The villas and the setting
The resort sits on 35 acres on Bali's southern tip overlooking Jimbaran Bay, on cliffside grounds with ocean views from most of the property. All 156 accommodations are villas — 147 pool villas plus 9 private residence villas in an adjoining enclave — with no standard hotel rooms; every villa has its own private plunge or dip pool, a feature the resort and its architect (Grounds Kent Architects) describe as a first for a large-scale resort when the property opened in the early 1990s. Villas are built as thatched-roof pavilions around private courtyard gardens.
The renovation and dining
A two-year renovation refreshed all 147 pool villas — new landscaping, interiors, furniture, thatch roofing — and added the Imperial and Royal Pool Villa categories, with the villas relaunching in 2016 (broader resort-wide work continued into 2017 per some sources). Dining runs five venues: Sundara (oceanfront, capacity 280), Taman Wantilan (international live-action cooking stations, capacity 148), Alu (poolside health-focused café), Jala (Balinese cuisine and a cooking academy), and TELU Bar. The Healing Village Spa spans over 2,000 sqm with 10 treatment suites and a dedicated Longevity Garden.
Dining
Overview: 95% of fruit/vegetables/fish/seafood sourced locally per official site. Jala's menu built directly around the Jimbaran fish market, 5-min drive away.

Rooms & categories
Overview: Base unit is a walled compound, not a room: pavilions grouped in stone-walled courtyards, no interior corridors, no shared building. 147 standard villas plus 9 residence villas (near the beach, 2-4BR, multi-generational scale). Room-size figures conflicted between search sources for several categories (fourseasons.com blocks direct fetch, 403), so those are left as "not published" rather than guessed.
