Ayana Bali is home to more than just hotels and residences.
Located on a 90ha clifftop estate overlooking Jimbaran Bay on Bali’s southwestern coastline, the development also includes a museum, a seawater thalassotherapy facility, waterfront event venues and sustainability initiatives rooted in the island’s traditions.
The estate is the flagship development of Indonesian hospitality group Ayana Hospitality, which says its properties are guided by Tri Hita Karana, a Balinese philosophy centred on harmony between people, nature and spirituality.
Today, the development comprises four properties — Ayana Resort Bali, Ayana Segara Bali, Ayana Villas Bali and Rimba by Ayana Bali — offering more than 900 rooms, suites and villas.

Among the estate's unique features is the Saka Museum, which opened within the resort grounds in 2024. The museum focuses on Balinese culture and heritage, and was later named on Time Magazine’s World’s Greatest Places list and received a 2025 Prix Versailles World Title.

The estate also includes Ayana Residences, which the company describes as Bali’s first luxury residential community integrated directly within a five-star resort environment. A new convention centre is currently under development on the site.

Wellness remains another major part of the resort estate.
Ayana Spa includes 53 treatment rooms and a hydrotherapy seawater pool, which the company says is among the largest in the world. Guests staying at the estate also have access to wellness-focused facilities and activities spread throughout the grounds.

Among the estate’s most recognisable features is Spa on the Rocks, where treatment villas are built directly into the limestone cliffs overlooking the sea.

Before the resort was developed, the land consisted largely of dry, rocky terrain with limited vegetation. According to Ayana Hospitality, development of the site was intentionally slowed to allow for soil restoration, landscape regeneration and ecological recovery before construction continued.

Sustainability-wise, Ayana Bali currently holds EarthCheck Gold Certification. According to the company, 90% of wastewater at the property is recycled, while 32 tonnes of single-use plastic were eliminated in 2024 alone. The resort also sources 96% of its service contracts locally.
Beyond Bali, Ayana Hospitality operates Ayana Komodo Waecicu Beach in Labuan Bajo, located near UNESCO World Heritage Site Komodo National Park, and Ayana Cruises.
The wider Ayana Hospitality portfolio also includes Ayana Midplaza Jakarta in the Indonesian capital’s business district, Delonix Hotel Karawang in West Java’s industrial corridor, as well as Riverside Golf Club in Bogor.
