BALI, INDONESIA, Aug 24: AYANA Bali, Indonesia’s largest integrated resort destination, unveils a new chapter in integrated events with the debut of its new Grand Ballroom and expanded event facilities, launching commercially from September 1, 2026. Event inquiries and bookings are now open, with strong early interest already building for Q4 2026 and 2027.
Set within AYANA Bali’s 90-hectare clifftop estate in Jimbaran, the expansion strengthens the resort’s position as one of the island’s leading destinations for meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions, weddings, and large-scale celebrations. Built around a resort-wide event experience, AYANA Bali connects conference facilities with oceanfront venues, destination dining, accommodation, and cultural and wellness experiences within one integrated estate.
Located 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport and away from the island’s main tourist congestion, AYANA Bali comprises 993 guest rooms across four hotels, giving it the largest accommodation capacity of any integrated MICE destination in Bali. The resort also
offers the island’s most diverse integrated MICE environments, with 31 dining venues, 14 swimming pools, the award-winning AYANA Spa with 47 treatment rooms, and extensive wellness, recreation, and entertainment facilities. A resort-wide tram system simplifies delegate movement across the property, reducing logistical complexity for planners and attendees alike.
At the center of the expansion is the new Grand Ballroom, designed by global architecture and design firm Gensler. Spanning 1,850 square meters of pillarless space with 9-meter ceilings, the ballroom accommodates up to 2,300 seated guests and has been conceived for international conventions, corporate summits, incentive programs, destination weddings, gala dinners, and major brand events. Integrated audiovisual infrastructure, including three large-scale LED screens positioned across two sides of the ballroom, supports high-impact productions with minimal setup requirements.
Surrounding the Grand Ballroom is a newly enhanced collection of event spaces designed to accommodate a wider range of event formats. An expansive foyer accommodates registration and networking, while the Veranda opens onto sweeping 270-degree ocean views. Beyond, 20 breakout rooms support concurrent sessions of varying scale, many with natural light, alongside dedicated VIP holding facilities adjacent to the ballroom.
A defining feature of AYANA Bali’s expanded meetings and events experience is the fluid transition between large-scale indoor functions and outdoor venues. The Grand Ballroom is among the few large-scale ballroom venues in Bali offering direct access to ocean-facing outdoor event spaces, allowing conferences and formal gatherings to continue naturally into sunset cocktails, dinners, and open-air celebrations without requiring guests to relocate elsewhere on the island.
The architectural concept draws inspiration from Bali’s ancient Sanga Mandala philosophy, creating a balanced relationship between people, place, and the surrounding environment. Sustainability also remains central to AYANA Bali’s operations. As an EarthCheck Gold-certified destination, the resort’s integrated model helps reduce transportation requirements and event-related emissions, an increasingly important consideration for international organizations and ESG-focused planners. The approach reflects the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony between people, nature, and spiritual wellbeing.
Together with existing meeting and event venues across the resort, including facilities at RIMBA by AYANA Bali, the expansion further reinforces AYANA Bali’s position as one of Indonesia’s most comprehensive destinations for large-scale meetings, celebrations, and incentive travel. With early interest already building, prime dates for Q4 2026 and 2027 are expected to be secured well in advance.
