Choosing your hotel is one of the most important decisions a traveler makes while planning a holiday. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend staycation or a major school holiday with the whole family, where you stay, play and create memories together makes all the difference. AYANA offers a safe and welcoming haven for luxury travel with meaning.
AYANA translates into ‘heavenly oasis where God rested’ in Sanskrit, reflecting the hotel brand’s commitment to warm and genuinely caring service that is highly impeccable, yet also invites guests to meet and become lifelong friends with gracious Balinese staff members who take the island’s Hindu culture and heritage to heart. Guests have access via complimentary open-air shuttle to three 5-star resorts, three exquisite spa venues, 19 fabulous restaurants and bars, 94 hectares of open-air activities including an 18-hole putting course, shaded jogging path and exclusive white sand beach with a private beach club.
Located just 12 km from Bali’s international airport, AYANA is nestled along the dramatic ocean facing cliff tops above Jimbaran Bay, which is home to Bali’s most famous authentic fishing village. AYANA, a 403-room resort, offers an alluring glimpse into upscale Balinese design interiors with carved hardwood furnishings and marble bathrooms. RIMBA, a joyful family retreat with lagoon access suites for couples, is positioned at forested treetops overlooking Jimbaran’s sparkling coastline. For guests dreaming of Bali’s iconic villa experience, The Villas is a private, all-villa enclave each designed with its own contemporary plunge pool and lushly landscaped garden with ocean views. Villa guests rave about the personal butler service offered 24/7 while on holiday.
With remote working being one of the hottest travel trends in 2021, AYANA is delighted to announce being home to Bali’s first purely residential community available to remote workers and digital nomads within a 5-star resort. Like guests, tenants have access to the resort’s newly upgraded 22,000sqm spa featuring 53 treatment rooms and one of the world’s largest Hydrotherapy Seawater Pools and Spa on the Rocks, one of Asia’s most secluded wellness venues with two spa villas located just steps from Jimbaran’s aquamarine ocean. A fully appointed business center, two fitness centers and two dynamic kid’s clubs offer remote workers and holiday guests alike the ultimate destination for peaceful renewal and rebalancing.
In addition to holiday time, AYANA is also the preferred wedding destination of choice for discerning lovebirds worldwide. With 15 wedding venues in its storybook collection, including a private beach at Rock Bar, BALI, floating ceremony at SKY, on the pier at KISIK Jetty, Balinese romance at Asmara Gazebo and all glass with ocean views at Tresna Chapel.

With the ever-evolving changes to travel, AYANA has literally thought of everything so that you don’t have to leave the resort and waste valuable time in transport. Traditional Ubud style activities abound in RIMBA’s very own Balinese village, complete with a working rice paddy where you can actually learn how to plant rice with a Balinese farmer.
