Ayana is a massive resort, and getting around within the property is quite frequent. Whether you’re heading to a restaurant or exploring different areas of the resort, you’ll need to take the shuttle service.

For those staying at Ayana Villa, the resort offers a dedicated car service and private butler, making movement around the property even more comfortable and convenient. Wherever you need to go, you can enjoy exclusive transportation and personalized service.

Visitors here absolutely must not miss the experience of dining at the resort’s cliffside restaurant, where you can savor delicious food while taking in breathtaking ocean views.

The Viral H2O / River Pool

Unlike the past experience of taking photos freely without queuing at Ayana, the River Pool (H2O Pool) mentioned in the video now has new rules:


📸 The Queue Atmosphere: Like Participating in a Timed Competition

Ayana’s River Pool has strict photography rules, usually open from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM (or 9:30 AM). This period is like a “timed, limited, numbered” photo challenge:

  • 1-2 minutes per person: Staff will be on-site with timers, and once time’s up, you must vacate the spot—creating a very tense atmosphere.
  • Draw a number first, then wait for your turn: You can’t just arrive and start shooting; you must draw a number first. If you arrive around 7:45 AM, expect to wait about 30 minutes.
  • The waiting area feels like a photo exchange: While nervously waiting, people share tips on the best angles and poses, making the scene both fun and lively. Some tourists joked that the guys often get flustered by the timer.

💁‍♀️ Don’t Worry About No One to Take Your Photos—The Staff Are Super Professional

If you’re traveling alone or worried about your companion’s photography skills, don’t fret—the staff are more than happy to assist, and their skills are surprisingly good:

  • They’ll guide you on posing, finding the right lighting, and even run around to capture shots from different angles.
  • Many tourists are amazed afterward, saying, “The photos turned out even better than I expected!”

🗓️ Want to Successfully Capture Stunning Photos? Keep These Tips in Mind

Based on recent visitor experiences, to successfully check in, be sure to follow these recommendations:

  1. You must wake up early! It’s best to arrive between 6:30 - 7:30 AM. If you arrive at 8 AM, some have waited an hour and might even miss the photo opportunity.
  2. Where to Stay for Convenience? The River Pool is located in the VILLAS area of Ayana. But even if you stay at the more budget-friendly RIMBA or SEGARA, you can easily reach it via the resort’s free shuttle service, which runs every 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Most of Those Precious 1-2 Minutes When it’s your turn, don’t panic. Have 1-2 poses in mind beforehand. It’s recommended to save your favorite sample photos on your phone and show them directly to the staff for the most efficient communication.
  4. Photography Tips It’s recommended to use Live Photos or burst mode to avoid missing the perfect shot due to blinking or bad angles—after all, there’s no chance for a retake.

⚠️ A Friendly Reminder

The poolside can be extremely slippery, as several guests have already pointed out. There have been instances where people, including women, have slipped and fallen. While capturing great photos is important, safety should always come first.
