For a quieter take on Bali, set your sights on new cliff-top property RIMBA Jimbaran Bali, sister resort to the well-known AYANA Resort and Spa.
The eco-friendly, eight-hectare resort overlooking Jimbaran Bay (a serene fishing village) feels like a private island, with its seemingly endless green surrounds. Staying true to its name (“Rimba” means “forest”), the sustainably-designed hotel features 282 contemporary-styled rooms, six swimming pools, six rooftop treatment rooms and a cooking school. Guests also get complimentary resort shuttle rides to Ayana’s seven restaurants, Spa on the Rocks and Aquatonic Seawater Therapy Pool.
Rates start from USD 195 (S$245) per night; visit the hotel’s official website for more info.
