IT TAKES TWO
Experience the best of Indonesia at AYANA’S resorts in Bali and Flores.
Discerning travelers bound for Indonesia’s Island of the Gods will want to consider AYANA Bali, an idyllic sanctuary atop the coastal cliffs of Jimbaran. Ideally positioned for exploring Bali’s vibrant south, the 90-hectare estate comprises four award-winning hotels: the 294-room AYANA Resort Bali; AYANA Segara Bali, a haven of contemporary calm; AYANA Villas Bali, featuring 78 spacious pool villas in various configurations; and the family-oriented RIMBA by AYANA Bali. There are no less than 28 dining venues, while the in-house AYANA Spa features one of the world’s largest hydrotherapy seawater pools. The estate’s newest addition is SAKA Museum, a purpose-built cultural venue that spotlights the meaning and spiritual significance of Nyepi, the Balinese Day of Silence.
Holidaymakers venturing beyond Bali can also depend on the AYANA brand in Labuan Bajo, a scenic port town on Flores Island and the gateway to Unesco-listed Komodo National Park. AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach delivers five-star luxury and hospitality as well as knockout sunset views of the nearby islands. At this modern, locally inspired resort, guests will find 205 oceanfacing rooms and suites, a full-service spa, and seven restaurants and bars that range from authentic Japanese venue HONZEN to alfresco spot KISIK for seafood barbecues enjoyed with your toes in the powdery white sand.
AYANA Komodo doubles as a base for AYANA Cruises, the brand’s fleet of leisure craft: the largest of these vessels is
AYANA Lako di’a, a seven-suite luxury phinisi yacht that recently opened up to bookings for shared cruises. Available on Friday to Saturday for most weeks until mid-october this year, the two-day itineraries showcase the highlights of Komodo National Park.
