Laidback Jimbaran Bay, with its idyllic strip of golden sand and mellow waves, is one of Bali’s most charming spots for a family holiday. Mere metres from the shore, Le Méridien Bali Jimbaran offers a choice of thoughtfully styled rooms, suites and sky villas in a five-star resort setting that art lovers will adore.
Paintings, sculptures and art installations add vim to the contemporary interiors, while outside, a saltwater lagoon pool and tropical gardens provide an enviable setting for lazy days in the sun. Dining options are plentiful with five eclectic venues on site, including Bamboo Chic, the resort’s signature Pan-Asian/Balinese eatery; Smoquee Sky Bar, a panoramic rooftop bar serving freshly shaken cocktails; and WALA, a colourful café scooping up handcrafted gelato – a real highlight for the kids!
Keeping the younger members of the clan entertained shouldn’t be a problem here, with hours of supervised fun courtesy of Le Méridien Family Kids Club. A mini foosball table, a library of children’s books, an outdoor paddling pool, soft toys and video games galore await, and there’s a regular schedule of Bali-themed activities to spark their curiosity, too. Kite decorating, mask making and fun Balinese language classes are just a few of the options. In addition, the resort’s lifestyle programme is designed to encourage parent-child bonding time, and includes sunset yoga sessions, tie-dye craft workshops and fun family photo shoots in traditional Balinese ceremonial attire.
Venture out of the resort and you’ll discover the tranquil bay of Jimbaran, famous for the rustic seafood barbecues that grill freshly caught fish platters every evening. A little further afield, a myriad of family-friendly adventures beckon, from close encounters with wildlife at Bali Safari and Marine Park, to eye-opening cultural spectacles like the clifftop kecak (fire dance) at Uluwatu Temple.
