Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa: Pure Luxury in a Traditional Balinese Village

We have been to a couple of cities in different countries over the years but there is something about Bali that we always love. Whether it is the tropical weather or the picturesque views, Bali always leaves a lasting impression. One place on the island that epitomises this charm is Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa. This exclusive sanctuary is inspired by the communal spirit of a traditional Balinese village, nestled within a former coconut grove where towering palms sway gently in the sea breeze. The property features 20 contemporary villas and exceptional facilities, all designed to blend seamlessly with the island’s tropical environment. In this article, we will delve into the luxurious experiences awaiting you at Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa.

10 Luxurious Experiences at Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa

1. Experience true luxury redefined with their private villas

Any day spent at Kayumanis Jimbaran would be pure luxury. You will get to stay at your very own private villa, one that celebrates Bali’s artistic spirit and remains attuned to the surrounding environment. You can consider either of their available one-bedroom or two-bedroom villas depending on what you need – ideal if you are travelling alone or with a group.  But whichever you pick, there is an open pavilion that overlooks the swimming pool and tropical garden. Furthermore, the villas are built using indigenous materials such as hardwoods and local stone materials from the ground up in a former coconut grove, reflecting Bali’s distinctive open living style.

In our recent visit to Kayumanis Jimbaran, we got to stay at a Two-Bedroom Villa named Klungah, which means ‘young coconut’. We love how this private villa comes with a pool – perfect for relaxation after a long day of touring around Bali. Take in the blue sky while floating around the pool, away from the everyday woes you may have.  If you have kids with you, they will surely appreciate it. Our little kiddos swam almost every day and really had fun since they had the pool all to themselves. The pool is impressively spacious for an in-villa amenity, allowing for both lap swimming and providing wading areas for younger children. 

Pool time with the family

Inside the villa, there is a dining area and functional kitchen facility area where you (or your personal butler!) can prepare a lovely homemade breakfast. Meanwhile, the master bedroom is an adult retreat with a luxurious canopied bed and modern lifestyle amenities. We also liked the little nook on our bedroom, which was really fun for our kids to play around. They entertained themselves by just going up and down the nook! It connects to a large bathroom area featuring an opulent tub and separate rain shower for pleasure-filled bathing experiences. The second bedroom, housed in its own pavilion, is thoughtfully distanced to ensure privacy. This bedroom shares the same aesthetic appeal as the rest of the villa, with a traditionally thatched roof and tasteful decorative accents.

2. Be pampered throughout your stay with a dedicated butler service

While Kayumanis Jimbaran’s villas already offer comfort and luxury like no other, you can further take your stay to another level by having a dedicated butler who would cater to your every need. They can help you with arranging meals to even booking spa appointments! Imagine starting your day with breakfast or afternoon tea delivered directly to your villa, sparing you the need to visit the Kayumanis Resto. If you order out, they can even send your Gojek orders to your villa as well, which was very convenient for us as at times we order different cuisines for our kids.

For a truly unique experience, request a floating breakfast—an exquisite tropical feast served as you bask in the tranquillity of your private pool. It is the most perfect way to start your day! 

3. Indulge on an authentic Indonesian breakfast at Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran

Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran masterfully celebrates authentic Indonesian cuisine, offering guests a culinary journey across the archipelago. We love how this in-house restaurant pays attention to details and sticks close to their values, emphasising full-flavoured dishes made with market-fresh ingredients that are freshly harvested or caught. Even seasonal ingredients have a home in their menu with limited-time specialities that guests can enjoy. 

Breakfast here was nice because of their decent spread. Our top picks? Truffle Egg, Bubur Ayam, and Kayumanis Toast were delicious. For the little ones, there is a variety of healthy options including muesli, granola, and cornflakes, as well as fresh sliced avocado, papaya, watermelon, and more.

Another major detail to note is that the restaurant is a replica of a Javanese joglo. Crafted from sustainable materials, this architecture not only preserves authenticity but also ensures an experience you will remember. Like a traditional family home, it offers a comfortable ambience, perfect for both date nights and family dinners. Additionally, the restaurant boasts a stunning high rooftop adorned with a wrap-around veranda, providing an amazing spot to enjoy your meals.

4. Prepare your own Balinese dish with ease and love for the heritage

If you enjoyed exploring Bali’s culinary scene and are seeking an immersive, hands-on experience, this activity is perfect for you! A cooking class at Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran goes beyond just cooking—it begins with a visit to the traditional Jimbaran seafood market. It offers you more than just cooking too as a cooking class here allows you to visit the traditional Jimbaran seafood market and learn the essentials in selecting and shopping for ingredients you will need. With this, you will learn to understand how market-fresh ingredients are better than grocery or processed ones.

Afterwards, you will be accompanied by the in-house chef who will teach you how to cook traditional Balinese dishes, but in the signature Kayumanis way. This cooking activity is designed not only to hone your culinary skills but also to provide a deep understanding of the local lifestyle and heritage. At the end of the lesson, you will receive a certificate, a recipe fact sheet, and a special gift as a memento of your experience. No need to also worry if you are solo because you can participate here with no problem.

5. Forget all woes and release stress at the Kayumanis Spa Jimbaran

Walking into Kayumanis Spa Jimbaran felt like stepping into a secret paradise. The lush greeneries in its Balinese garden surroundings sure made it super peaceful – allowing you to take a break from the outside world. We love that the place felt amazingly cosy too, complete with calming natural scents while listening to the sound of water trickling nearby. You can truly say that this private haven is dedicated to the rejuvenation of body, mind, and spirit.

Kayumanis Spa Jimbaran presents a curated menu of wellness and beauty rituals, inspired by Indonesia’s timeless healing heritage. From traditional massages to nurturing body scrubs and gentle facials, each treatment is meticulously designed to alleviate the stresses of living in today’s modern world. In our visit, we picked the traditional Balinese massages that sure worked out every ache and pain in our muscles. If you are in it for a full princess (or prince) treatment, you can also even opt for body scrubs with fresh herbs that will definitely make your skin feel baby-soft. 

6. Indulge in their signature sweet chocolate-y full-body skin treatment

This deserves its own mention – Kayumanis Spa Jimbaran offers its own signature chocolate body scrub. It may sound unconventional but it is a true lavish treatment that you can opt for (even at least once in your lifetime) for the ultimate relaxation.

In this signature treatment, you will go through a different process that is inspired by the benefits of chocolate. This includes making your skin feel clean and refreshed, keeping it youthful, and ensuring a radiant complexion. The treatment starts with an Aromatherapy Foot Bath that is followed by a relaxing massage. Once done, you then proceed to a Chocolate Body Scrub session and a Rich Chocolate Body Wrap afterwards. You also get a Kayumanis Facial treatment before a Hot Chocolate Bath.  All in all, this signature spa treatment provides you with three hours of me-time away from distractions, so you can just let your mind and body savour this literally sweet moment. 

7. Make date night extra special with an enchanting floating dinner

Bali has always been renowned as a romantic destination. So if you are in Bali with your other half, we highly suggest booking a floating dinner for an enchanting moment that will surely swoon your partner. We love how intimate and romantic this setup can be – perfect for honeymoon dinners, proposals, anniversary celebrations, or just because. 

The hotel staff will secure a floating platform in the middle of your villa’s private pool so it will just be you and your loved one during this special moment. The platform is then surrounded by exotic blooms that give off a fresh and floral scent that contributes to its romantic vibe. Surrounded by flickering lights, you will be served a delectable five-course Balinese or Indonesian menu. All in all, you can just have a wonderful night together while gazing at each other, under the starry sky, in one of the world’s most romantic islands. 

8. Get lucky and catch your own fish at their fishing experience activity

Now that you have learned how to cook traditional Balinese dishes, you can also take another step and join local fishermen for an immersive fishing experience during sunrise or sunset. You are in Jimbaran after all, a place known for its seafood! And before you say no and think about how boring this activity might be, know that there is beauty in stillness. Additionally, it is proven that fishing has therapeutic promise so we encourage you to hop on the fishing boat that locals refer to as “jukung” for this experience. Spend time with fellow tourists and create core memories whether or not you get to fish the prize catch.

9. Get grounded with Kayumanis Jimbaran’s daily yoga sessions

Bali offers a wealth of activities for optimal relaxation, with yoga being a must-try experience. That said, we love how Kayumanis Jimbaran offers yoga classes perfect for beginners, where you can request for a personal yoga coach who can guide you through the breathwork and poses. Yoga not only promotes relaxation but also enhances mindfulness and gratitude for your surroundings. Even if you are a pro already, you can just join the classes and be one with the collective for extra impact and accountability as well.

10. Enjoy the warm breeze with great food at the Nusa Dua or Jimbaran Beach

A trip to Bali will not be complete without setting foot on their stunning beaches. Just a five-minute walk from the resort, Jimbaran Beach invites you to stroll along its golden sands, offering a perfect setting for relaxation. There are many sun loungers around the area too in case you simply want to chill. 

For a change of scenery, Nusa Dua Beach is also easily accessible, just a 20-minute ride away via the resort shuttle. Simply ask your butler to arrange your trip, ensuring a seamless journey whether you are heading to the beach or exploring Jimbaran. The resort’s spacious car can comfortably accommodate up to six people plus luggage, making your beach outings convenient and enjoyable.

If you are game for a picnic, a butler can also help you prepare a picnic basket filled with gourmet favourites and a picnic mat for you to enjoy the tropical ambience of the sun, sand and sea. Nothing is probably more relaxing than just spending an idyllic day at the beach!

Bonus: Bring your dream wedding ceremony to life with their luxurious wedding packages

And since romance is a thing in Kayumanis Jimbaran (and in Bali in general), we love how they offer both wedding venues and packages to make your special day magical. With the intent to take the weight off your shoulders, there will be a hotel staff to help you plan your wedding and ensure that all is well and in alignment with the ceremony of your dreams. Besides these, there are also existing setups you can choose from their catalogue. Everything looks lovely and luxurious – you will definitely leave every guest wonderstruck with just how wonderful the decor and arrangements are.

Kayumanis Jimbaran Estate invites you to exchange vows beneath a grove of swaying coconut palms, creating a joyous day filled with precious memories. For a more intimate setting, consider the resort’s Villa Garden, with its lush tropical surroundings and charming gazebo, or the enchanting Kayumanis Chapel, featuring a bamboo and glass design nestled amidst greenery. Each venue offers a fairytale-like experience on a tropical island, making your dream wedding come true.

It is nothing too flashy but a few days of stay at Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa sure gives a whole new perspective in life. They found the sweet spot between luxury and simplicity of life, allowing their guests to enjoy the life, love, and company of people while also having to experience it in an elevated way. The butler experience is also really helpful. So if you are looking for your next place to stay in Bali, this resort in Jimbaran might be what you are looking for.
