Jimbaran Puri Bali

Bali

Bali, a green patch of paradise on the waters of the Indian Ocean, continues to fascinate visitors who come here. Since the beginning of the 20^th century, “the chosen island of the gods” has inspired writers, poets and travelers whose accounts and illustrations bear witness to the wealth of a culture and the uniqueness of a people who represent “the successful synthesis between Hinduism and the most subtle arts of the Javanese court” (Sebastien Ortiz “The Taste of Bali”). As a Hindu enclave in a country with a Muslim majority, the Balinese live in contact with opposing forces - spirits and demons - which find their inspiration in nature. It is truly a land of spirituality. French writer Henri Michaux wrote in his “A Barbarian in Asia”: “Men? No. In Bali everything that moves, resounds, plays or vibrates, are demons.”

A gentle Balinese retreat

The Bay of Jimbaran with its vast stretches white sand beaches, is located at the southern tip of Bali. The air is filled with the smell of fish and grilled shellfish prepared by restaurant and hotel chefs along the sea, in anticipation of the arrival of guests who come to enjoy the beauty of the scenery. Jimbaran Puri Bali, an ideal retreat just a few kilometers from the bustling Kuta beach resort, elegantly combines traditional Balinese architecture and modern comfort. Conforming to local architectural principles, the spacious 350-square-meter interiors respond to the precept of desa, kala patra, meaning that each item must be adapted to the site, the moment and the circumstance. Each of the 22 villas is designed as an independent residence and is surrounded by a white stone Palimanen wall. Opened in 2009, everything is deeply embedded in a thick layer of vegetation making it difficult even for the sun’s rays to penetrate, thus assuring total privacy. The spa, facing the azure water of Jimbaran Bay, offers a wide range of ayurvedic treatments and massages, combining several relaxation techniques including meditation, food hygiene and traditional medicine designed to exalt all the senses.

Stanislas Rollin, former president of the Pansea group, is now associated with prestigious Orient Express company. “The participation of Pansea in Orient Express has undeniably added another dimension to our establishments. Tourists are returning to Bali. The drop in tourist frequentation as a result of terrorist attacks is behind us now.” - Le Quotidien du Tourisme.
