New hotel: Ayana Segara Bali

The highly anticipated Ayana Segara Bali, a new Ayana hotel within the Ayana Estate in Jimbaran, will welcome its first guest on November 5

The 205-room hotel introduces a contemporary twist to the legendary Balinese-inspired Ayana experience for a more laidback luxury style of living for guests to relax and unwind.

The hotel is the fourth Ayana property inside the 90-hectare integrated Ayana Estate luxury community at Jimbaran, following the trio of Ayana Villas Bali, Ayana Resort Bali, and Rimba by Ayana Bali, taking the total of 980 villas, suites, and rooms.

Designed by award-winning design firm WATG, the firm behind the stunning design of Ayana properties in Bali and Komodo, Ayana Segara Bali is a contemporary design hotel evoking a modern and simple aesthetic. Upon entering the hotel, guests are presented with interior design inspired by the Balinese tradition and culture.

The Balinese-inspired interiors of the rooms and restaurants are designed by Yasuhiro Koichi, the founder of Spin Design Studio, who also designed the famed Rock Bar.

Intricate wood carvings can be seen in the lobby of the hotel to create a welcoming oasis of calm. A kamasan painting – a traditional painting from the village of Klungkung in Bali – can be seen within the ceiling, taking guests on a virtual journey of a Balinese epic wayang story. The identical kamasan painting can also be seen gracing the ceiling of Ayana Resort Bali, uniquely linking both hotels, and providing an unparalleled classic luxurious retreat.
