DAVA Restaurant Fact Sheet

OVERVIEW & LOCATION

The signature restaurant at AYANA Resort and Spa Bali, Dava serves world-class global cuisine in a chic modern setting.

Located on the western side of the resort adjacent to the Cliff Villa Lobby, Dava's elevated position affords spectacular views across the Indian Ocean and the dramatic coastline of Bali's southern peninsula. The word Dava is Sanskrit for 'water', and this is also the theme of the design by Tokyo's Koji Takeda, who used stunning water features and pools to create a tranquil, sleek space.

FACTS & FIGURES

Opened: December 2004
Designed by: Koji Takeda
Glass artist at The Martini Club: Seiki Torige
Executive Chef: William Gumport (USA)
Capacity: Main dining area 68 people seated

  • Private Dining Room I: 10 people seated
  • Private Dining Room II: 12 people seated
  • Private Dining Room III: 10 people seated

Regular opening hours: Breakfast 7am – 10.30 am (a la carte style)
Dinner 6.30pm – 11.00pm

DESIGN FEATURES

Dava’s water-themed design is contemporary and sleek with a layout resembling a lotus flower. An impressive open kitchen and large wine cellar are located at the ‘base’ of the flower looking out over the ‘petals’ that comprise the dining areas. The entire space is surrounded by shimmering water features and pools. Highlights of the interiors include striking all white marble floors, furnishings in brushed mink tones, circular dining booths, indoor and outdoor seating areas, and crisp all white table settings using designer porcelain tableware, silver and glass.

Three exquisitely appointed private dining rooms, two with floor to ceiling glass windows, are available for more intimate or exclusive affairs.

The seductive Martini Club adjacent to Dava serves the most decadent range of Martinis devised by one of the world’s most respected Martini men, Maestro Laval Lim-Ho, who has mixed cocktails during his 30-year career for celebrities, legends and royalty. These include Prince Rainer and Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, Liza Minelli, Shirley Maclean, Clint Eastwood, Barry White and most aptly, producer of the James Bond films and Martini aficionado himself, Albert Brocoli. The striking design includes a bar made from recycled glass by renowned artist Seiki Torige, and under-lit by illuminated fibre-optic cables. It is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner aperitif, sunset cocktail or a post-dinner cognac.

MENU

William Gumport’s cooking style is characterized by classic technique and the freshest ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible, to create a modern Western menu that is simple, light and full of flavor. The nightly Degustation tasting menu, allowing diners to sample six different dishes with or without wine pairing, changes at least every week to reflect the availability of the highest quality ingredients

Rock Bar Fact Sheet

OVERVIEW & LOCATION

360-degrees of sheer glamour, on the rocks.

Located on natural rocks 14 meters above the Indian Ocean at the base of AYANA’s towering cliffs, this innovative open-top bar is Bali’s most glam sunset destination. Soak up the chic ambience and superstar views as the rhythm of the ocean merges with the funky tunes vibing from the DJ booth carved into the cliff-face.

The location is not the only thing ‘on the rocks’. Each signature cocktail created by Michelin-star F&B Executive Marc Dobbels is served in a chic glass suspended over natural rocks, within an ingenious fish-bowl base. A delectable selection of tapas is also served ‘on the rocks’, on natural stone plates. Even your bill is presented ‘on the rocks’, as waves break below and stars glitter above, with only the sea between you and the horizon. You couldn’t get any closer to the sunset without setting sail.

Designed by: Yasuhiro Koichi (Design Studio SPIN, Tokyo)

DESIGN FEATURES

The bar’s minimalist design maximizes the natural beauty and layout of the rocky outcrop on AYANA’s Kisik Beach. Either side of the rock, two timber platforms featuring comfortable sofas provide additional viewing points. One is accessed via a natural cave, a unique entrance that leads to a ‘secret’ garden over the beach.

Koichi’s signature style is evident in the use of traditional materials, motifs and colors, which are given a contemporary edge with cutting-edge lighting and clean lines. The bar is open to the elements with nothing to block the fresh sea air and the changing colors of the sky above. Jutting out from the cliff-face, crystallized rocks hundreds of years old add natural glitter to this spectacular venue.

MENU

The Rock Bar’s beverage menu has been carefully compiled by General Manager Charles de Foucault, a former Sommelier, and Michelin-star F&B Executive Marc Dobbels. The wine list features premium labels from Australia, New Zealand, Chile, California and France, and an extensive range of top-shelf Aperitifs and Bitters, Sherry and Port, Scotch and Single Malts, Cognac and Liqueurs.

The cocktail list includes more than 40 classic and contemporary creations such as Lychee Ginger Spring, Balinese Slipper, Mangotini and the sublime Pink Orchid made with Vanilla Vodka. A selection of Martinis you would travel across oceans for has been devised by one of the world’s most respected Martini men, Maestro Laval Lim-Ho, who has mixed cocktails during his 30-year career for celebrities, legends and royalty such as Prince Rainer and Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, Liza Minelli, Shirley Maclean, Clint Eastwood, Barry White and most aptly, producer of the James Bond films and Martini aficionado himself, Albert Brocoli.

A small selection of delectable tapas dishes and desserts is also available.
