Belmond Jimbaran Puri Bali Welcomes 2026 With a Segara-Gunung Feast

Belmond Jimbaran Puri welcomed 2026 with Segara-Gunung, meaning ocean to mountain, a one-night-only Balinese family-style dining experience held on January 2. The concept was built specifically around Jimbaran's coastal heritage paired with the fertile highlands further inland, bringing ocean-fresh seafood together with mountain-grown produce in a communal gibungan format traditionally reserved for family gatherings and religious ceremonies.

Rather than a conventional New Year's dinner, the resort framed the evening around intention, balance, and shared ritual, values that run closer to Balinese cultural practice than a typical Western-style celebration. It's the kind of programming that distinguishes Jimbaran Puri from resorts that simply import a generic holiday menu regardless of location.

The resort continues to hold a strong local reputation, ranking #14 out of 82 hotels in the area on Tripadvisor, and remains part of both Belmond's own portfolio and American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts. Set on Jimbaran Bay with its collection of thatched-roof villas facing the water, the property has built its identity around exactly this kind of deep, place-specific cultural programming rather than generic beach-resort luxury.
