A lot has been said about the sparkling blue curves of Jimbaran Bay or the magnificent laps one can do in Sundara’s 57-metre beachfront infinity pool. The hypnotic sound of waves lapping on the beach at the tranquil bay is sufficient to heal the blues, but add good food and tasty tipples into the equation and one immediately understands why Sundara is known as the island’s favourite dining, drinking and all-day relaxation destination.
Weaving the island’s age-old craftsmanship with vernacular materials, the 2,500-square-metre establishment delicately frames the bay. Whether one seats at its air-conditioned bar or at the dining room on the second floor, the sea is always visible for one’s viewing pleasure. Tactility pervades the interior, from the wood and rattan armchair to the carved white paras stone wall. Graceful is a word that one rarely uses to describe a beach club but the word easily applies to Sundara or “beautiful” in Sanskrit.
