The playground spans a variety of themed and interactive activity zones. At the heart of the experience is Sproutroots, an adventure playground tailored for older children. Sproutroots features a zip line, climbing structures, and nature-based play elements encouraging physical activity and teamwork.

 

For younger children and toddlers, Lumincave on the lower ground floor provides a soft-play haven designed to encourage sensory development and interactive learning. The space includes cushioned play structures, tactile experiences and engaging activities for young ones to develop motor skills.

AYANA Bali collaborates with Guidepost Montessori and Green Camp Bali, providing young guests with the opportunity to explore and discover through hands-on activities within AYANA’s vast natural surroundings. Green Camp AYANA welcomes children ages 7–12 to experience one of the world’s most sustainable and purpose-driven camps.
