s offerings are evidently passionate on offering ample privacy to guests. The most basic option (though by no means so) are the luxury cottages. The expansive one-bedroom retreats sit beachside and boast en-suites equipped with sunken terrazzo baths, and private terraces to boot.

For those whose key focus while in Bali is to do (and move) as little as possible, there’s the slightly more decadent pool villas to indulge in. As the name suggests, these come equipped with a private plunge in which to take a daily dip (all important in the Balinese humidity). These private homes come in one or two-bedroom varieties, which mean you family unit (or group of travelling buddies) can remain together throughout your stay.

Belmond Jimbaran Puli is designed so that guests don’t have to leave for the hive of activity outside its gates if they don’t want to. There are two restaurants on the grounds, one of which hosts the rather lavish breakfast buffet, and the other is home to the rather popular daily happy hour. Parents will be pleased to note that both restaurants welcome children, and there is a dedicated kids pool in which little ones can let loose. At the heart of the grounds, neighbouring reception, is the main pool. The infinity-designed swimming hole comes equipped with fountains galore, and a bevy of sun loungers on which to top up your tan and sip on a cocktail if desired. Book worms will find solace in the library, which hosts books, magazines and newspapers in a range of different languages, as well as a computer for those who need to catch up on emails.

If solitude is the key focus of your holiday you’ll find no greater ally than Belmond Jimbaran Puri. The green-laden resort is designed wholly around the provision that you don’t really have to leave if you don’t want to. Ocean access, private pools, and traditionally-designed villas provide ample luxury for your stay and ensure that relaxation is near immediate upon check-in. All you have to do is get there and the resort can take care of the rest.
