overview
Perched on dramatic cliffs above Jimbaran Bay, AYANA Resort Bali is the flagship property within the 90-hectare AYANA Bali estate, alongside AYANA Segara Bali, RIMBA by AYANA Bali, and AYANA Villas Bali. Ocean-view and garden-view rooms pair traditional Balinese design with contemporary comfort, and the resort is best known for Rock Bar, its cliffside sunset lounge overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Wellness is a centrepiece: guests can float in a seawater thalassotherapy pool at the spa or use the 18-hole putting course and tennis courts. Beyond dining across dozens of venues, the resort weaves in culture through the SAKA Museum, the six-hectare Tevana Garden, and the AYANA Farm's farm-to-bar workshops. With 14 swimming pools and a private Kubu Beach, note the resort operates cashless as of June 2025.

Plan your Jimbaran trip around AYANA Resort Bali
Start with AYANA Resort Bali's live prices for your dates, since room rates in Jimbaran swing with the season. Then look at activity packages, since a beach seafood dinner and a morning at the fish market are easy to add once your base is set. Finally, price a car: a car makes the short hops to Uluwatu and the airport easy. The three links below go straight to each.
our review
Ninety hectares, fourteen pools, thirty restaurants and bars. AYANA is less a hotel than a small district, and Rock Bar on the cliff edge is the piece everyone comes for. We would give it a whole evening rather than squeeze it in after dinner.
The estate rewards people who intend to stay inside it. There is a seawater thalassotherapy pool at the spa, an 18-hole putting course, and the SAKA Museum, which TIME named one of the World's Greatest Places in 2024. Rooms face the ocean or the garden. The flip side is distance: moving between your room, the sand and Rock Bar means shuttles and planning. Anyone using a hotel as a base for exploring Bali will pay for a great deal they never touch.

How do you get to AYANA Resort Bali from the airport?
