Each of the 5-star rated suites at RIMBA Jimbaran Resort come with a private balcony, air-conditioning, TV and bathtub.
Staying in the 2-bedroom Jimbaran Bay View Suite at RIMBA Jimbaran Resort is something truly special. With comfortable interconnecting rooms, sleeping 2 adults and 2 children, we highly recommend this for families looking to indulge in the luxurious surroundings of Bali. We book a cot and it fits comfortably in the room with split single beds.

RIMBA by AYANA Facilities
When it comes to activities, AYANA resort doesn’t disappoint.
After checking in, we are immediately impressed to find activities galore easily available to us across the entire AYANA estate! Among the included resort activities are three water slides, a private beach, jungle trails and a monkey forest, three gyms, and yes, 14 swimming pools to choose from!
For resort guests, there’s also free access to Saka Museum, AYANA Farm, and the stunning private Kubu Beach. The Saka Museum showcases Balinese art and culture, with fascinating exhibits on local history, and religious practices.
At AYANA Farm, families can explore the lush organic gardens, and learn about sustainable farming practices.
For an additional cost, guests may choose to visit the luxurious AYANA Spa, perfect for relaxation with its extensive menu of treatments. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy a round at the 18-hole minigolf course, suitable for all ages.
For a hands-on experience, AYANA farm also offers fun workshops such as traditional herbal remedies and cocktail/mocktail making, where guests can learn to create their own refreshing drinks using fresh, local ingredients.
While some pools are for adults only, there are plenty of others, and we fall in love with the ambiance of the various resort pools, each offering a mix of relaxation and recreation.
AYANA Resort Bali features two kids pools (one conveniently located at RIMBA!) both of which have Kids Clubs located nearby.
At RIMBA, the kids’ pool, part of the expansive Lower Pool area, includes a fun water slide with a supervisor on hand at the slide entrance for added safety. The Lower Pool is the largest swimming pool at RIMBA and also features a swim-up Pool Bar and a relaxing whirlpool.
Tucked into the greenery near AYANA’s Kids Club pavilion, the other children’s swimming pool features two fun water slides! The small playground doesn’t disappoint, either.
It’s a comfortable and secure space, meaning that your little ones can explore, learn, and play in a safe and welcoming environment, while you soak up the sun and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
AYANA Kids Clubs
AYANA Resort Bali has two fantastic Kids Clubs, one located at RIMBA and the other at the main AYANA Resort, both designed to keep children entertained and engaged throughout their stay.
The Kids Club at RIMBA offers a spacious soft play area with a slide, games, arts and crafts, and fun activities tailored for younger guests, ensuring plenty of creative and interactive play.
Over at the AYANA Kids Club, children can enjoy a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, including a shaded playground and engaging educational programs. Both Kids Clubs are conveniently located near the resort’s pools, allowing parents to relax nearby while their little ones enjoy a safe and fun-filled environment.
