Set within the grounds of AYANA Bali in Jimbaran, SAKA Museum stands as a new cultural landmark where Bali’s living traditions meet modern design. Its bold architecture balances clean contemporary lines with the island’s natural rhythm. Inside, the use of stone, wood, and natural light reflects the harmony found in Balinese rituals and landscapes.
The museum’s setting blends naturally with its surroundings, featuring landscaped gardens that allow nature and architecture to connect seamlessly. Every detail feels intentional, from the gentle curves of the galleries to the movement of light across the exhibits.
