class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for the best sunset in Bali? It\u2019s hard to beat Rock Bar\u2019s coveted position along Jimbaran\u2019s sunset coast. Perched 14 metres above the Indian Ocean, this clifftop bar delivers serious wow-factor thanks to an open-air design that allows for 360-degree views of crashing ocean waves and a fiery horizon come dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jaw-dropping drama begins before you\u2019ve even found your table \u2013 enter the bar by descending the cliff face in an inclinator to enjoy aerial views of both the bar and crashing waves beyond. If you want to skip the queues and are feeling fit enough, you can always opt to take the stairs instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food &amp; drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may come to Rock Bar in Bali for the sunset, but you&#8217;ll stay for the cocktails. The curated cocktail list takes inspiration from its surroundings, seamlessly blending classic flavours with Indonesian ingredients. Stay cool with a Rock My World, a refreshing combination of kaffir and lemongrass-infused vodka, yuzu pur\u00e9e, pineapple, lemon and orange. If you prefer something a little spicier, sip on the Rockatonic, which blends dried-fig-infused dry gin, orange bitters and white vermouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also local and international beers, an extensive wine list and energising juices and mocktails to suit all kinds of tastebuds. The food is top-notch \u2013 snack on tapas like crispy calamari, popcorn chicken or sushi, or settle in for larger plates, such as lobster orzo or pizza from the nearby Sami Sami Restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The vibe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/offer\/ayana-resort-bali-indonesia-asia\/0062y00000COiCQAA1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gallery_eat_and_drink_18_rockbar4-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the happening Rock Bar Bali in the evening - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-5444\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rock Bar Bali, Ayana Resort Bali.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;ll be no &#8216;just rolled off the beach&#8217; looks here, expect snap-happy visitors striving to get the perfect sunset photo while dressed to the nines (as per the dress code). A resident DJ plays cool, low-fi beats during the day, but when the sun sets and the sky is sprinkled with stars, the air is filled with toe-tapping tunes from live bands who perform on the elevated Round Bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sit back and relax while friendly staff bring you plates of mouthwatering Mediterranean-inspired dishes and lavish cocktails mixed by world-class bartenders. While all this is happening around you, the constant crashing of waves at the base of the cliff is the perfect soundtrack to your blissful Bali experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/offer\/ayana-resort-bali-indonesia-asia\/0062y00000COiCQAA1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gallery_eat_and_drink_18_rockbar3-1-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"An image of the Rock Bar Bali overlooking the waves crashing against the rocks - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-5442\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rock Bar Bali, Ayana Resort Bali.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rock Bar\u2019s design is a minimalist affair: the view really is the star of the show here. Architect Yasuhiro Koichi of Japan&#8217;s Design Studio SPIN worked with the natural formation of the rock to create a design that celebrates the stunning natural scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main bar is a masterpiece. It was created by Japanese glass artist Seiki Torige, who used thousands of layers of recycled glass canes to create a monument of gleaming glass and smooth stone, backlit by the orange glow of sunset. DJs hit the decks from the custom-built DJ booth that\u2019s been carved right into the rock face. Meanwhile, wooden deck areas and varying levels of seating offer extra vantage points to admire the ocean views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The resort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videowrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AYANA Villas Bali_DEAL PAGE_1\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/843732860?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to secure the best sunset-viewing seats Bali\u2019s Rock Bar has to offer, then opt for a stay at the five-star AYANA Estate, a world-class escape above Jimbaran Bay.
