Amazing ! Re (Renaldi) our tour guide was informative and engaging, and my friend & I had a fantastic time ! We learned so much about the herbs, the process, culture and most importantly sustainability ! :) Lucky for us it was a beautiful sunny day which added to the magic of the farm experience. We did a one hour tour of the farm and got to taste different herbs fresh from the garden. My personal favorite was the 'Sweet Leaf' which tasted like peanut butter ! (crazy).
They provide a cute Balinese hat and insect repellent made from their home-grown lemon grass. Little touches like this add to the experience. If you happen to dine at AYANA, all their herbs, fruits & vegetables come from this farm :) We did a small activity where we planted our own sapling and watered it (I found this very cute!). Ended the session with some sweet juicy sugar cane.
Overall, definitely felt like a real-life 'Animal Crossing' moment and would definitely come back for their workshops. Thanks...

Before infusing the gin and creating cocktails, the lovely and knowledgeable farm hands walked us through the farm to sample the fresh ingredients and show us all the food that is grown on the farm to serve the majority of the restaurants on the property. They helped us pick the botanicals we then infused with our gins to make our cocktails. I highly recommend partaking in one of the many experiences offered on...
Read moreWe had a wonderful experience at the Ayana Farm. Andika and Hari were both amazing hosts who took their time in explaining various aspects of how the farm works and how it factors into the culinary operations at the resort. We learned how Ayana carefully utilizes their farm to truly bring the “farm to table” experience to its guests. The tour was very educational and it truly reflects how committed The Ayana Resort is to sustainability and responsible use of the land it sits on which we deeply appreciated. The afternoon tea part of the tour was a great way to tie it all together and the food and drink selection was truly diverse and delicious by design which showed how much thought went into creating the...
