This Bali Villa Just Won a Top Award!

The AYANA Villa has been named Bali’s Leading Luxury Hotel Villa 2026 at the World Travel Awards.

AYANA Villas Bali is one of four hotels within AYANA Bali, the island’s largest integrated resort. The award marks the second recognition for AYANA Villas Bali. DAVA Steak & Seafood, the villas’ signature restaurant, has been included in Tripadvisor’s 2026 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Restaurants & Food, among the world’s top 25 fine dining restaurants.

Framed by lush gardens and opening onto panoramic Indian Ocean views, The AYANA Villa is a palatial 3,000-square-meter estate that epitomizes tropical luxury, whether you’re celebrating a milestone with family and friends, retreating in complete seclusion, or setting the scene for a magical Bali wedding. A discreet private entrance leads to the three-bedroom villa, which sleeps six guests across two king bedrooms and one twin, with up to three extra beds available on request. Spacious living areas face Bali’s golden sunsets, while the bathrooms evoke the island’s most opulent spas.

Throughout, the interiors showcase Balinese heritage, from dramatic wooden sculptures to large canvases. In the main living pavilion, a white-and-gold relief spans a double-height wall above a pair of hand-carved timber mirrors, while folding glass doors open the room to the pool deck and the ocean beyond. In the bar area, a long table hewn from solid wood invites guests to linger over drinks and shared meals.

Each bedroom is individually styled. The twin bedroom features four-poster beds in ornately carved timber, softened by sheer white canopies. In one king bedroom, a headboard inlaid with a gilded moon sits beside a reading nook, where a timber window seat, piled with cushions, rests beneath a woven pendant lamp. Elsewhere, deep-red runners stitched with fine geometric patterns lie across crisp white linen, echoing the gold-leaf carving on the furniture and mirrors. The main bathroom centers on a round, carved-stone bathtub set against a walled tropical garden, with ESPA amenities, the British wellness brand known for its natural, aromatherapy-led formulations.

Outside, the private pool offers a tranquil place to unwind, edged by a timber deck lined with sun loungers. Beside it, a traditional thatched bale cradles a wide daybed facing the sea, while the lawn sweeps toward the cliff edge beneath flowering trees.

Guests are welcomed with VIP check-in and attended to by a 24-hour butler throughout their stay. Beyond the villa, they enjoy priority access to Rock Bar, perched on the rocks above the Indian Ocean, and use of the River Pool, reserved exclusively for villa guests. For larger occasions, the lawn and terraces accommodate up to 150 seated guests for weddings and private events.

Within AYANA Villas Bali, DAVA offers a natural extension of the villa experience, and its place among Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best puts it in rare company: the title is awarded based on exceptional traveler reviews over a 12-month period, and fewer than 1% of the platform’s 8 million listings achieve it.

The restaurant’s Argentine-inspired grill menu features premium Australian Wagyu and USDA-certified beef, cooked over an open fire in the South American style, alongside line-caught seafood. Inside, the dining room pairs gleaming ivory marble with deep red velvet booths, and its modern, elegant lines are warmed by soft, low lighting, creating the perfect mood for a special dinner. After dark, torch-lit terrace tables overlooking the River Pool offer an open-air setting, with the lights of the coastline visible across Jimbaran Bay.

In the mornings, DAVA becomes an exclusive à la carte breakfast venue for AYANA Villas guests. With priority access to Rock Bar, villa guests can move from sunset drinks to dinner, then to breakfast the next morning, all within the grounds of AYANA Bali.
