Ayana voted among best spa resorts in Asia

JIMBARAN: The Ayana Resort and Spa Bali was voted one of the top 25 spas and resorts and top 25 leisure and conference hotels by Smart Travel Asia magazine's Best in Travel Poll 2009.

Ayana was third in the poll, while Bali was once again voted Asia's top holiday destination.

Ayana was also the only hotel in Bali - and Indonesia - to make the list of Asia's top 15 resorts in Travel + Leisure magazine's World's Best Awards 2009 readers' survey, and was ranked Bali's number one resort by leading Japanese travel magazine AB-Road. The honors come just months after Ayana rebranded to become an independent property under the management of the US-based West Paces Hotel Group.

"Once again, Ayana has been voted the top-ranking property on the world's top-ranking island, and all within a very short time after our rebranding," said general manager Charles de Foucault.

"We are delighted and honored to be in the company of Asia's most renowned properties, in the eyes of the discerning readers of Smart Travel Asia." - JP. News from thejakartapost.com
