Amankila

Located in Eastern Bali, Amankila is a Forbes Four-Star luxury hotel that offers an unforgettable experience with stunning views of the Lombok Strait. From its dramatic cliffside setting to its elegant villas and spectacular three-tiered infinity pool, Amankila will take your breath away.

Overview

Nestled in the stunning shadow of Mount Agung and just a 90-minute car ride away from Denpasar Airport, Amankila is an idyllic cliffside beach resort that overlooks the Lombok Strait in East Bali. Inspired by its surroundings, including nearby Taman Soekasada Ujung, and the Royal Water Palace, the 31 freestanding suites feature spectacular ocean views and private swimming pools.

Amankila's restaurant offers exquisite Western and Indonesian cuisine with breathtaking views out to sea. The bar serves a selection of drinks with those same beautiful ocean vistas. For something simpler, try the Terrace's selection of Asian and Western fare or salads and pizzas at the Beach Club, where guests can even take advantage of lounging bales on the beach.

Additional facilities at Amankila include a Fitness Pavilion, Massage Pavilion - complete with two teakwood massage tables hidden in the coconut grove - a Library, a Boutique, and Gallery showcasing Balinese art, crafts, and antiques as well as yoga classes held either in the coconut grove or even inside guest suites!

And for an even more enriching experience at Amankila, guests can choose from a range of activities such as watersports, cooking classes, snorkeling excursions, and sunset cruises. Or for those who are feeling adventurous, there are guided treks and cycling tours to explore local craft villages.

As tourism in Bali has become increasingly popular over the past decade, many parts of the island have been overrun with development and traffic congestion. But East Bali remains largely untouched and tranquil, making Amankila one of this paradise's best-kept secrets.

Highlights

Unwind and rejuvenate your mind and body at Amankila. Start off with a private yoga session tailored to suit your needs, and even learn a little Balinese laughter therapy along the way. Take some time to cool off in the 3-tiered infinity pool constructed into the cliff side, resembling famous Bali rice terraces. Order lunch or cocktails right to your lounge chair or personal thatched pavilion to make the most of your day by the pool. Unwind further with a Balinese massage on your suite's private Terrace while enjoying the waves in the background. For an extra special experience, take a sunset cruise along the coast on Aman XII, a 50-foot Balinese fishing craft. And for an unforgettable evening, arrange for a beach pig roast complete with bonfire and star gazing.

Things to Know

Nestled on the Indrakila coast of East Bali, Amankila is one of only a few luxurious beachside properties in this area. Although it takes an estimated hour to drive to Amankila from Denpasar International Airport, be aware that traffic congestion in Bali can often cause delays. Alternatively, a helicopter transfer can be arranged at Amankila.

The tropical climate of Bali creates hot and muggy conditions throughout the year. East Bali enjoys less rainfall than other parts of the island due to its proximity to Mount Agung, though insect problems remain constant, so don't forget your bug spray!

The private beach at Amankila can be accessed via a short walk or buggy ride from the guest rooms. There you will find the Beach Club, where you can take a dip in the lap pool or grab lunch with ease. For those looking for exercise options, there is an onsite workout facility available, although it requires prior reservation of the private room.

Air-conditioned for year-round comfort and enhanced by an onsite sound system, the bathrooms here are spacious, boasting a soaking tub, two vanities, and coconut-wood dressing areas.
