Jimbaran Bay

The Bukit peninsula is connected to the rest of Bali by a narrow neck of land. Here, the Jimbaran Bay area has one of the safest and most tranquil white beaches. Jimbaran is renown for the Barong (trance) dance. It also has Pura Ulan Iwi, a beautiful temple made of brick.

Jimbaran is a sleepy cove where fleets of fishing boats colour the scene. Since the opening of the Four Seasons Resort and other five star hotels, this once-quiet area has now become a popular resort. Local families and tourists are drawn by its beauty, and to enjoy the food of the superb seafood restaurants along the beach. Jimbaran is a very popular spot for windsurfing and small sailing craft, which are available for rent.

Bali has such a mild and agreeable climate the whole year round. The sunny days within dry season between May and September are warm and pleasent, while the rainy season is between October and April, tropical showers will alternate with clear sky and sunshine. The average temperature of the day in coastal areas varies from about 28ºC (82ºF) during May, June, July to about 30ºC (86ºF) in March and October.

It is approximately one and half hours drive to the highland where temperature varies from 16ºC to 26ºC and it is known to drop about 8ºC during the night. The humidity is high (from a minimum of 70% to a maximum of 96%). The weather is most pleasent between May to September.
