Bale Kencana at AYANA
Outdoor traditional Balinese wedding venue at AYANA Estate, Jimbaran
Bale Kencana is the traditional Balinese venue at AYANA Estate, above Jimbaran Bay. It is built around a thatched bale with stone pathways and a Balinese split gate, and the pavilion opens toward the ocean so the water sits behind the ceremony. Where Tresna Chapel on the same estate reads clean and modern, Bale Kencana carries the island’s own architecture.
It is an intimate venue, sized for around 30 seated at a ceremony and about 50 at a reception. That scale keeps the whole guest list close to the couple, which suits smaller weddings that still want a five-star setting and full resort support.
We often pair Bale Kencana with a larger reception space elsewhere on AYANA Estate for couples who want the traditional ceremony and a bigger party afterward. Capacity figures here come from AYANA’s published listings, and we reconfirm venue hire, catering, and styling with the resort for your date.
