Always dreamt of the five-star Four Seasons lifestyle? Now you can spend an entire day at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay...
We get it. Splurging on a five-star, award-winning resort isn’t always something we can do on the regular. Especially when we’re talking about a Four Seasons resort in blissful Bali (swit swoo!). Well, we’re going to let you in on a little secret. The perks and privileges of a Four Seasons lifestyle aren’t reserved only for in-house guests. Oh no siree. You’re invited to step inside the superlative oceanfront expanse of Sundara Beach Club, where you can spend an entire day soaking up the fabulous facilities of Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay – all without checking in.
Oh yes, fellow Four Seasons fans. The jewel in Jimbaran’s crown is officially open to outside guests (but shh, don’t tell everyone!), and you can get a VIP taste of the resort’s glamorous facilities, including the award-winning cuisine (which has been carefully curated by a clinical nutritionist, no less), access to the brand new Healing Village Spa, and of course, a sunshine-soaked daybed at the exclusive beachfront destination, Sundara Beach Club. Here’s what you can look forward to during your day spent at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay…
One fine day at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay
Beachfront bliss at Sundara Beach Club
It’s no secret that we LOVE Sundara Beach Club. This upscale, oceanfront destination is truly one-of-a-kind, where luxe and leisurely lounging meets specially crafted sustainable cocktails, delivered direct to your daybed thanks to the six-star Four Seasons service. A sultry beach-club by day, and an iconic and glimmering restaurant by night – Sundara really does exceed all expectations. And that’s before we mention the 57-metre-long infinity pool…
As part of your day spent here, you can sip poolside on signature, house-infused cocktails (the Bloom of Sundara is our forever-fave) and graze on the brand new wellness-driven food menu that’s been specially developed by Miles Price (a clinical nutritionist) and Sundara’s Executive Chef, Phillip Taylor. This dynamic duo has unveiled a spectacular lineup of conscious creations, like the flash-fried crab cakes with grated coconut, carrot, coriander, chilli and smoked paprika. Or the “Beetroot-Iced Buddha Bowl” with cumin-spiced labneh, purple cabbage, snap peas, baby spinach, green apple, toasted almonds and raspberry granite. Yum!
And of course, life is all about balance, so joining these wholesome and delicious dishes is a menu of “Liquid History” cocktails – potent libations that are at once zero-waste and inspired by the rich heritage of Indonesia. Each sustainable cocktail represents different Indonesian eras, taking you from ancient times to the Spice Wars and through to Indonesia’s Independence. Try the house-infused arak (a popular tipple enjoyed in local villages today) or discover imported liquors and flavours introduced by the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. Our fave is the slow-cooked Made’s Margarita, which uses a classic lime and tequila base with house-made tangerine liqueur, tangerine marmalade with andaliman pepper, finished with a smoked salt rim.
And as for that zero-waste element? Anything left over from the bar’s cocktail-making processes (for example the rind or flesh of citrus fruits) goes straight to the kitchen – an even better excuse to pair a tipple or two with some nutritious bites. And psst – you’ll want to stick around until sunset, because every day between 5 and 7pm, it’s two-for-one on signature cocktails…
The Sundara Beach Club Day Pass is priced at IDR 490,000++ per person (that’s 50% off the normal rate!). It includes full Food & Beverage credit, Wi-Fi, mineral water, towels and luxe poolside amenities. This special offer is valid until 31 March 2021.
Lunch and stretch
If all that talk of fabulous and nutritious food at Sundara got your attention, then you’ll want to check out the “Jimbaran Joy” wellness pass. This special day pass entitles you to a spectacular two-course lunch at Sundara Beach Club, followed by a very special AntiGravity Yoga session at the brand new Healing Village Spa. Nestled on the exclusive and culture-rich grounds of Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay (surrounded by Balinese temples and serene water gardens) the Healing Village Spa teeters on the water’s edge – a truly breathtaking setting for such a magical yoga experience…
The Jimbaran Joy pass is priced at IDR 500,000++ per person, and includes a two-course lunch at Sundara Beach Club, followed by AntiGravity Yoga at the Healing Village Spa.
Sun and spa
Another treat-filled package for you to check out is a day spent pampering and sun-soaking beside the seaside. Start your day with a 75-minute massage at the sublime Healing Village Spa, before making the most of complimentary access to the modern gym and spa facilities. Then, once you’re feeling fully pampered and preened, make your way to the dazzling beachfront, where your very own complimentary daybed will be waiting for you at Sundara Beach Club. While away this blissful day under the warm Balinese sun, dipping in the pool, ocean and back again.
And if you’re not ready to give up your Four Seasons’ VIP status when home-time swings around? Order one of Sundara’s sweets-to-go, where you can take home a beautifully presented cake box. Choose from a selection of refined French desserts, or pick your fave and take home the entire cake. Honestly, we can’t think of a better finale to such a fine day at Jimbaran Bay…
The spa reopening package is priced at IDR 1,000,000++ per person and includes a 75-minute massage, complimentary access to the gym and spa facilities, as well as a complimentary daybed at Sundara Beach Club.
