WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO COME TO BALI?
due to the local weather patterns of southern bali, you can expect sunny and mostly dry conditions year round. although there is a higher chance of rain between the months of january to april, booking your holiday during the off season (november – april) often means lower rates and fewer crowds. the temperature in the south of bali remains between 28-34º throughout the year.

bali is officially malaria free, however, we strongly recommend consulting your doctor before travel.
DO I NEED SUNSCREEN?
the sun is bali is very strong, even when cloudy, so we recommend the regular application of sunscreen of at least spf 30.
WHAT ABOUT THE CURRENCY?
as part of indonesia, bali uses indonesian rupiah (idr). however, all major international currencies are easily changed at licensed money changers. at the airport it’s best to only change a small amount to cover expenses such as taxi fare. automated teller machines (atm) are found all over the island, and accept most international bank cards.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BALINESE CULTURE?
the languages in bali are bahasa indonesia and local balinese dialect, however, most people are able and willing to understand basic english.
the religion in bali is predominantly balinese hindu and there are many colourful traditional hindu ceremonies happening around the island on a daily basis.
of particular note in mid march is the hindu new year ceremony of ‘nyepi’, where all roads, offices, schools and public areas including the airport are closed for 24 hours. during the day, people are free to move around inside their homes and hotels.
ESSENCE
meaning ‘precious time’ in ancient sanskrit, jamahal is a haven for couples and honeymooners seeking a romantic retreat together away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
HISTORY
starting out life as a private residence, jamahal was transformed into its current incarnation as an environmentally friendly boutique resort of 13 elegant and luxurious villas, and is about as far away as you can get from a large mainstream hotel experience. due to this, we do only cater to guests above 16 years of age.
DESIGN
each villa artfully blends contemporary and traditional elements to create an ambiance of tasteful sophistication – think plush furnishings, opulent interiors and lush tropical gardens.

since we limit ourselves to a maximum of 28 guests, we are truly able to provide a genuinely personalized experience. whether you’re looking for the best dining, a spot of balinese culture, or even a more off the beaten track experience, we’re here to assist you at anytime you need.
just a short walk (or two minute transfer by private car), our private beach club lets guests enjoy the golden sands, beach and stunning sunsets of jimbaran bay in style and comfort.
