A BYWORD FOR
PURE LUXURY
When one of the biggest global players in the luxury fashion world moves into the hotel business, you can expect the result to tick all the boxes for the cognoscenti, for whom nothing but the highest standards will do. Elite and exclusive, there are just two Bulgari hotels in the world - one in Milan, the other on the historic Bukit peninsula of Bali. PHOTOGRAPHY

DIVE INTO THE

ROCK BAR
Probably one of the world’s most breathtaking open-air settings for enjoying a sundowner, Rock Bar hangs 14 metres above the sea, on a rocky outcrop off the cliffs of Bukit. Whether you’re a Cosmo girl, or a Bintang boy, you’re unlikely to drink in anything quite as mouth-watering as the atmosphere and views at Rock Bar. Floating above the Indian Ocean, embraced by uninterrupted 360 degree views, and at high tide the invigorating whoosh of breaking waves exploding a few feet below. As the sunset fades, ingenious lighting takes over as the multi-levelled areas move into evening mood. Music pulses from the natural DJ booth set in the cliff, above the illuminated bar. Romantic, secluded & spectacular is the ambience at Rock bar on the oceanfront @ AYANA Resort & Spa and going down the cliff by cable-car adds to the James Bond tingle of this exclusive establishment. But whether you prefer your martinis shaken, or stirred, there’s no question that here they will always be spectacularly on the rocks…
