I stayed in a Resort View (Garden View) Twin Bed Room.
The room was spacious, and best of all, it had a garden-view terrace
which felt incredibly private
and perfect for relaxing.
Both the facilities and cleanliness were spotless.
It was honestly the place where I got the best sleep during my entire Bali trip!

RIMBA by AYANA Resort Facilities
RIMBA Cabana Pool
Access to 14 Pools & Private Beach
✔️ Hours: 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM
Within the AYANA resort property,
there are 14 swimming pools and a private beach.
While it would be amazing to visit all of them,
we didn't have a lot of time, so we focused on enjoying
as many facilities as we could during our stay.
Our number one priority was the
RIMBA Cabana Pool, located right at RIMBA.
The floral decorations are absolutely gorgeous, making it the perfect photo spot!
There's also a pool bar right next to the Cabana Pool,
so make sure to check it out.
In particular, the cocktail famously known as Jennie's pick,
the Aperol Spritz, is absolutely delicious,
so you must try it!
We only visited the "AYANA Ocean Beach Pool"
without going in for a swim,
but if you couldn't secure a reservation at Rock Bar,
the view here is so stunning
that it's a perfect alternative for watching the sunset.
Ah Yat Abalone (Chinese Restaurant) - Dim Sum & Peking Duck
Over 20 Dining Options & Bars
Our very first meal after arriving
was dim sum at Ah Yat Abalone.
It's located right in front of RIMBA by AYANA,
just a 3-minute walk from the lobby.
You can make a reservation in advance,
but since we went in the late afternoon,
we were seated immediately without one.
Since we had reservations for Rock Bar in the evening...
We kept it simple and ordered some dim sum,
and every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious!
Since the dim sum menu is only available for lunch,
make sure to plan a lunch visit! It's a must.
"Damar Terrace"
This is a restaurant located right in the AYANA Lobby.
They even have live performances in the evening,
which makes the vibe incredibly romantic and lively.
I highly recommend stopping by for dinner!
One of the World's Top 3 Sunset Spots - Rock Bar
Reservations are a must! – You can book via the AYANA App
One of the main reasons I chose Bali as my travel destination
was none other than "Rock Bar."
As it's world-famous as one of the top three sunset spots,
it was the place I was most excited about,
and it turned out to be one of my most memorable moments.
While non-guests can also visit,
hotel guests get priority access.
So if you're staying at RIMBA by AYANA,
you absolutely must visit at least once!
➕Tip!
You can make a reservation directly on the AYANA App,
so I highly recommend booking Rock Bar as soon as you book your room.
If you're late, you might lose your spot or face a long wait,
so make sure to be on time!
For the best photo spot, I highly recommend the "Tapas Table."
RIMBA by AYANA Breakfast Buffet - To'ge Restaurant
A highly popular breakfast spot among Korean travelers
✔️Hours: 06:30 AM – 10:30 AM
Each resort within the AYANA complex has its own breakfast restaurant,
but the one with the best reviews from Korean guests
was definitely To'ge Restaurant located in RIMBA by AYANA.
With a wide variety of dishes that suited our taste perfectly,
we enjoyed an incredibly satisfying and filling breakfast every morning!
Private Beach - Kubu Beach
Exclusive to AYANA guests – accessible by resort tram
This is "Kubu Beach," a private beach
accessible only to AYANA resort guests.
Though it's located on the far edge of the resort property,
you can easily get there by taking the tram.
(You might even spot some wild monkeys along the way!)
The waves can be quite strong, so swimming isn't highly recommended,
but there are plenty of sunbeds where you can relax and soak in the views.
RIMBA by AYANA Fitness Center
Open 24/7 – Shower facilities and sauna available
Since I was living in my swimsuit and hitting the pools
every single day in Bali,
a quick morning workout felt absolutely essential.
We used the fitness center located right inside
our resort, RIMBA by AYANA.
They had a surprisingly great range of equipment,
with separate machine and free weight zones,
as well as plenty of cardio machines.
Getting a workout in and then heading straight to breakfast
felt incredibly refreshing and energizing!
Best of all, the treadmill incline view overlooks the pool,
which gives you that extra boost of motivation! :)
AYANA Main Lobby - The Ultimate Photo Spot
A breathtaking spot for sunset views
On your way to Rock Bar, you'll pass through the Main Lobby,
where you can catch some of the most stunning sunset views.
There are so many picture-perfect spots here,
so if you're dressed up for the evening, make sure to take a detour
through the Main Lobby!
Whether you're a couple planning a dreamy honeymoon,
partners looking for a romantic tropical getaway,
a family seeking tons of fun activities,
or friends chasing epic photos and beautiful memories—
this is the ultimate Bali resort that truly has something for everyone. Highly recommended!
Before your trip, you can install the exclusive AYANA app, log in using your reservation number, and make a booking. In addition to Rock Bar, you can also pre-book room service and other dining facilities through the app.
The dim sum menu is only available during lunchtime, so you need to visit during those hours. The restaurant is a 3-minute walk from the RIMBA by AYANA lobby, and you can enter without a reservation in the late afternoon.
Kubu Beach is located at the far end of the resort, so you need to take a tram to get there. The waves tend to be strong, so swimming is not recommended, but there are many sunbeds, making it a great place to relax.
The fitness center is open 24 hours a day, and you can also use the indoor shower rooms and sauna. It is equipped with a weight zone and cardio machines, allowing you to work out while enjoying a view of the swimming pool.
