Rock Bar

One of Bali’s most iconic bars, Rock Bar is perched just a few metres above the sparkling Indian Ocean. The only way to reach the bar is by hopping inside an open-air inclinator that takes you down a rock cliff – talk about a dramatic entrance. Located in AYANA Resort, Rock Bar stretches for 270 metres along the seafront. The bar (designed by Japanese glass artist Seiki Torige) is the main focal point, surrounded by various seating options (sofas, tables, day beds, and countertops) overlooking the water. Designed by Sebastien Bonnefoi, signature cocktails champion Indonesian fruits, herbs, and spices. The best way to cool off from the heat, Rock My World (Rp 225,000), is a refreshing mix of kaffir and lemongrass vodka, yuzu purée, pineapple, lemon, and orange. Sunset is the best time to visit, but arrive early to beat the queue at the inclinator. In-house guests enjoy VIP access and prime seats.
