Guest sentiment
A 297-room family resort a few minutes' walk from Jimbaran Beach, known for its huge pool, extensive breakfast buffet and pirate-themed kids' club.
Last updated August 10, 2026
Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali opened in 2017 a few minutes' walk from Jimbaran Beach and has become a popular family choice for its huge swimming pool, extensive breakfast buffet, and pirate-themed kids' club. Reviews consistently praise the pool, the breakfast spread, comfortable rooms and a daily complimentary chocolate hour, with the spa and staff warmth also drawing repeat mentions. The main watchouts are limited sun loungers relative to guest capacity (reservations are often needed early), the resort sitting about 100 metres back from the beach rather than directly on it, and occasional reports of noise from the pool area and inconsistent service.

Praises the enormous pool and one of the best breakfast buffets they've had, but notes limited sun loungers and that the resort isn't directly beachfront.

Frequently asked questions
Is Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali directly on the beach?
Not quite -- the resort sits about 100 metres back from Jimbaran Beach, a few minutes' walk away, rather than directly beachfront. It makes up for this with a large pool, extensive breakfast buffet and family-focused amenities.
Is this a good resort for families?
Yes -- it's popular with families for its huge pool, pirate-themed kids' club and daily chocolate hour, though guests should reserve sun loungers early since they can be scarce relative to the resort's capacity.
