Choosing to tan poolside or on the private beach can be a bit of a challenge.
They weren't kidding about that name. The roomiest lodgings at cliff-side Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, your high-walled 6,462 sq. ft. Royal Villa opens out onto wide-angle views of the Indian Ocean. Its two bedrooms and living area are in separate thatch-roofed pavilions, all decorated with local artwork and furnishings covered in colorful Ikat fabrics. Two sundecks, hot and cold plunge pools, swimming pool - ah, there's the butler.
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay offers 147 rooms and suites set amid lush tropical gardens. The island's exotic flora figures in many treatments at the 10,760 sq. ft. spa, whose three couples' suites open onto a courtyard. Try the Balinese massage with herb-infused coconut oil.
More sensory delights await at open-air Taman Wantilan restaurant, which serves a brilliant local take on Italian cuisine. Or out front of casual PJ's lounge, savor a five-course international dinner on the beach - from a canopy bed.
