The Amankila Resort, Bali is set between Manggis and Candidasa, on a cliffside overlooking the Lombok Straits.

Amankila’s 35 free-standing suites, with their alang alang roof thatching, respond to their East Bali surroundings, in particular to Ujung, the royal water palace just outside Amlapura, the area’s capital. Each suite features a large bedroom with wide window views, a canopied, four-pillar bed, a writing desk and music system. The bathroom is divided into two distinct sections. A deep soaking tub and a divan face each other, each backing on to large, double windows. A separate shower is located next to the tub, while the toilet room is adjacent to the divan. A separate space is dominated by double terrazzo vanities, fitted with seashell-finished taps. Large coconut-shell dressing areas claim both ends of the rattan terrazzo-tiled room. The outdoor terrace of each suite enjoys a large daybed, a coconut-shell table and rattan chairs.

The Restaurant, located above the main pool and overlooking the ocean, is open for dinner. The menu features a mix of Western and Asian cuisine. Adjacent to the Restaurant is Amankila’s tranquil Bar, with its sea views. The Terrace, set just back of the main pool, is open for breakfast and lunch. The Terrace serves Asian and Western cuisine. Indonesian tea is available every afternoon from the library steps.

The Beach Club is set within a throng of tall coconut palms at sea level. Its centerpiece is a 45-meter, turquoise-tiled swimming pool. The Beach Club is the setting for Amankila’s weekly evening barbecues and Balinese dance performances. Snorkeling equipment, windsurfers, boogie boards, kayaks and Hobie cats are located at the Beach Club. Eight teak-wood lounging bales, each fitted with a daybed, are set in the sand just back of the high-tide line. Snacks and refreshments are served at the patio above the pool. Two massage beds are located in a grove of palms and flowering bushes close to the sea. (Guests can also take their massage or beauty treatments in the privacy of their suite.)
