AYANA Spa, the award-winning wellness destination within AYANA Bali, the island’s largest integrated resort, has been recognized in Oprah Daily’s esteemed O-wards as one of the top destination spas in the world. This global accolade places AYANA Spa among an exclusive selection of wellness experiences rigorously curated by Oprah Daily’s editors and experts. The full list of Hotel O-Wards can be found online at www.oprahdaily.com/hotelowards2025 and in Oprah Daily’s 2025 Summer Special Travel Edition, on newsstands and Apple News June 3.

For Oprah Daily’s second annual 2025 Hotel O-Wards, editors focused on destination spas and crisscrossed the globe to find the 53 places you’ll never want to leave, with best-in-class healers, programs, and treatments. Offering everything from IV therapy to craniosacral massage, herbal scrubs to infrared saunas, the hotels featured take care of the caretakers.

Set across 2.2 hectares of tranquil tropical gardens, AYANA Spa features 47 treatment rooms, including one of the world’s largest hydrotherapy seawater pools and the iconic Spa on the Rocks, resting just above the Indian Ocean. The spa's wellness philosophy emphasizes deep healing, natural therapies, and personalized care rooted in Indonesian tradition and global innovation.

Among AYANA Spa’s most iconic experiences is the Thalassotherapy Pool, a restorative journey in warm, mineral-rich seawater sourced from the Indian Ocean. The expansive pool features jet massages, countercurrent walking zones, and strategically placed bubble baths that target acupressure points to stimulate circulation, ease tension, and support detoxification.

Guests seeking complete seclusion can indulge at Spa on the Rocks, perched on natural rock formations above the waves. This intimate retreat blends luxurious therapies with panoramic ocean views, creating a deeply serene, once-in-a-lifetime spa escape.

AYANA Spa also proudly honors Indonesia’s wellness heritage through its Traditional Therapies of Indonesia, a collection of time-honored treatments rooted in centuries of healing wisdom. These rituals combine massage, herbal infusions, and beauty techniques designed to restore balance and inner harmony.

“Being recognized in the Oprah Daily O-wards is a true honor and a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to restorative, holistic wellness and exceptional, personalized service,” said Jory Montilla, Director of Wellness of AYANA Bali. “At AYANA Spa, we believe in the power of nature, tradition, and innovation to transform the way our guests feel, both physically and mentally.
