Soak in the 5,000-square-foot infinity pool, complete with a DJ and a poolside butler on call for everything from Evian spritzes to popsicles and quality SPF. Then, hit up the gourmet taco bar for lunch, or head to the Asian-inspired Arbol for an intimately-lit dinner. The resort’s dazzling grounds mean you’ll never need to stray far from your suite.

Family adventures
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay

With a major renovation of its 147 ocean-view villas in 2017, the sumptuous village (complete with an authentic Balinese cooking school) pays homage to the island’s ancient heritage. History buffs of all ages will love a tour of the resort’s historic temple (including a 17th-century shrine), with the temple’s high priest as their guide. Take the littlest visitors to the resort’s Jimba Club for a crash course on Balinese dance or kite flying, or celebrate culinary craftsmanship at Taman Wantilan, where a brigade of specialty chefs cook up a spread of Asian and Western cuisine at open show kitchens.
