InterContinental Bali Resort has announced the opening of the Sayana Lounge – a dedicated arrival and departure lounge for early-arriving and late-departing guests. In Sanskrit, Sayana (सायन) means a place for a temporary rest or laying down before continuing the long journey to Ayana. In Sanskrit Ayana means “Our true goal, direction” or more specifically “a good path” in terms of one’s life journey.
Located on the ground floor of the resort, this purpose-designed resting place offers lockers, showers and changing facilities as well as a plush lounge and open-air terrace, which guests can enjoy free of charge until either their room is ready or until their time of departure.
The chic and elegant 24-hour lounge resonates with the essence of Bali showcasing local craftsmanship and intricate wood-carved accents, such as door handles and wall hangings. Local materials have been utilised in the design, including teakwood furnishings, marble vanity units and parquet floors, to ensure that the ambience of the island greets guests upon their arrival or remains with them until the moment of their departure.
Synonymous with the style of the resort and in harmony with its engaging, contemporary décor, the air-conditioned lounge is furnished with comfortable seating, including two sofas and a refreshment bar with high chairs. It is thoughtfully equipped with an international-channel TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, universal power points and a complimentary tea- and coffee-making facility as well as water and biscuits. Outside the main lounge is a large open-air verandah, with plentiful cushioned seating overlooking the resort’s beautiful lagoon.
Sayana Lounge also provides eight lockers for the storage of suitcases and bags, two of which are walk-in and family-sized with the capacity for a large quantity of luggage and personal effects. Each locker features a combination lock that guests can set with their own PIN. Adjacent to the lockers is a wide space where guests can comfortably open, unpack or repack their luggage upon suitcase tables positioned at the optimum height. A wash room area with a non-slip marble floor presents three private walk-in showers and changing rooms.
