AYANA is dedicated to continuous innovation in order to offer the best experience for our guests. We are excited to introduce the elevated version of AYANA Farm, which integrates an educational platform to learn about Balinese farming culture, a sustainable farm-to-table dining experience, and unique farm-to-spa and farm-to-bar guest experiences. This immersive offering allows guests to learn about traditional farming practices, pick fresh ingredients for their meals, and enjoy spa treatments and handcrafted cocktails that showcase the farm's bounty.

With carefully curated exhibits and displays, Museum Saka offers a unique opportunity to learn about the profound depths of Balinese culture while fostering a sense of tranquillity and contemplation.

Please introduce any new services or programs prepared in the face of the endemic.

We have introduced several new services and programs in response to the pandemic. One notable addition is our guest application, designed to enhance the guest experience and provide easy access to all hotel information. Through the application, guests can access important details about the resort, such as facilities, dining options, spa services, and activities. They can also use the chat system within the application to receive immediate responses to basic questions. The chat system supports multiple languages, allowing guests to communicate in their preferred language for a more personalized experience.

This application not only provides convenience but also promotes safety by reducing direct contact and the need for physical brochures or informational materials. Guests can access everything they need through their own devices, making it a seamless and efficient way to navigate the resort and stay informed about available services.

The program incorporates various activities such as environmental exploration, cultural immersion, arts and crafts, and team-building exercises. Children can learn about sustainability, eco-friendly practices, and the local Balinese culture through engaging and interactive sessions.

What do you think is the identity of AYANA?

The Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana is a guiding philosophy of AYANA estate that encompasses the belief that harmony and balance must be maintained among three key elements: human beings, nature, and the divine. This principle has been incorporated into the resort's operations, striving to create harmony and balance between our guests (human beings), the natural environment (nature), and spiritual beliefs or practices (the divine). By embracing the principle of Tri HitaKarana, AYANA Resort seeks to create a holistic and sustainable experience for its guests while respecting the cultural and natural heritage of Bali.
