AYANA Segara opens indoors-outdoor design scheme

The new 205 guestroom AYANA Segara Bali is the fourth property inside the 90 hectare integrated AYANA Estate luxury community at Jimbaran, taking the total to 980 villas, suites, and guestrooms. Designed by award-winning design firm WATG, the firm behind the design of AYANA properties in Bali and Komodo, the contemporary design hotel evokes a modern and simple aesthetic.

On 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 to a virtual journey of Balinese epic wayang story. The identical kamasan painting can also be seen grace the ceiling of AYANA Resort Bali, uniquely linking both hotels, which provides unparalleled classic luxurious retreat.

The new AYANA Segara 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 estate forest, and the sounds of nature. A place where the forest meets the ocean, the hotel brings an immersive experience to be harmonious with nature, a concept and guiding principle of AYANA inspired by the Balinese philosophy, Tri Hita Karana. A combination of building design, intricate Balinese-inspired traditional ornaments and the stellar view of the surroundings, AYANA Segara pays homage to its location and transports guests into a culmination of tranquil, comforting, and modern slow-living Bali luxury life.
