Accommodations range from nearly 300 standard hotel rooms with small balconies to villas with private pools overlooking the ocean at this swish resort above Jimbaran Bay. There are many stairs to descend from the clifftop to the beach. But the water’s often too rough for swimming, so most guests opt to spend their days poolside. A spa sits atop rocks surrounded by crashing waves, and among Ayana’s 12 bars and restaurants is Rock Bar, a Bali sunset institution.
