Amankila

From its breathtaking hilltop spot above the Lombok Strait, Amankila’s panoramic views are the first step to discovering east Bali’s mix of spiritual and regal heritage. Balinese culture dictates design details throughout this enchanting resort, with recurring motifs referencing the ruins of the nearby water palace at Ujung, and a three-tier infinity pool spilling down the hillside like a cascading rice paddy. A series of delightful frangipani-lined walkways connect each of the resort buildings. Amankila’s gastronomy focuses on locally sourced ingredients, with traditional local techniques combined with contemporary cooking styles for revitalising cuisine. Enjoy perfectly crafted dishes in the ocean-view restaurant, or over private candle lit dinner on the beach, with a bonfire to brighten the night sky. Drawing on the energy of east Bali, the Spa’s therapies aim for complete relaxation and presence in the moment, while an extensive range of watersports can be enjoyed in the pristine waters lapping the resort.
