In a serene corner of Bali where the Indian Ocean kisses the cliffs of Jimbaran, AYANA Spa has once again captured the world’s attention. The iconic sanctuary of wellness, nestled within the expansive AYANA Bali resort, has been named one of Oprah Daily’s 2025 Hotel O-Wards winners, earning a coveted spot on the publication’s list of the world’s top destination spas. Curated by Oprah Daily editors and wellness experts, the annual list honours 53 trailblazing spa retreats worldwide that embody excellence in healing, holistic care, and transformational experiences.
Spanning 2.2 hectares of lush tropical gardens, AYANA Spa is more than a luxury facility—it’s a profound journey into wellness. With 47 treatment rooms, including the show-stopping Spa on the Rocks and one of the world’s largest hydrotherapy seawater pools, the spa is a destination in its own right. This latest recognition solidifies AYANA Spa as a global leader in hospitality and holistic health, celebrated for seamlessly blending nature, culture, and innovation.
What truly sets AYANA Spa apart is its signature Thalassotherapy Pool—a restorative aquatic experience powered by warm, mineral-rich seawater from the Indian Ocean. With hydro-jets, bubble beds, and reflexology stations designed to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and detoxify the body, it’s a favourite among those seeking to reset physically and mentally. This is not just a pool—it’s a journey through water, motion, and healing intention.
And then there’s the ethereal Spa on the Rocks, an intimate retreat perched dramatically above the ocean. Here, guests enjoy bespoke treatments accompanied by the soothing rhythm of waves and uninterrupted sea views. Every moment at Spa on the Rocks feels suspended in time, offering an exclusive escape that is both grounding and transformative.
Deeply rooted in Indonesian healing heritage, AYANA Spa’s Traditional Therapies of Indonesia honour age-old practices using herbal infusions, scrubs, and massage rituals passed down through generations. From Javanese Lulur to Balinese boreh wraps, each treatment reflects a profound respect for ancient wellness wisdom, reimagined for today’s mindful traveller.
“Our inclusion in the Oprah Daily O-Wards is a celebration of everything AYANA Spa stands for—authentic care, intentional design, and a deep connection to nature and tradition,” shared Jory Montilla, Director of Wellness at AYANA Bali. “It’s a tribute to the talented team behind our treatments, and a promise that we will continue to elevate the wellness journeys of every guest who walks through our doors.”
With this global recognition, AYANA Spa cements its place among the world’s most sought-after wellness destinations, where every massage, mineral soak, and oceanfront moment tells a story of healing, harmony, and unforgettable tranquillity.
