ROCK BAR at the AYANA Resort and Spa - Bali, Indonesia
ROCK BAR: 360-degrees of sheer glamour, on the rocks.
Located on natural rocks 14 meters above the Indian Ocean at the base of AYANA's towering cliffs, this innovative open-top bar is Bali's most glam sunset and after-dark destination. Soak up the chic ambience and superstar views as the rhythm of the ocean merges with the funky tunes vibing from the DJ booth carved into the cliff-face.
The location is not the only thing 'on the rocks'. Signature cocktails created by Michelin-star F&B Executive Marc Dobbels are served in chic glasses suspended over natural rocks, within an ingenious fish-bowl base. A delectable selection of tapas is also served 'on the rocks', on natural stone plates. Even your bill is presented 'on the rocks', as waves break below and stars glitter above, with only the sea between you and the horizon. You couldn't get any closer to the sunset without setting sail.
Accessed via an inclinator that traverses the cliff-face, the Rock Bar is a spectacular feat of architecture and engineering. Designed by Yasuhiro Koichi of Japan's Design Studio SPIN, whose works include NOBU Tokyo and NOBU Hong Kong, it offers uninterrupted, 360-degree views from every single vantage point.
"The Rock Bar is the only venue of its kind in the world, and is sure to become a must-see destination in Bali," said Marc Dobbels, AYANA's Food and Beverage Executive Assistant Manager. "Yasuhiro Koichi has created a true masterpiece using the natural formation and location of the rock, providing million-dollar views of Bali's famed sunsets from a dramatic and unforgettable venue."
