The InterContinental Bali Resort offers all-round fun with a superb beach location.
One of the most established hotels in Bali, with excellent facilities and quality, plus probably the best soft beach location on the island.
It is located at Jimbaran Bay, about a 25-minute drive from the international airport. You can see the flights arriving/departing in the distance, but they are rarely heard.
The Intercontinental Jimbaran Resort has 425 rooms, suites, and villas spread over extensive tropical gardens in six separate wings.
- You have Classic rooms which have integrated living areas, starting at 49 sqm
- Premium Rooms which are similar but have lounge access where complimentary refreshments are served
- Both the Classic and Premium rooms overlook the gardens with patio or balcony
- In addition, you have several speciality suites and 2 freestanding villas
- Spa
- Gym
- Kids’ club
- Several swimming pools for couples and families
- Numerous dining options offering different cuisine and locations
- Live entertainment most evenings
- Plus that incredible expansive soft sand beach, with non-motorised activities only
David from Chic stayed here in late 2025, and here are just a few sentences from his review.
With over 400 rooms, it’s not exactly boutique, but the service and quality were highly professional and personalised.
Attractive mature tropical gardens with numerous ornate swimming pools. The dining choices within the hotel were excellent, plus you have numerous options either just along the beach (mainly offering seafood) or roadside with more cuisine offerings. There is a village just outside the hotel with some shopping, with the main shopping malls of Nusa Dua & Seminyak about 45 minutes’ drive away (most things in southern Bali are a short distance / long drive due to congested roads).
The beach is just amazing. I walked it numerous times. It’s powder soft and usually has gentle waves. In my view, it’s the very best of the island. The hotel opened in 1993, the first on Jimbaran Bay, so it had the choice of location. More recent arrivals not so fortunate, so they went to less attractive areas.
Note – The Jimbaran convention centre is adjacent to the hotel, so at times the clientele can be a mix of leisure smiles and hope the meeting ends soon!
There is also an Intercontinental at Sanur, just across the island. Details on request.

+ About Bali – Indonesia
Bali, Indonesia, is one of the most romantic islands in the world. Add instant culture and an almost spiritual atmosphere. Despite increased tourism, once away from the busier resorts, you still have a wonderful sense of tradition.

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May-June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East, we show a per-person, per-night hotel guide, excluding airfare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
