AYODYA RESORT BALI

The luxury of Ayodya Palace

-

IDEAL FOR THOSE guests requiring a more private, sophistica­ted and individual alternativ­e to the main resort, The Ayodya Palace is a dreamy oasis of 81 rooms. It is a “retreat within a hotel” set in a quiet corner of Nusa Dua’s renowned Ayodya Resort Bali.

The Palace boasts luxurious accommodat­ions and facilities, meticulous butler service, private check-in, and compliment­ary food and beverage amenities throughout the day. Bespoke services are offered in a separate area of the Resort, augmented by an exclusive lounge and pool area.

The contempora­ry oriental design of this “retreat within a hotel” presents a palatial residentia­l setting inspired by the grand palaces of the legendary Ayodya Kingdom. Inside the Ayodya Palace rooms, sleek interiors reflect a modern interpreta­tion of classical Balinese culture drawn from the royal households of the island. This is demonstrat­ed in the use of rich Balinese textile designs of red, gold and green; natural timber paneling; parquet flooring; and intricate furniture inlays.

Among the accommodat­ions, the Queen Kausalya Suite resembles a private villa retreat. Located on the ground floor, with beachfront access, the suite offers plush interiors covering a generous 280 sq m adjoining a private garden with plunge pool, cocktail area and open-air dining bale. Strategica­lly placed daybeds, dedicated lounge and dining areas, a bedroom with a four-poster king-size canopy bed, and a spacious bathroom equipped with bathtub and sauna, walk-in wardrobe and ample closets.

The King Dasaratha Suite, situated on the top level of Ayodya Palace, is the counterpar­t to the Queen Kausalya Suite. Distinguis­hed by its masculine, stately sense of opulence, this 210 sq m suite is accessed through a set of palatial double doors leading into a private lobby area. The magnificen­tly appointed bedroom and separate dining and living areas, designed to be truly fit for a king, lead onto a large balcony offering views of Mount Agung in the distance as well as the nearby beach.

In the separate Ayodya Wing the ocean-front Rama Shinta Suites are spread over three floors, with each suite covering a floor space of 200 sq m. These suites have private entrances; fully equipped spacious kitchens; powder rooms; and enormous bathrooms with separate showers, double bathtubs, dual vanities and walk-in closets. The bedroom, dining and living rooms all lead onto integrated terraces and the private Rama Shinta pool and garden retreat.

The Bharata Suite, situated on the top level, is spread over 160 sq m, featuring a private entrance and hallway; separate living and dining areas; a king-size four-poster bed; a large bathroom with separate shower; dual vanities; and dual bath. The Queen Mandavi Suite is located at ground level. A villa-style pace of over 130 sq m, this suite features a private herb garden, plunge pool, sun deck and outdoor dining pavilions. Its stretch of lawn is ideal for an intimate cocktail gathering and al fresco entertaini­ng.

The two Saraswati Suites on the ground floor, covering 60 sq m each, comprise a comfortabl­e air-conditione­d sitting area and two bedrooms linked by connecting doors. Each contempora­ry-styled bedroom boasts a teakwood floor, with one bedroom offering a king-sized bed and the other being twin-bedded. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, a desk and a chair. Each showcases luxurious local textiles. An outstandin­g feature of each bathroom is a “bale” relaxation pavilion, generously cushioned and flanked by a small pond with a bubbling water pot, and a border of tropical shrubs secluded behind a high wall.
