Announcing the official 2019 Forbes Travel Guide Rating list, again, The Villas at AYANA Resort, BALI is named among the world’s 5-star winners to receive this exclusive distinction.

Regarded as an unmatched benchmark in the hospitality industry since 1958, Forbes winners are evaluated against over 900 objective criteria with an emphasis on service. The ratings emphasize graciousness, thoughtfulness and personalized service: 75 percent of a hotel’s score is based on its level of service, while 25 percent is determined by the quality of its facilities.

For 2019’s awards, Forbes Travel Guide expert inspectors checked in and checked out of nearly 1,700 hotels, restaurants and spas around the globe. Completely anonymous at all times, each inspection is carried out to achieve the same level of service and amenities that the average guest would expect.  Forbes’ inspector describes The Villas at AYANA Resort, BALI as tranquil and private, creating a feeling one would expect from being in one of Bali’s most remote locations.

“Expect to get the royal treatment,” says Forbes. “Each villa comes with a private butler who is certified by the International Heilbron Hospitality UK, the same organization that trains butler for British royalty… For a fun indulgence, have a floating breakfast in your own private pool.”

Additional resort highlights mentioned by Forbes include guaranteed sunset reservations for villa guests at Rock Bar, BALI, the picnic experience at Kubu Beach Club, and private buggy service to whisk guests around the resort whenever they need.

The Villas at AYANA Resort, BALI is one of 210 resorts in the world, and one of only four properties in Indonesia to have obtained the Forbes 5-star award. As part of the acclaimed AYANA Resort and Spa, BALI, our villa guests also enjoy access to more than 15 dining options, 12 distinctive pools, one private beach club and the award-winning Thermes Marins Spa.

“I am beyond delighted,” commented Michi Sonoda, Director of Sales & Marketing. “To receive the 5-star award for The Villas at AYANA Resort, BALI again is an incredible achievement. It is wonderful to see our continued investment in our resort facilities, coupled with pioneering hospitality services, acknowledged with such a prestigious award. On behalf of our 1,400 team members, we would like to thank our guests for their unwavering support and Forbes for this wonderful recognition.”
