Bali｜Hidden Gem｜Whispers of Kubu in the Secret Realm of Ayana

In the early morning, as the ferry churns through the bustling Denpasar port, I am riding a cliff elevator vertically through time and space. The elevator leads down to Kubu Beach, hidden 90 meters below the cliff—a crescent bay sculpted by volcanic rock and white waves, always maintaining a noble silence. When the mechanical hum abruptly stops, the blue that greets you creates an illusion of deep-sea fish schools. Moving forward, stepping on the teak boardwalk softened by morning dew, the beach breathes in the unfinished tides of last night. Every grain of basalt sand is wrapped in golden morning light, resembling divine scattered guiding stardust. Let me reveal the secret private beach of Bali’s Ayana Hotel.

📍 Location: Private Beach of Ayana Resort, Jimbaran, Bali
⏳ Recommended Duration: 1 day (suggest staying 2 nights or more for a deeper experience)

🚡【How to Get There】
▪️ Each hotel area within the Ayana Resort has electric carts that take you to the cliff elevator, then take the elevator directly down.

🏨【Accommodation Tips】
✔️ It’s recommended to stay at least 2 nights! The resort is divided into four areas: Ayana, Ayana Villa, Rimba, and Segara, all sharing facilities including this Kubu beach.
✔️ Ayana Hotel is very large, with many restaurants and pools in the public areas. Most people first visit the Rock Bar and the H2O pool in the villa area. These popular spots are crowded, but the truly quiet and relaxing place is this beach.

💰 Average Cost: If staying at Rimba, about 1400 RMB per day, which is very affordable for Bali at this quality. Hotels further south in Uluwatu cost 5000 to 10,000 RMB or more.

🌅【Golden Time Schedule】
5:30-7:00 Chase the sunrise with very few people
9:00-11:00 Explore the reef pools during low tide
After 21:00 Moonlit beach stroll (with butler accompaniment)

💌 Final Thoughts:
Compared to Bali’s popular beaches and the poor water quality of Balangan public beach, this place feels like a hidden pearl tucked away in the bustling city area. The moment the elevator doors open, you will understand what “luxury in isolation” means. I suggest leaving a blank afternoon to do nothing but listen to the tides and read a collection of Neruda’s poems.
