The highly anticipated AYANA Segara Bali, located within the AYANA Estate in Jimbaran, opens this month.

The hotel, the fourth AYANA property inside the 90-hectare integrated AYANA Estate luxury community at Jimbaran, was designed by award-winning design firm WATG, with its 205 guest rooms and suites by Yasuhiro Koichi of SPIN Design Studio. A place where the forest meets the ocean, the new retreat delivers an immersive experience inspired by the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana.

Intricate wood carvings with traditional Balinese design aesthetic can be seen in the lobby of the hotel, to create a welcoming oasis of calm and a sense of surroundings. A kamasan painting—a traditional painting from the village of Klungkung in Bali— withing the ceiling offers guests a virtual journey of Balinese epic wayang story. The identical kamasan painting can also be seen grace the ceiling of AYANA Resort Bali. These Balinese-inspired touches connect AYANA Segara Bali to the whole AYANA legendary Balinese-inspired experience offering a modern classic luxurious retreat.

Each guest space (we love the two-bedroom Ocean View Suite) offers indoor-outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling framed windows, oversized oval bathtubs and marble rain showers, and private balconies or terraces with daybeds. Each room offers indoor-outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling framed windows that welcome the cool breeze of the Indian Ocean, with private balconies or terraces complete with daybeds to enjoy the view. The contemporary design and modern lines of the room interiors are accentuated with rich materials that celebrate the local region’s craftsmanship.

Look out for spectacular dining experiences that include pan-Asian restaurant Karang and swing by sunset hotspot Luna, which is home to a rooftop pool. Be sure to leave time for a visit to the AYANA Segara Bali, which brings an indoor-outdoor concept that blends the spacious living areas of modern architecture with the expansive panoramic view of Jimbaran Bay and the Indian Ocean, the lush AYANA Estate forest, and the sounds of nature.
