Frequently Asked Questions
Payment
Currency
The currency in Bali is the Indonesian Rupiah (Rp). Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so it's recommended to check them regularly. Major credit cards and travelers' checks are accepted at major hotels and restaurants, but some places may charge a fee. Additionally, credit cards and travelers' checks may be restricted or not accepted at all in shopping centers and small shops around town, so having cash in Indonesian Rupiah is convenient. Currency exchange from foreign currencies like Japanese Yen and USD to Indonesian Rupiah can be done at hotels and money exchange offices in town. ATMs are available in major tourist areas.
Exchange Rate
Due to the financial climate, fluctuations in currency exchange rates can be both sudden and drastic. We would therefore like to advise you of the following: Guaranteed Rupiah prices: the prices quoted in Rupiah are guaranteed and fixed when you settle your hotel account in Rupiah currency. Credit card: According to Indonesian law, settlement by credit card is charged in local currency. AYANA Resort and Spa takes no responsibility for subsequent exchange rates or other fees applied by your credit card provider during your stay or after your departure.
Tipping
Tipping is not expected, though welcomed. Most restaurants and hotels include a service charge in the bill.

Nyepi/Day of Silence
Nyepi/Day of Silence
To mark the Balinese Hindu New Year, the Balinese celebrate an annual ‘Day of Silence’ known as Nyepi. It is a wonderful time to visit the island, especially for guests who are interested in the unique traditions that underpin Balinese Hinduism. A spectacular procedure of ceremonies, parades of great bamboo monsters, and fireworks occur on the Eve of Nyepi, followed by a day of total silence and seclusion when the Balinese will pray and meditate to cleanse the island of evil spirits. For more information on Nyepi activities, please contact fb.reservation.bali@ayana.com
People/Religion
The Balinese are one of over 300 ethnic groups in Indonesia. The majority of the population adheres to Agama Tirtha, which translates to the religion of the holy water.

Wedding
Will my marriage in Bali be legally recognized?
The Indonesian Government's requirements for arranging legally binding marriage vows are quite specific. Once these guidelines are met the legal formalities are relatively easy to manage. When a couple decides to get married in Bali our Bali-based agent files all of the necessary paperwork with Indonesian authorities. Originals of all legal and religious documentation must be brought to Indonesia and shown as proof before the ceremony takes place. Once these documents and certificates have been arranged and lodged your marriage is legally recognized.
Is there any special visa requirement?
Since February 2004, the Indonesian Government implemented a Visa on Arrival applicable to 21 countries and territories. It is advisable to contact your local embassy or Indonesian Consulate to inquire if your country is exempt from these regulations. In addition, all passports must have a minimum of 6 months validity on them.
What are the best months and best times to get married?
Bali has a wonderful year-round climate with tropical temperatures that are consistently around 30 degrees Celsius. Favorite times are mid-morning at 10:00 a.m., or 5:30 p.m. just before sunset to capture the spectacular glow cast over the Resort.
What do I do if it rains?
We always provide a backup venue for outdoor events. The backup venue will be at one of our indoor function rooms or outlet that is available on that day. The backup venue is to be determined by the resort, should the client wish to have a fixed allocated backup venue at a particular space, a blocking fee (non-refundable, non-transferable into other forms of utilization) will need to be paid for securing the space.
What type of celebrants conducts the marriage ceremony?
We have a range of celebrants offering religious and non-religious ceremonies, including options for Commitment Ceremonies, vows renewals, or affirmations. You may choose to have either a male or female celebrant or official to conduct your ceremony.
Are we able to write our own wedding vows?
Yes certainly. Our marriage celebrants encourage the input of the Bride & Groom to make their special day as intimate and personal as desired.
Will my ceremony be private if held in your resort?
AYANA Bali is surrounded by 90 hectares of land. All wedding venues are private, secluded, and secure with hotel staff and signage dedicated to protecting the privacy of all wedding guests.
How much time before my wedding should I start preparations?
At least 4 months before your wedding date is ideal to secure your booking and commence preparations. Subject to availability, the Resort may also accommodate requests within a one-month time frame.
Do I need to have a wedding organizer or wedding planner? Will there be an additional charge if bring my own?
For weddings with more than 80 guests, we highly recommend hiring a wedding organizer. A wedding organizer is crucial for managing your itinerary, as well as coordinating accommodations and transportation for your guests, especially those traveling from outside Bali. Their assistance can significantly reduce your stress on the wedding day.
There is no entrance fee for the wedding organizer. However, please note that fees apply for outsourced decorations, entertainment, wedding cakes, and fireworks.
Do you offer Photography or Video Services?
Packages and resort location schedules are offered at competitive rates in digital or print and vary according to individual budgets and options.
Do you have any on-site bridal boutiques?
