One of the best Bali family resorts, the Movenpick Resort Bali located in Jimbaran Bay is a great choice for your next Bali family holiday. We love the gorgeous pools at the Movenpick Jimbaran and the facilities are 5 star. The Movenpick kids club is a favourite for our kids and the chocolate hour a definite highlight too 😉

Why should your family stay at the Movenpick Resort Bali?

• You appreciate modern, clean rooms with a fantastic pool area and great kids activities
• A 2 minute walk to a family friendly beach suits your family
• You prefer staying in an area with a few shops and restaurants. Jimbaran is a more sedate pace compared to Legian/Seminyak
• Easy access to explore places like Uluwatu, Kuta, Nusa Dua and Sanur

Movenpick Bali Overview

Movenpick Bali is located in Jimbaran a short 15 minute drive from the Bali airport. From the back gate of the resort, it is only a 2 minute easy walk to Jimbaran Beach. We loved Jimbaran Beach with the kids, nice and calm plus the sunsets are beautiful. There is also a golf cart shuttle from the back gate at the Movenpick each day on the hour from 8am until 7pm. The Movenpick is a large resort with majority of rooms overlooking the awesome pool area. Right next door is the Samasta Lifestyle Village with a variety of shops and restaurants.

Pools at Movenpick Jimbaran

The pool area at the Movenpick Jimbaran is huge! Our family loves the pool area and when we visited in June 2022 you didn’t have to pay and reserve a gazebo to spend the day in. They have the kids splash water park, central pool bar, water aerobics pool and much more! Our kids especially love the play area outside of the kids club, they played there for so long.

Note: In Jan 2023 you needed to rent the Gazebos a couple of days prior and was approx. $15USD per day.

Rooms at Movenpick Resort Jimbaran

All of the rooms at the Movenpick Resort Jimbaran are a great size with modern amenities. For us the pool view rooms are a must, it’s such a beautiful view. We were lucky enough to be chosen to be upgraded for our stay in June 2022 to a Junior Suite and the huge bed was well and truly big enough for the 2 kids and I!

I do find booking rooms at the Movenpick slightly frustrating for families. All the rooms have a maximum of 3 people capacity. So if you have a family of 2 or more kids you will need to select interconnecting rooms but they don’t have the function on their website! You need to request and hope for the best. Luxury Escapes often have different deals with interconnected rooms. If you need to contact the Movenpick us this email [email protected]

Classic Rooms

The classic rooms at the Movenpick Jimbaran can sleep 3 people and if you are needing to sleep a family you can book the family prestige rooms, 2 interconnecting classic rooms. These rooms are not on their website and you will find a video of these rooms in the video above. If you would like to book you will need to email the resort and request a price.

Junior Suite

We stayed in the junior suite (room number 2240) in June 2022 and the bed was huge and easily slept the 2 kids and I. A huge amount of space, these rooms once again only sleep 3.

Family Duplex Rooms

These rooms are set over 2 floors and I have no idea why the website list occupancy for 3 people? The bed located upstairs is a double sofa bed that can fit 2 kids so I would perhaps ask. There is a stair gate available for the top of the stairs and a good safety railing. The balustrade is very high on the second floor.

Restaurants at Movenpick Resort Jimbaran

The food at the Movenpick Jimbaran is delicious, we especially love the buffet breakfast selection and of course the chocolate happy hour each day. Pre-covid the Movenpick Jimbaran held an awesome Sunday brunch but they haven’t started doing the brunches yet.

Anarasa Restaurant

This is the main restaurant of the resort and located next to the kids club and pools. Breakfast is served from 6:30am and the restaurant is open until 11pm at night.

You can find the current menu at this link and the kids menu is extensive. The kids zone is the perfect spot for the kids to relax and eat while the adults enjoy their meals.

JeLaLa Tropical Pool Bar

Relaxing by the beautiful pool and don’t want to move to get food?! The JeLaLa pool bar serves delicious food and drinks, you won’t want to move. Open from 11am to 7pm.

Here is the current menu link to look through, the cocktails are delicious 😉

Chocolate Hour

Each day, Chocolate Hour is served from in the cafe next to the lobby of the Movenpick. It is free for guests and the selection of chocolate treats is delicious. It doesn’t include coffee or tea but they will make one for you if you ask.

Movenpick Bali Kids Club

The Meera Kids Club is for kids aged 4-12 years old but under 4 year olds are welcome with a parent or nanny. It is open from 9am-6pm daily and they have a huge range of activities. The first 2 hours are free to play, it then costs $6.50 per hour/child. Our kids love the pirate themed kids club and the easy access to the pool area is a definite plus for families.

Movenpick Resort Bali Spa

Arkipela Spa is set in a luxurious environment with prices to match! Open from 9am-9pm each day, check out the link for the current prices. The spa is a fantastic treat for any exhausted mum or dad!

Movenpick Bali Activities

Gym

The gym is located next to the kids club and has a good range of equipment. You can also rent a bike from 9am-6pm to ride around the streets of Jimbaran. The beach at Jimabran is a great spot to learn to surf and the resort can help organise surfing lessons.

Nearby to Movenpick Jimbaran Resort

I often get asked the question what is close by to the Movenpick Bali resort? Although the area isn’t full of shops and restaurants as Legian or Seminyak is, Jimbaran still has a great range of options. Samasta Lifestyle village next to the Movenpick has upmarket options including restaurants, cafes, Timezone, gift shops, clothes shops, ice cream shops, just don’t expect to pay cheap Bali prices. There is also a pizza place called Pepenero just across from the entrance of the Movenpick, might be worth a try.

The short walk to the beach is well worth it for places to eat. Beekini Bowl is a favourite of ours and there are a huge range of seafood restaurants as well. You can also splash out and head to Sundara Restaurant and Beach Club. Open 11am until 1am, they do a delicious Sunday Brunch and have a great kids menu. The onsite kids club is also available for day pass guests.

A few of our favourite restaurants away from the beach are Cuca, La Brasserie Resto and Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran. We have celebrated birthdays at Cuca over the years and they are welcoming of kids. Opia has always been on our list to try too! There is a new place that has opened up that looks fantastic, Oil and Vinegar Urban Deli.

Located close by to the Movenpick you can find a range of cheap day spas, money changers, laundries, chemists (apoteks) and small convenience stores. You will find many of these places on Uluwatu Street. Also check out the Kedonganan Fish Market and fresh food market on Uluwatu St. Sidewalk Jimbaran is a short drive from the Movenpick and has a cinema, supermarket and other speciality stores.
