Passion For Luxury : The Villas at AYANA Resort Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia

An exclusive ‘resort within a resort’ inside AYANA Resort & Spa. Each of the 78 palatial compounds comes with a pool, Roman bath, and round-the-clock butler service.

Guest perks include 'in-pool' dining – via a floating champagne brunch – and priority access to the resort’s world-renowned Rock Bar.

Based along the cliffs of southern Bali’s Jimbaran Bay, where some of the island’s finest sunset viewings take place. The Villas’ accommodation and facilities are discreetly spread within the gargantuan 222-acre AYANA Resort & Spa. The traffic flow coming from the airport oftentimes require heroic patience, even though the resort is seven miles away. Jimbaran Village is a five-minute drive, and a trip to the upscale Seminyak the district takes around 45 minutes.

The Villas shares space with the sprawled but well-maintained grounds of the flagship resort, with every nook, set alight with color from blooms of buttercup flowers and bougainvillea. Beyond the dedicated restaurant/bar and pool area, the ‘resort-within-a-resort’ is really about the Balinese villas themselves: classic, garden-shrouded residences so cosseting and self-contained that guests hardly venture beyond their own ‘ancient’ wooden double-door entrance.

The pampering continues throughout the stay through AYANA’s Little Luxury benefits, which include a complimentary Balinese massage or sunrise yoga and unlimited access to play at the resort’s own 18-hole golf-course. With 18 restaurants, bars and entertainment venues onsite, AYANA will delight foodies. From dim sum to barbecue to authentic Indonesian cuisines, you can embark on a global gastronomic tour within the resort compound. Plus, villa guests have priority access to Dava Steak & Seafood, The Martini Club and H2O Poolside café.
