Ayana Resort & Spa

When I first walked into the brand-new Ayana, Made, the doorman, had a lovely frangipani lei and a greeting of "Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton" for me. Poor Made, you can understand his confusion since it was only 2 weeks prior that this property changed hands. The Ayana, as it is now known, hasn't strayed from its former management credo, since the new company is run by the former Ritz-Carlton CEO. You can still expect the same anticipatory service chasing you around the 77 hectares (190 acres) overlooking Jimbaran Bay. Each room is decorated in muted colors with a touch of sea blue to match. The resort has its own private beach. Facilities include five swimming pools, six wedding venues, renowned restaurants, private villas, and more. Do not miss treating yourself to a rejuvenating water treatment session at the Thallaso Spa. The new Rock Bar has to be one of the best beach bars on the island.

Facilities:
3 restaurants, Kisik, Dava, and Honzen 97; bar; babysitting; kids' club; gym; Jacuzzi; outdoor pool; room service; spa; tennis court
