Amankila  

Perched on Bali’s east coast in Karangasem Regency, this hilltop ocean-view resort faces the Lombok Strait with Mount Agung as a dramatic backdrop. It’s within easy reach of Denpasar (DPS) airport and sits near the Amandari resort.

Raised on stilts with alang-alang thatch and paras-stone motifs, the property has 31 suites—nine with private pools—decorated with inlaid pearl and coconut-shell furniture. Suites offer canopied king beds, a living area, large bathrooms with soaking tubs and outdoor terraces, plus garden or ocean views. A library hosts daily afternoon tea while staff in traditional dress serve Indonesian ginger tea and Bali kopi.

A three-tiered infinity pool cascades down the hillside like a rice paddy, and there are secluded private beaches for romantic dining. The spa offers traditional Balinese baths, scrubs, wraps and open-air treatments; some treatments incur extra charges. On-site facilities include a restaurant, bar, library, parking, 24-hour reception and wireless internet—perfect for waking up to sea-breeze mornings and ocean panoramas.

Suites include a work desk and the resort provides wireless internet access and 24-hour reception for business-friendly convenience.

Main dining venues and a bar serve regional flavors and light bites, with daily afternoon tea on the library steps featuring local cakes, Indonesian ginger tea and Bali kopi. For special occasions, secluded-beach dining delivers a private, oceanfront experience.
