Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali has officially opened

BALI, Indonesia – Inspired by the traditional five elements of Balinese design, Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali has officially opened as the brand’s respected upscale hospitality offering arrives on the Island of the Gods.

The resort features 297 comfortably appointed and tastefully furnished rooms and suites, each featuring private balconies, complimentary WiFi and a subtle Balinese sense of art, colour and style courtesy of the fabrics and materials utilised in the design.

The newly built hotel is a short 3-minute stroll to Jimbaran Bay in southern Bali, renowned for its 4km stretch of pristine beach and located approximately 20 minutes from the island’s Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Bali’s newest lifestyle and dining destination, the Samasta Village shopping complex, is located next to the resort and with its shops, cafes, restaurants and entertainment performances, complete the Balinese experience for visitors.
