Introducing
Sundara, the new beachfront restaurant at Jimbaran Bay. The name is the
Sanskrit word for “beautiful” and pays tribute to the glowing sun that warms
this Indian Ocean hotspot.
Immediately
positioned as one of Bali’s top dining destinations, Sundara, opened February
4, 2013, offers the perfect mix of five-star flair and relaxed beach-club vibe.
With its direct beachfront location and panoramic views of Jimbaran Bay,
Sundara provides a sexy and sophisticated hideaway – all day from lunch until
late night.
Helmed
by Executive Chef Greg Bunt and the restaurant’s General Manager Lehfeldt,
Sundara is a highly social meeting place, attracting stylish crowd from well
beyond Four Seasons. The mood feels modern yet relaxing, cutting edge yet natural.
Ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere, there’s a constant emphasis on
service, promising a relaxed and friendly attitude with sophisticated polish.
Designed
by Koichi Yasuhiro from Tokyo’s renowned Design Studio SPIN, the beachfront
Sundara features 29,437 square feet (2,923 square meters) on two levels,
including a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. Two soaring Balinese-style
pavilions create a distinctive roofline, while inside, the décor combines
Bali’s unique artistic heritage with an ambience of relaxed luxury. The focus
is always on views of the beach and the wide curve of Jimbaran Bay.
The
ground level features two main spaces: the big-windowed Sundara Bar and the
open-air Sundara Patio, adjoining an open-concept kitchen and featuring a
gorgeous al fresco dining area with umbrella-shaded tables. Right in front, on
a lower deck, there’s a row of day beds for lounging by the Infinity Edge, just
steps above the sand. Next to the day beds lie a row of beach sun lounges for
resort guests.
The
upper level features the open-air Sundara Mezzanine Bar and the spectacular
Sundara Restaurant set beneath a lofty thatched ceiling. This upper floor may
also be used as a private function venue for up to 68 guests. The space may be
partitioned into three smaller sections – becoming two private dining rooms for
up to 14 guests each, and a larger central room for 40.
Cuisine
Executive
Chef Greg Bunt’s eclectic international menu at Sundara presents innovative and
classic flavours, celebrating seasonal produce from the island. This bold beach
restaurant provides a complete experience from lunch until late night, inviting
guests to come and graze away the day.
Lunch. The outdoor dining space at Sundara
is perfect for a casual lunch. Choices include the wood-fired pizza selection,
the signature burger list, sushi or salads, such as the exotic Vietnamese
mangosteen salad. A variety of Indonesian specialties and noodle dishes include
local favorites, such as satays, bakso and nasi goreng.
Afternoon. Guests may reserve a day bed
at the Infinity Edge and bring their swimsuits for cocktails and snacking on
casual cuisine that’s designed for sharing. Later, the bar is a lively spot for
margaritas and music by the resident DJs. On the mezzanine level, the lounge is
a more relaxing venue for pre-dinner drinks, while watching the sun set over
beautiful Jimbaran Bay.
Dinner. In the evening, Sundara
transforms into one of Bali’s most sophisticated dining experiences, focusing
on steak and seafood. Start with selections from the charcuterie kitchen,
sampling the Spanish cured ham (Jamón Ibérico), duck, pork and pistachio
terrine. For the main course, select from the imported prime cuts of grain-fed
or Wagyu beef, or a whole baked snapper, served with spicy local sambals. To
finish, there’s a wonderful international cheese selection and decadent
beachside desserts.
Late Nite. After dark, the beachside
mood at Sundara becomes candlelit and sexy with a variety of cocktail and wine
selections.
