Rock Bar at the Ayana Resort in Bali must have been one of the most breath taking bars I've been too. It's situated on a rock at sea, with beautiful views of the setting sun and delicious cocktails.
To get to the bar, one would have to walk through the vicinity of Ayana Resort, which, might I add, is beautiful. The bar is situated at the cliff edge of the resort where you'd have to take a cable car down to the bar. Yes, it's really situated on a rock and yes, if the waves are big enough and accompanied by gushing winds, you will be sprayed a little; but it's worth it!
The music here is perfectly suited to the ambience. The
bar opens it's doors at 4pm and it's on a first come first serve basis. To watch the sunset, we got to the bar way before 5:30pm to secure a seat as by 5:30-6:00pm there is a long queue at the cable car to get down and all the tables are taken up. It's is hot but they provide umbrellas to shade yourself from the heat as the bar is completely open without any shade. I love this place cause:
The ambience is amazing.
The music accompanied by crashing waves and the cool breeze is just bliss to a hot sunny day. As the sun sets, the change in colours of the clouds with the ambience you're in, is just breath taking.
The cocktails are delicious.
So far the cocktails I've order have yet to disappoint me, except for maybe the Piñacolada. But apart from that the drinks are good and packed up with alcohol!
One of the best places close to Kuta to watch the sunset over the sea in class, peace and relaxation.
Yes, it's all that rolled into one. The sunset over the sea is beautiful but to watch it sitting down with a cool glass of cocktail, great ambience and just enjoying the sea, is a whole other experience. I first though it was over rated when I heard people raving about until I got here. It is something.
