KARMA JIMBARAN

We are members of Karma, and booked this resort for a wk after staying at Karma Kandara for a week. We found both resorts fantastic. We would say at Jimbaran the customer service/friendliness was a little higher of the employees. The quality of the food was fantastic - value better than Kandara, as were the options available in comparison. It was a nice touch that the head chef came to meet us during our meal on a couple of occasions to ensure we were happy and enjoying the food. The ambiance was great also. Recommend the 'all you can eat' seafood BBQ, and the fish & chips. The villas are very big..we had a 4 bedroom villa, and the space you get is brilliant..with 3 separate buildings in our villa: one had the lounge and twin bedroom, the other had double bedrooms up and downstairs (master upstairs), and the 3rd was a double bedroom. All fitted with large ensuites. the master had a large bath also. There are also outside showers next to the downstair bedrooms. It is very easy to go for a walk, and local shops are available, and really nice restaurants too (recommend the Tandoor for Indian), and a huge variety of seafood ones too. If you ask at reception they will drive you in the buggy to the end of the local road outside the resort, so you can get to moneychangers/shops/etc. There was a nice tour company we used call Nadi Bali tours (on the way to the Tandoor). The beach is ok, but its public. The private beach at Kandara is brilliant - there is a free transfer to/from Jimbaran to Kandara for guests to use free of charge. The resort also a has a nice infinity pool, as does each villa. I would highly recommend this resort. If you are planning two weeks in Bali, start with a week at Kandara for relaxation, then a week at Jimbaran if you wish to do more sightseeing (closer to airport also). Taxis are readily available - Bluebird are recommended as they run on meter. We paid about 60,000 rupiah to get to the airport from Jimbaran. Happy holidays! We would definitely consider visiting again in the future.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay in Karma Jimbaran! We booked a one-bedroom pool villa but ended up being upgraded to a three-bedroom villa instead. Everything was so spacious and luxurious - landscaping was on point and the Koi pond was pretty cool too. All the staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The resort is family friendly and even holds various events each night such as a movie night and BBQ dinner buffets. The resort is only a short walk away from the beach, Jimbaran Corner and a bunch of restaurants. However if you wanted to travel to the Kuta/Seminyak areas, it may take between 30 mins to an hour in a taxi depending on traffic. Overall, our stay at Karma Jimbaran made our week in Bali a very enjoyable and memorable one!

Karma Jimbaran is conveniently located just a few short steps from Jimbaran beach where you have good local seafood and some great surf! It's also within walking distance of the Samasta shopping centre which has good food options as well as a good supermarket. There is a second outlet of the Wahaha Restaurant at Samasta if you ever want pork ribs and an Italian restaurant (Pepenero) to name a few restaurants. The resort itself has great amenities like private pools for villas as well as a shared lap pool. One highlight was the In villa BBQ where the Chef would Come and cook for you. We were lucky to have executive Chef Sara cook for us. The seafood is amazingly fresh and it costs about US$30 an adult for around 7-10 different dishes. You also have access to Karma's Sister resort - Karma Kandara. It's located at Uluwatu and has an amazing pristine private beach which you can visit. Do note the shuttle timings though if you don't have your own transportation planned. Great location overall!

Beautiful villas, each with their own pool. Large living areas and bedrooms. Huge bathrooms and gorgeous gardens Staff are all lovely Seafood restaurants and beach a short walk away, and the hussle of Kuta is a $10 taxi ride away if you want to shop for a bargain

Enjoyed the peaceful beautiful gardens around the resort and our private pool. The beach was 5-10 minutes walk from our accommodation. An excellent new Samasta village shops nearby. Could do with a proper footpath along road to Samasta.
