AYANA Resort Bali review — who it's for, best room, local notes | Moments

Curator verdict

by Onur Yurdusever

AYANA Resort Bali is a big clifftop resort in Jimbaran, one of four hotels on a 90-hectare estate with the Rock Bar, Kubu Beach and around 30 restaurants and bars. It suits families and couples who want everything on site, not quiet. Book an Ocean View Room and keep one evening for sunset at the Rock Bar.

Read the full take

AYANA Resort Bali sits on the cliffs at the southern end of Jimbaran, 12 km from the airport. It is one of four hotels on the 90-hectare AYANA estate, alongside AYANA Villas, AYANA Segara and RIMBA, and a shuttle links the different areas. Most rooms are 52 m²; the Ocean View Room is the one to book.

The draw is how much sits behind one gate. The Rock Bar is on the rocks at the foot of the cliff and opens at 4pm, and Kubu Beach, a white-sand cove, is reached by inclinator. There are around 30 restaurants and bars, including KISIK for seafood and Honzen and Sumizen for Japanese, a heated seawater Thalassotherapy Pool and a kids' club for ages 4 and up. Meal plan varies by rate; you see what is included on the booking screen before you pay.

The price is scale. You share the estate with three other hotels, outside visitors book the Rock Bar, and the kitchens are not halal-certified, though non-pork menus can be arranged. For a small, quiet villa stay nearby, look at Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay. For a lively week with children or friends without leaving the gate, book AYANA.

Book it if…

Families with kids 4+ — Free play at the kids' club, and a kids' pool with two slides.
Sunset-bar couples — Guests get priority sunset bookings at the Rock Bar and a guests-only Top Bar.
Food-first travellers — Around 30 restaurants and bars, from Japanese charcoal grill to a Balinese dinner show.

Skip it if…

Quiet seekers — Four hotels share the estate, and outside visitors come for the Rock Bar.
Halal-only diners — The kitchens are not halal-certified; non-pork menus are available on request.
Walkers — Everything beyond the estate is a taxi ride; Kuta is 8 km away.

Know before you book

The estate is shared by four hotels and feels more like a small town than a hideaway.
→ Use the estate shuttle instead of walking between areas. For a calmer swim, go to the Ocean Beach Pool, where children under 12 are not allowed.
The Rock Bar is open to outside visitors too, and everyone wants the sunset slot.
→ Guests get priority sunset reservations and the guests-only Top Bar, with no minimum spend. Book through the AYANA app on your first day, and leave tank tops and surf shorts in the room.
The kitchens are not halal-certified.
→ Write to the resort before you arrive: it can prepare non-pork menus and cook without alcohol.

definitely recommend this hotel
it was a memorable stay especially for families the hotel had everything for all ages. for the facilities there was many options as you could have used all the other surrounding hotels pools and restaurants for breakfast so value for money was just great.
— they put our room at the end of the hotel which was not very convenient. i would suggest some middle eastern food options but all and all it was very good and great.
