Travel Review: Favorite Beach Getaway – Bali’s Ahimsa Beach Resort Jimbaran

Apa Kabar Honeyz Bunnies!

Today, I’m gonna shed the ‘Beauty Junkie’ and ‘Aspiring Fashionista’ personas and put on my ‘Wanderluster’ hat. (Ignore the lack of parallelism.)

Yes. A travel review FINALLY. In particular, my favourite beach destination.

Before I dive into this review, I decided to do a mini survey with my good girlfriends on where their favorite beach destination is.

Here are the responses.

Favourite beach destination: The Maldives

Favourite beach destination: Six Senses Ninh Van Bay

Favourite beach destination: Perhentian Island

Favourite beach destination: Island of Coron

Gorgeous choices, ladies.

Here comes my choice…. Bali’s Ahimsa Beach Resort Jimbaran!

There’s not a scintilla of doubt that this fine resort is my most favourite beach getaway.

It is highly recommended on Trip Advisor and is ranked number one among twenty-three others under the ‘Specialty lodging in Jimbaran’ category.

If you’re wondering what’s the big deal? Well here’s the biggie…

Lobby (In the evening)

I was greeted by the simple and tiny lobby. (Well… The ‘big deal’ is not exactly here.)

Ok. Honestly, when I first entered the lobby, I wasn’t too impressed. In fact, I started to worry about the state of the villa. Could it be crammy and dull like the lobby?

Wait for it…

Wait for it….. (anxious tone)

There you go!

Boy was I wrong about the villa! It was huge and spacious coupled with a nice aromatherapy scent.

Well, I guess the lobby was probably built small on purpose to give way to the huge villas.

Villa (In the evening)

Love the plunge pool!

I just have to do this.

A cute kitchen.

Entertainment systems in the living room. DVDs may be rented free-of-charge at the concierge.

There’s a garden in the bathroom!

Isn’t it beautiful?

Gotta snap a picture!

Villa (In the day)

I woke up the next morning to this.

Breakfast was already prepared by the Ahimsa’s staff!

Totally famished. Gobbled my delicious breakfast like a hungry monster.

Villa in the day.

Awww.. love the tranquility.

Camwhoring in this beautiful villa. 😛

Ok. Lotsa camwhoring. I can’t help it! It’s not everyday that I get to lodge in such a beautiful place.

Walkway to the lobby

One last camwhoring picture?

Outside the resort

Heading out!

Explored the hotel beside the Ahimsa Beach.

Interesting monument

Headed to the beach.

Enhanced the colour slightly and it turned into this. Whoa…

I came back later in the evening to this. It was a little surprise from the resort (as part of its honeymoon package).

Can I bring this home?

BBQ Lunch in the resort!

I love my life!

And a “live band” to go with the wonderful lunch. How good can this get??

A clarification. The ‘live band’ was not part of the package. I think it was 40USD per hour. The rates are available at the concierge and it’s based on availability of the musicians.

I went to the shopping and entertainment spots nearby and it wasn’t that fantastic. I would suggest going all the way out of the Jimbaran area for entertainment (e.g. Rock Bar) or just stay in the hotel (It’s good enough. :P)

Here’s a little hint to my next travel review.
