AYANA Bali is entering a new era of meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions, and celebrations with the launch of its new Grand Ballroom and expanded event facilities on September 1, 2026. As one of Indonesia’s largest integrated resort destinations, AYANA Bali continues to strengthen its position as a leading Bali MICE venue for international conventions, corporate summits, incentive programs, destination weddings, and large-scale events. Located on a spectacular clifftop estate in Jimbaran, the resort combines world-class event infrastructure, luxury accommodations, wellness experiences, and stunning ocean views within a single destination, creating an exceptional experience for both event organizers and delegates.
The expansion represents a significant milestone for Bali’s meetings and events industry. As demand for large-scale conferences and corporate gatherings continues to grow, event planners increasingly seek venues that combine capacity, convenience, technology, and memorable guest experiences. With its newest facilities, AYANA Bali is well-positioned to meet these expectations while further enhancing Bali’s reputation as a world-class destination for business events and incentive travel.
A Landmark Expansion for Bali’s Event Industry
Bali continues to attract international conferences, incentive groups, exhibitions, and corporate meetings. The island offers world-class hospitality, modern infrastructure, and unique cultural experiences that appeal to global organizations.
As the demand for larger and more sophisticated events grows, venues must evolve to meet new expectations. Event planners now look for destinations that offer accommodation, meeting facilities, dining options, entertainment, and wellness experiences in a single location.
AYANA Bali meets this demand by expanding its meetings and events infrastructure. The resort is introducing a new Grand Ballroom and a collection of supporting event spaces designed to host some of Indonesia’s largest gatherings.
The expansion reinforces Bali’s position as a leading destination for international events while giving planners more flexibility and convenience when organizing conferences, summits, exhibitions, and celebrations.
Introducing the New AYANA Bali Grand Ballroom
At the heart of the expansion is the impressive new Grand Ballroom designed by global architecture and design firm Gensler. Spanning 1,850 square meters of pillarless space, the ballroom provides exceptional flexibility for event organizers. Without columns obstructing sightlines, guests can enjoy clear views of the stage from every seat.
The ballroom features soaring nine-meter ceilings that create an elegant and spacious atmosphere. It can accommodate up to 2,300 seated guests, making it one of the largest event venues on the island.
The venue is designed to host a wide variety of events. International conventions, corporate summits, product launches, destination weddings, gala dinners, incentive programs, and major brand activations can all take place within this flexible space.
Its scale and design allow organizers to create immersive experiences while maintaining comfort for delegates.
Advanced Technology for Modern Events
Technology plays a crucial role in today’s conferences and corporate gatherings. Organizers expect venues to support high-quality presentations, live productions, and dynamic event experiences.
The new Grand Ballroom features integrated audiovisual infrastructure that simplifies event operations. Three large-scale LED screens are positioned across two sides of the venue, allowing organizers to create impactful visual presentations without extensive temporary installations.
This built-in technology reduces setup requirements and helps event teams deliver professional productions efficiently. The result is a smoother experience for both organizers and attendees.
An Integrated Resort Designed for Large Gatherings
One of AYANA Bali’s greatest advantages is its fully integrated resort environment.
Unlike many standalone convention centers, AYANA Bali combines meeting facilities, accommodation, dining, wellness, recreation, and entertainment within a single destination. This integrated approach helps simplify logistics while enhancing the guest experience.
Located just 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, the resort provides convenient access for domestic and international delegates. At the same time, its location in Jimbaran offers a peaceful setting away from the island’s busiest tourism districts.
Bali’s Largest Integrated Accommodation Capacity
AYANA Bali features 993 guest rooms distributed across four hotels within the estate. This gives the resort the largest accommodation capacity of any integrated MICE destination in Bali.
Large conferences often require participants to stay close to meeting venues. Having accommodation within the same property improves convenience and reduces transportation requirements.
Delegates can move easily between their rooms, meeting facilities, restaurants, and recreational areas without leaving the resort. This creates a seamless experience that enhances satisfaction and productivity.
Resort Facilities That Elevate Every Event
The resort offers one of the most comprehensive event environments in Bali. Guests can choose from 31 dining venues, ranging from casual dining to premium restaurants. These venues provide excellent options for networking dinners, executive meetings, incentive programs, and social events.
The property also features 14 swimming pools, extensive recreational facilities, and the award-winning AYANA Spa, which includes 47 treatment rooms. These amenities allow delegates to balance business activities with relaxation and wellness experiences during their stay.
Flexible Spaces for Every Event Format
Beyond the Grand Ballroom, AYANA Bali has expanded its collection of supporting event spaces.
An expansive foyer creates a welcoming environment for registration, networking, sponsor exhibitions, and guest receptions. The space provides flexibility for organizers while improving attendee flow during major events.
The Veranda offers one of the most impressive event settings within the property. This outdoor space features sweeping 270-degree ocean views, making it an ideal location for networking breaks, cocktail receptions, and private gatherings.
In addition, the expansion includes 20 breakout rooms that support concurrent sessions, workshops, training programs, and executive meetings. Many rooms benefit from natural daylight, creating a more comfortable environment for delegates.
Dedicated VIP holding facilities located adjacent to the ballroom further enhance convenience for keynote speakers, executives, and special guests.
Seamless Indoor and Outdoor Event Experiences
One of the defining features of the expansion is the direct connection between indoor and outdoor event spaces.
The Grand Ballroom is among the few large-scale ballroom venues in Bali that offers direct access to ocean-facing outdoor areas. This allows conferences and formal functions to transition naturally into evening receptions, sunset cocktails, gala dinners, and open-air celebrations.
Instead of relocating to another venue, guests can continue their event journey within the same destination. This flexibility creates a more enjoyable experience for delegates while reducing logistical challenges for organizers.
Sunset Events with Ocean Views
AYANA Bali’s location above Jimbaran Bay provides a stunning backdrop for outdoor events. As the sun sets over the Indian Ocean, outdoor venues transform into memorable spaces for receptions, celebrations, and networking gatherings.
The combination of ocean views, tropical landscapes, and luxury facilities helps create experiences that leave lasting impressions on attendees.
Luxury Event Venues in Bali: What Planners Should Look For
Bali has become one of Asia’s leading destinations for meetings, conferences, incentive travel, and luxury celebrations. As the island continues to attract international events, planners now have access to a wide range of venues, from beachfront resorts and clifftop destinations to convention centers and integrated event complexes.
When selecting a luxury event venue in Bali, organizers often consider several factors beyond ballroom capacity. Accessibility, accommodation inventory, breakout facilities, dining options, wellness experiences, and outdoor event spaces all play an important role in creating a successful event.
Many organizations also look for venues that can accommodate multiple event formats within one location. This allows delegates to move seamlessly between conferences, networking sessions, gala dinners, and leisure activities without extensive transportation arrangements.
Integrated resorts have become particularly attractive because they combine accommodation, meeting facilities, dining, and recreation within a single destination. This approach helps simplify logistics while creating a more convenient and enjoyable experience for attendees.
AYANA Bali reflects many of these qualities through its integrated event environment, extensive accommodation options, oceanfront venues, and diverse lifestyle facilities. With the addition of the new Grand Ballroom, the resort further expands its ability to host events of different scales while maintaining a seamless guest experience.
As Bali’s event industry continues to grow, venues that offer flexibility, advanced technology, sustainability initiatives, and memorable guest experiences are becoming increasingly important for both local and international planners.
A New Chapter for Meetings and Celebrations
The opening of the Grand Ballroom marks a major milestone for AYANA Bali and the wider events industry in Indonesia.
With its impressive capacity, advanced technology, integrated resort environment, oceanfront setting, and commitment to sustainability, the venue offers everything needed for successful large-scale events.
Whether hosting international conventions, executive summits, incentive programs, destination weddings, or gala celebrations, AYANA Bali provides a seamless and memorable experience from start to finish.
As demand continues to grow and bookings increase for late 2026 and throughout 2027, the resort is poised to become one of the most sought-after event destinations in Asia. Through this landmark expansion, AYANA Bali not only enhances its own capabilities but also reinforces Bali’s position as a leading destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions, and luxury celebrations.
