Celebrating curated Indonesian craftsmanship in the newly refurbished Nelayan Restaurant.
Located along the iconic shores of Jimbaran Beach, Jimbaran Puri, a Belmond Hotel, Bali continues to elevate authentic experiences by collaborating with Bali-based artisans throughout the resort. Celebrating the newly refurbished Nelayan Restaurant, the resort is proud to showcase the magnificent works of Sanss Studio, Ong Cen Kuang, Kevala Ceramics and Werdhi Budaya.
Offering guests mesmerising views of the ocean, including the sunset, the sustainably sourced menu at Nelayan Restaurant combines rich Indonesian spices for a gastronomic immersion that celebrates the best culinary traditions of the country. Legendary local flavours are enhanced at Nelayan Restaurant with a menu highlighting a tempting choice of freshly caught seafood from Jimbaran Bay.
The new interior aesthetic of Nelayan Restaurant features fabric patterns and hand-stitched linens by Sanss Studio as well as at the Beach spa at Jimbaran Puri. Each item is hand printed, taking inspiration from Bali’s water jasmine, palm trees, rice paddies, star anise, flowers and the golden sand of the beach. A cobalt blue, golden sand and white colour palette are embellished at Nelayan Restaurant and Puri Bar. At the same time, olive green was selected for the spa to provide a calming and relaxing atmosphere for guests. Established in 2021, Sanss Studio champions skilful female artisans from surrounding villages who reflect a modern design inspiration in their work. Passionate about art and textiles, Sanss Studio produces high-quality fabrics that embody the beauty of Indonesian culture.
Enhancing its guests’ experiences, the resort also collaborates with Werdhi Budaya, a family-run art centre focusing on the various traditions and beauty of the island, in creating handmade cushions and bed runners using ikat techniques. With its close connection to the royal family of Klungkung, Wedhi Budaya is regarded as one of Bali’s most respected art centres.
Ong Cen Kuang does the lighting surrounding the restaurant. Inspired by nature and open spaces, Ong Cen Kuang used only locally-sourced materials such as bamboo, alang-alang, yarn and recycled glass and introduced solar-powered lights for an evening dining on the sand to reduce the carbon footprint.
The tableware is handcrafted by Kevala Ceramics, the leading ceramic producer in Bali that makes handcrafted, original designs of stoneware products with a vision to build a business centred around the unrivalled talent of local artisans. Each piece is individually crafted and formulated from quality materials sourced from all over the world. Traditional and modern tooling combined resulted in products that last a lifetime.
Encouraging its guests to learn and appreciate local craftsmanship, Jimbaran Puri is committed to collaborating with Bali-based artists to bring an authentic Balinese experience to the resort while at the same time empowering and supporting the local artisan’s industry.
