Amankila

Overlooking the Lombok Strait the secluded oasis of calm which is Amankila has the majestic Mount Agung as its backdrop. Meaning “peaceful hill”; Amankila in the regency of Karangasem on Bali’s east coast, is remote yet accessible, being only a one hour drive from Denpasar international airport. A long winding drive leads to the fragrant frangipani trees surrounding the lobby which affords spectacular views of the ocean and the signature three tiered pool.

The Experience

Open for dinner and situated above the main pool with views over the ocean, The Restaurant serves an eclectic mix of Indonesian and Western cuisine. Again with a mix of Asian and Western dishes on the menu, The Terrace is set back from the three tiered pool and is open for breakfast and lunch. During the day lighter dishes, salads and pizzas are on offer at the Beach Club. The library is the venue for an indulgent afternoon tea, where local women dressed in traditional sarongs and kebayas serve complimentary ginger tea, Bali coffee and local cakes.

Some guests will never wish to leave the beauty of the three tie signature pool, but there is a range of activities to experience both close by and at Amankila. Staff will be delighted to arrange excursions to villages famed for local arts and crafts. Expert guides will lead treks and walks through rural villages, rice fields and tropical forest. Mountain bikes are available for use, but for the brave at heart an exciting white water rafting excursion on the Telaga Waja River should not be missed. About 40 minutes from the resort the Sabay Bay stables offer riders of all levels the chance to see the local area on horseback. Cooking classes see guests make an early morning visit to a local market where they choose ingredients for a delicious Indonesian feast .The Beach club at Amankila offers kayaks, windsurfing and more, while a cruise on the outrigger Aman XII is perfect for snorkelling or just relaxation. Scuba divers will also delight in the clear waters and coral which teem with a wonderful variety of marine life.

Guests may enjoy traditional Balinese massages and treatments outdoors at Coconut Grove, hidden away among the palms and flowers, in the Massage Pavilion or in the privacy of their own suite.
