InterContinental Bali Resort by IHG

Yes, book it if you want a 5-star beachfront resort in Jimbaran Bay with large pools and a spa, and you are happy to pay about three times our Best Value pick. Skip it if you want to base yourself near Legian or if a musty room would ruin your trip.

This is our Luxury choice in Bali. InterContinental Bali Resort by IHG is an officially rated 5-star resort in Jimbaran Bay, with a guest score of 9.1 out of 10 from 1,518 reviews.
It suits couples and families who plan to spend a good part of the day at the hotel. The property lists beachfront, a pool, a spa, a gym, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, a terrace, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Skip it if your days will be spent around Legian and Kuta, which are far from here. It is also not the pick if you want the best score for your money: our Best Value choice scores higher for much less.
Location and getting around
The address is Jalan Uluwatu No 45, Jimbaran. The location score is 9.3 out of 10, and the property lists beachfront among its facilities.
Distances are straight-line estimates. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is 3.3 km away, around 41 minutes on foot. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue is 3.8 km away, about 48 minutes. Legian is 8.8 km away, roughly 110 minutes.
All three are more than 30 minutes on foot, so treat them as far. You will need a taxi or other transport. Free parking is listed, which helps if you drive, but confirm it for your dates.
What guests say
The staff draw the most praise. Guests describe a friendly, helpful and attentive team and a warm welcome.
The pools are the other highlight. Reviews mention large, clean pool areas with a swim-up bar and floating beanbags.
The main complaint is about rooms. Guests say they are generally tidy and spacious, but some units smell musty or feel damp. If that worries you, ask the hotel about it when you book.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, was about €250.17 per night. The median in our Bali sample was €42.52 per night. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Suka Beach Inn, is a 3-star scoring 8.2 at about €22.25 per night. Our Best Value pick, Amnaya Resort Kuta, is a 4-star scoring 9.3 at about €82 per night.
You pay a large premium here for 5 stars, the beachfront listing and the pools. In pure score terms, Amnaya edges it, so the extra money buys setting and facilities rather than happier reviews.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 30 eligible properties in Bali. This resort was in joint second position by review score in that sample.
For the Luxury slot we give priority to official 5-star hotels, and a 4-star fallback would need at least 8.5. With 5 stars and a 9.1 score, it cleared that bar comfortably.
