The AYANA Resort and Spa Bali is perched on limestone cliffs above Jimbaran Bay, named after 'a place of refuge' in Sanskrit. The property enjoys majestic views across its coastline including a secluded white-sand beach, yet is just 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) from Bali’s airport.

The expansive resort includes 78 freestanding private villas and a 290-room hotel. The design harmoniously blends traditional Balinese architecture and décor with the latest modern luxury. Tile and alang-alang thatched roofing, distinctive Balinese doors, limestone carvings and a selection of Indonesian arts and antiques complement large marble bathrooms, plush bedrooms and private balconies. The spacious villas include private plunge pools and swim-up relaxation gazebos set within walled courtyard gardens for maximum privacy. The hotel’s superior service standards are based on individual preferences and the understanding that no two guests are the same; the staff are warm, discreet and intuitive while fulfilling the needs of every ‘tamu’, the honorific term the Balinese use to describe every visitor to the island.
