6 Reasons This Clifftop Resort Is Unlike Any Other Bali Escape

Here’s what to expect at the AYANA Segara resort, part of the AYANA estate with its 30 dining venues and bars, secluded beaches and 14 pools.

The newest addition to the huge, award-winning AYANA complex, the clifftop AYANA Segara is where laidback Cali vibes meets the best of Bali.

It pairs sleek, contemporary design with sweeping Indian Ocean views, spacious rooms with private balconies and deep-soaking bathtubs, and a serene clifftop setting above Jimbaran Bay. Then there’s what sets it apart: every stay unlocks full access to the entire 90-hectare AYANA estate – 14 pools, secluded Kubu Beach, a world-class spa, standout dining and sunset cocktails at the legendary Rock Bar – all in one iconic address. This is Bali as you’ve never experienced it.

Here are six reasons AYANA Segara will transform your next Bali escape.

1. You’ll enjoy dining across multiple restaurants

The AYANA estate is home to a whopping 30 restaurants, cafes and bars, offering everything from fresh grilled seafood to beach club bites, Japanese flavours, poolside Mexican, trattoria-style Italian and traditional Indonesian. 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.

Luxury Escapes packages include daily buffet breakfast at Karang, Padi or To’Ge, and daily lunch or dinner at a choice of 11 restaurants across the estate (Scusa, Karang, Sami Sami, Damar, To’Ge, UNIQUE, DAVA, Rock Bar, Padi, Honzen or Liu Li Palace).

2. You’ll have 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 signature cocktails inspired by the elements – fire, earth, wind and water – and graze on gourmet bites, from crispy pani puri and popcorn chicken to refined small plates, as the ever-changing light transforms the view from golden hour to after dark.

3. It has 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. It’s home to one of Bali’s largest indoor-outdoor pools

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. It’s an incredible place to take in Bali’s spectacular ocean sunset

Nestled on a 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.

6. Its design is the epitome of laidback luxury

AYANA Segara strikes the perfect balance between effortless elegance and authentic charm. Traditional Balinese wood-carved details flow through the architecture, rich warm tones contrasting with crisp white walls. Intricate touches give each space a grounded, earthy feel, but clean lines and minimalist design keeps things fresh.
