The 90-hectare Ayana Resort Bali has opened several new facilities this year that are suitable for corporate gatherings – the Saka Museum, After Rock, and Tevanna Garden.
Currently at its soft opening stage, Saka Museum offers two indoor function areas – the East Gallery, and a small meeting room for 10 pax – as well as an outdoor space on the rooftop, Saka Garden, good for 400 pax cocktail-style.
An event at the museum will also enable guests to access current exhibitions, such as a heritage gallery devoted to Balinese material art and an immersive Nyepi experience. There is also an upcoming exhibition exploring the UNESCO-recognised Subak agriculture system.
Hong Kong-based Napp Studio & Architects designed Saka Museum – their biggest project to date – to reflect Bali’s distinct spiritual and cultural landscape. Co-founders Aron Tsang and Wesley Ho drew on Nyepi, the island’s annual Day of Silence, to guide visitors through an introspective experience.
The museum’s lobby features a dark, subtly-lit ceiling resembling the constellations of Bali’s night sky. The space transitions to a soft glow at sunset, when 3,000 LED lights begin to twinkle, an effect achieved through a carefully arranged grid of lights that conceals structural elements and fixtures.
A bridge connects the museum to After Rock, a night lounge that debuted in June 2024 and is ideal for after parties. Adjacent to Saka Museum lies Tevanna Garden, a Japanese-inspired garden inaugurated in October 2024, which can be used for teambuilding activities.
The sprawling Ayana Bali resort is currently home to four hotels, 15 meeting and event venues, 30 dining venues, and a business centre. Recreational amenities on-site include 14 freshwater swimming pools, an 18-hole golf putting course, two tennis courts, a jogging track, two fitness centres, and two kids’ clubs.
