One of the main reasons many travelers flock to Jimbaran is to munch on delicious seafood at the famous Jimbaran Bay. The freshly caught fare from the ocean is available every day and served at lively, lovely restaurants at the beach, giving you the best view of Bali’s magical sunset. The seafood restaurants are located right on the beach with tables set out on the sand. With the sea breeze, the sunset and the mouthwatering food, Jimbaran Bay has everything you could possibly want for a romantic evening out with your loved one. It’s also perfect for a memorable dining feast with the family! The starry night sky above combined with the city lights reflecting on the ocean makes the atmosphere truly magical!

The food is fresh and cooked just the way you like it- on the spot. Seafood simply doesn’t get better than that! On a side note, you can also head down to the fish market in Jimbaran yourself to buy that red snapper and cook it at the villa or, even better, have it cooked for you by the villa’s chef- easily arranged through our free concierge service!
