The magical Amankila, which means "peaceful hill," is located on a breathtaking stretch of coastline on the Lombok Strait, on a lush hill below the sacred Mount Agung. Built on stilts and connected by frangipani-lined paths through the treetops, the suites offer spectacular views, while a three-tiered infinity pool in the heart of the estate promises refreshment and the Beach Club leads to a private black sand beach. Part of Aman Resorts, widely regarded as one of the best hotel groups, Amankila is a prime example of this with its outstanding service as a luxurious hideaway in Bali.
The spa's therapies, which draw on the energy of East Bali, aim to achieve complete relaxation and presence in the moment—using natural ingredients. Special treatments include Cita Ening, a two-and-a-half-hour treatment that is similar to a purification ritual performed by a priest. A range of styles are available for your yoga practice, taught by local and foreign yoga teachers, including Hatha, Pranayama, and Vinyasa Flow. Test your balance on the slackline in the coconut grove, try your hand at beach golf, or relax by the pool at the Beach Club. The best way to discover Bali's nature is by bike, trekking, or on a guided tour of East Bali through the ancient village of Tenganan to the temples and royal palaces of the region.
With only 33 suites, there is a tranquil atmosphere in which you can fully enjoy the resort's breathtaking surroundings. Built on stilts, the suites are located on a green hill against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Agung and offer magnificent views of the Lombok Strait and a private beach. Nestled among the treetops, they are designed like Balinese beach houses with private outdoor terraces and alang-alang roofs, reflecting the lines and flow of their East Balinese surroundings. The suites are connected to the reception and restaurant area by steps and all feature amenities such as air conditioning, hairdryer, minibar, coffee machine and, on request, TV and DVD player.
Amankila serves exquisite Indonesian and international cuisine using produce from its own organic farm and the resort's garden. The restaurants on the hillside, by the pool, and by the sea all offer breathtaking views of the Lombok Strait. The resort celebrates the conviviality and warmth of a traditional family meal with a sustainable, seasonal focus. The menus reflect the richness of Bali's volcanic soil and waters, as well as the creative genius of the experienced chefs. From Western classics to sophisticated Indonesian cuisine, you can expect culinary delights of a very special kind here.
Inspired by the richness of local traditions and the innocence of the unspoiled habitat, Amankila created an exclusive hideaway resort overlooking the enigmatic turquoise waters of the Lombok Strait. Its peaceful location on the cliffs below the towering Mount Agung, surrounded by the tropical waters of the region, is the ideal retreat for romantic, spiritual, cultural, and rural activities. A picturesque infinity pool spans three levels, allowing you to experience different perspectives while swimming and refreshing yourself. Would you rather head straight to the sea? Then descend the few steps and make yourself comfortable on the fine sandy private beach. Here you will also find the Beach Club, which offers a wide range of cool drinks and small snacks as well as activities such as slacklining and beach golf.
