Ayana Resort – Is This Bali’s Most Instagrammable Hotel?

Listen, Queen—when it comes to stunning stays, Bali does not play! And after checking into Ayana Resort for the first few days of our  Baddies in Bali group trip, I’m here to spill the tea: this might just be the most Instagrammable hotel on the island. 🏝✨ I mean, everywhere you look is basically a photoshoot waiting to happen.

As a travel influencer, finding those picture-perfect spots is a must. So naturally, I had to make sure my ladies arrived at a place worthy of their IG feeds. Let’s talk about what makes Ayana so iconic!

First Impressions – WOW Factor
So, you roll up to Ayana, and it’s like stepping into a tropical dream. Lush gardens, infinity pools, and the Balinese architecture that makes you gasp before you even check in. I couldn’t help but pause and think, “Yep, this is going to look amazing in my feed.” And it did. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were stepping into luxury meets paradise.



The Rooms – Pure Perfection
Let me just say, when you open your balcony doors to a view of the Indian Ocean, you know you’ve made it. The rooms at Ayana are equal parts chic and cozy, with a perfect blend of modern luxury and traditional Balinese design. Of course, I wasted no time getting that iconic balcony shot—flowy dress, ocean in the background, wind blowing in my hair, serving major *“living my best life”* vibes.

Pools on Pools on Pools
Ayana is home to 12—yes, TWELVE—swimming pools! And each one is more stunning than the next. Infinity pools overlooking the cliffs, lagoon-style pools surrounded by lush greenery, and even a rock pool that looks like it’s straight out of a movie. Needless to say, our Baddies wasted no time diving in (pun intended). It was all about sipping cocktails, snapping pics, and soaking up that Bali sunshine.

Instagram-Worthy Everywhere You Look 📸
Ayana is the kind of place where every corner, every detail, every inch is worthy of a snap. From the stunning cliffside views to the beautifully curated decor, you literally can’t take a bad picture here. We spent our first few days getting all the shots—posing by the pool, strutting through the lush gardens, and, of course, those golden hour balcony pics. The vibe? Pure tropical luxury.



Worth the Hype? 1000% YES! 🙌🏾
If you’re coming to Bali and looking for a hotel that will make your Instagram pop while treating you to top-tier luxury, Ayana is it. Between the stunning views, endless photo ops, and unforgettable vibes, this place is everything you dream Bali to be. And it set the perfect tone for the start of our Baddies in Bali trip!

So, is Ayana Bali’s most Instagrammable hotel? As your girl Capt. Sandy, I’m gonna have to say, YES. If you haven’t added this spot to your Bali itinerary, you’re seriously missing out. Stay tuned for more Bali highlights because this trip is just getting started!

Until next time, stay fabulous and keep those cameras ready!
