This One-of-a-Kind Bali Estate is Actually Four Different Escapes
Written by Emily Jacobs
Go big or go home – that’s the unofficial motto of AYANA Bali, the world-class destination resort perched on 90 hectares of clifftop above Jimbaran Bay.
AYANA Estate Bali is home to not one, but four luxury properties: RIMBA by AYANA Bali, AYANA Segara Bali, AYANA Villas Bali and AYANA Resort Bali, each offering its own distinct experience. The perk of staying within the complex? Across the 90-hectare estate is a swathe of five-star shared facilities, including 14 swimming pools, 19 restaurants and a world-class spa (named the Best Hotel Spa in Indonesia in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2023).
Whether you’re honeymoon-ing in the private pool villas at AYANA Villas Bali, or making new memories with the whole family at RIMBA, here there’s an escape for every type of traveller, all in one place.
Read on to uncover how each one differs.
RIMBA by AYANA Bali
One for the nature lovers, the 403-room RIMBA by AYANA Bali is a tropical paradise, with leafy fronds and trickling water at every turn. It’s also especially popular with families for its Pool Access Rooms, water slide and Three Monkeys fountain pool, ensuring splashy fun under the sun for every age. Be at one with Bali’s lush beauty and wake to views over the canopies in a Forest View Room, or opt for one with views over Jimbaran Bay and the Indian Ocean.
From there, it’s a design-your-own-adventure: relax beneath cascades of pink flowers in a private cabana by the RIMBA Cabana Pool, or splash around with the kids at the RIMBA Lower Pool, complete with a swim-up bar. While the little ones are learning at RIMBA Kids’ Club, head to the resort’s Unique Roof Top Bar and Restaurant or Forest Bar for some valued one-on-one time. Come evening, don’t miss Kampoeng Bali, the resort’s restaurant offering a Balinese village experience beside a rice paddy and lake.
AYANA Segara Bali
Clifftop-cool and contemporary luxury come together at AYANA Segara Bali, where breathtaking sunsets and lush tropical breezes are part of the package. 205 modern and spacious rooms float above the trees, with seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, private balconies and design that marries local craftsmanship with the resort’s airy beach club vibes. Set up for the day by the indoor-outdoor pool, the only one on the Estate and Bali’s largest, or venture to Luna Rooftop Bar for refreshing cocktails in between dips. Come dinner time, savour Mediterranean tastes and textures at Scusa, or eat your way around the world at Karang, Segara’s open-concept kitchen. And of course, the rest of the Estate’s facilities are just a quick tram ride away, which a service every 10 minutes.
AYANA Resort Bali
Traditional resort luxury reigns at AYANA Resort Bali, where the artisanal culture of Bali is celebrated at its best. It offers a range of 294 rooms and suites bedecked with intricate wood carvings, rich fabrics and luxe marble floors, with the option to overlook manicured gardens or the beautiful Indian Ocean. With so much going on, each day can tell a different story: spend time on the sand with a picnic on Kubu Beach, or dip your toes into the freshwater infinity-edge Main Pool; let the kids run wild at the AYANA Kids’ Club while you work your way around the 18-hole golf putting course, or embrace relaxation with a treatment at newly awarded AYANA Spa. Finish each day at a different restaurant – sink your toes into the sand at KISIK Lounge and Seafood Restaurant, or experience the art of yakiniku at the Japanese Sumizen.
AYANA Villas Bali
78 private pool villas set within secluded gardens and 24-hour butler service – AYANA Villas Bali is all about dialing up the romance, all helped by the magical sunsets from this resort-within-a-resort’s clifftop location. You may be tempted not to leave the privacy of your villa at all, where indigenous artworks, separate living areas and large marble bathrooms come as standard. You can even order a floating brunch in your private pool. For next-level luxury, check out the 3,000sqm AYANA Villa: with a jacuzzi, oceanfront Balinese bale and infinity pool, it’s one of the most opulent available in Asia. Awarded Forbes Five Star status seven years in a row, it’s safe to say you can expect the utmost luxury at AYANA Villas Bali.
