AYANA Bali

This sprawling cliffside resort by Jimbaran Bay is not the newest kid on the block, but at just 12km from Bali’s international airport and with four hotel concepts that appeal to different types of travellers, it’s a good choice for those who seek a conveniently located integrated resort experience. You’ll find 27 dining options, a private beach and 14 swimming pools – yes – and even a brand-new cultural museum where you can immerse yourself in Balinese heritage. Whatever you do, don’t miss a trip to the spa’s aquatonic pool, a seawater pool where a succession of water jets will pummel your tension away. For gorgeous villas with ocean-facing private plunge pools, AYANA Bali is the one to pick.
