AYANA BALI UNVEILS A NEW CHAPTER FOR LARGE-SCALE EVENTS | News
AYANA Bali, Indonesia’s largest integrated resort destination, unveils a new chapter in integrated events with the debut of the new Grand Ballroom and expanded event facilities, commercially launching from September 1, 2026. Event information and bookings are now open, with strong interest already emerging for the fourth quarter of 2026 and 2027.
Located on AYANA Bali’s 90-hectare clifftop estate in Jimbaran, the expansion reinforces the resort’s position as one of the island’s premier 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.
AYANA Bali is located 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport and away from the island’s main tourist congestion. It features 993 rooms across four hotels, giving it the largest accommodation capacity of all integrated MICE destinations in Bali. The resort also offers the island’s most diverse integrated MICE environments, with 31 dining options, 14 swimming pools, the award-winning AYANA Spa with 53 treatment rooms and extensive wellness, leisure and entertainment facilities. A resort-wide tram system simplifies the movement of participants around the grounds, reducing logistical complexity for planners and visitors alike.
Central to the expansion is the new Grand Ballroom, designed by global architecture and design firm Gensler. Spanning 1,850 square meters of pillar-less space with 9-meter ceilings, the ballroom can accommodate up to 2,300 seated guests and is designed for international conferences, business summits, incentive programs, destination weddings, gala dinners and major brand events. Integrated audiovisual infrastructure, including three large-scale LED screens positioned on two sides of the ballroom, supports high-impact productions with minimal installation requirements.
Surrounding the Grand Ballroom is a newly enhanced collection of event spaces designed to accommodate a wider range of event formats. A large foyer accommodates registration and networking, while the Veranda opens to stunning 270-degree ocean views. In addition, 20 breakout rooms support simultaneous sessions of varying scale, many with natural light, in addition to dedicated VIP holding facilities adjacent to the ballroom.
A defining feature of AYANA Bali’s comprehensive meeting and events experience is the fluid transition between large-scale indoor functions and outdoor venues. The Grand Ballroom is one of the few large-scale ballroom venues in Bali that offers direct access to outdoor event spaces with ocean views, allowing conferences and formal gatherings to progress naturally to sunset cocktails, dinners and open-air celebrations without the need for guests to relocate elsewhere on the island.
The architectural concept is inspired by Bali’s ancient Sanga Mandala philosophy and creates 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 well-being.
Together with existing meeting and event locations in the resort, including facilities at RIMBA by AYANA Bali, the expansion strengthens AYANA Bali’s position as one of Indonesia’s most comprehensive destinations for large-scale meetings, parties and incentive travel. With interest building early, key dates for Q4 2026 and 2027 are expected to be set well in advance.
