6 Reasons Why AYANA Bali’s Newest Clifftop Resort is a Game-Changer
Written by Siri Smith
Lose yourself in Bali’s finest clifftop views, hidden nooks and culinary affairs at the brand-new and coastal-cool AYANA Segara.
There’s something undeniably magnetic about AYANA Segara, AYANA’s newest addition to its award-winning – and massive – Jimbaran Bay complex. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped by the scent of frangipani, the sound of trickling water and some of the best views the Island of the Gods has to offer. Drawing inspiration from traditional Balinese art and custom, AYANA Segara’s authenticity can be found in every thoughtful addition, from intricate wooden carvings to its spectacular indoor/outdoor pool centrepiece, lined with vivid blooms. This is Bali as you’ve never experienced it.
Here are six reasons why AYANA Segara stands apart from the rest.
1. It’s crafted for those seeking laidback luxury
AYANA Segara strikes the perfect balance between effortless elegance and authentic charm. Traditional Balinese wood-carved details flow seamlessly through the architecture, its rich warm tones contrasting with crisp white walls. These intricate touches give each space a grounded, earthy feel, but there’s a modern twist, with clean lines and minimalist design that keeps things fresh.
The architecture of AYANA Segara reflects this ethos, flowing from the ground level to the rooftop like an organic extension of the natural landscape. Paths meander between beds and hanging gardens of colourful tropical flowers, with the soothing sound of water following you at its centre level.
2. It’s an incredible place to take in Bali’s spectacular ocean sunset
Nestled on a flawless cliffside, AYANA Segara has secured a front-row seat to one of Bali’s greatest natural spectacles: sunset. While you can enjoy the sunset from the comfort of your room (they all have private balconies), the real magic happens at LUNA Bar, an exclusive venue designed with dusk in mind. Custom-built for golden hour, it’s a space where the pool seemingly melts into the horizon; there’s no finer place to enjoy sundowner cocktails than here.
3. You’ll have access to one of Bali’s best private beaches…
Offering more than just ocean views, AYANA Segara gives you direct access to one of Bali’s most exclusive private shorelines, Kubu Beach. The adventure starts with a funicular tram that winds through the sprawling estate every five to 10 minutes, leading you to a panoramic elevator exclusive to guests. Descend into the cove, where crystal-blue waters, pristine sands, and lush greenery await.
On the same stretch of sand is the Kubu Beach Club – a nostalgic nod to 1960s Bali, with natural timber furnishings and a laidback, beachy vibe. Feast on traditional Indonesian cuisine like nasi campur, a hearty dish of spiced meats, vegetables, and sambal, paired with a ‘Kubu Colada’ – a reimagined piña colada served in a hollowed-out pineapple. For those seeking extra privacy, picnic spots are laid out along the beach, creating intimate – and romantic – pockets for you to enjoy.
4. … and the island’s largest indoor-outdoor pool
AYANA Segara’s pool is an architectural marvel, with intricate marbling and elegant curves that wind around the resort, dipping into hidden nooks and secluded spots. Cool off in the shade or soak up the sun depending on your mood – the advantage of an indoor-outdoor pool.
Umbrellas dot the poolside, offering respite from the sun, and a poolside bar means refreshments are never far away. Whether you’re making a splash or floating beneath the Balinese sky, it’s a space designed for relaxation.
5. Guests enjoy priority access to the iconic Rock Bar…
AYANA Segara’s connection to the rest of the AYANA estate gives guests a unique privilege: priority access to the iconic Rock Bar. This 270-metre-high marvel juts dramatically out over the ocean, offering one of the most immersive dining experiences in Bali. With panoramic views on all sides, you’ll feel as if you’re directly connected to the ocean, the waves lapping against rocks below.
Sip on a ‘Rock a Tonic,’ a zesty blend of fig, gin, and citrus, or nibble on gourmet bites like chicken ballotine with pistachios and enjoy views as they constantly evolve with the shifting sun.
6. … plus all-inclusive dining across 11 award-winning venues
With 11 award-winning dining venues across the estate, food lovers are spoiled for choice. Whether you desire a traditional Balinese meal at Kampoeng Bali, Italian delights at Sami Sami or exquisite Japanese cuisine at Honzen, AYANA has it all. And with the convenient tram system, you can dine your way around as you please – there’s no need to leave the resort to satisfy your cravings.
