Amankila – Bali’s Hilltop Haven of Elegance and Calm

Set high on Indrakila Hill with sweeping views over the Lombok Strait and framed by the majestic silhouette of Mount Agung, Amankila is a sanctuary of serenity envisioned by renowned architect Ed Tuttle. Inspired by the royal water palaces of Karangasem, the resort blends pale stone, thatched rooftops, and elevated teakwood suites that seem to float above lush tropical gardens. Its celebrated three-tier infinity pool cascades toward the ocean in shimmering steps, evoking the artistry of Bali’s rice terraces while framing unforgettable panoramas of the island’s eastern coastline.

An Idyllic Retreat in East Bali

Each standalone thatched suite is gracefully raised on stilts, offering sweeping views of the sea or gardens. Private terraces with inviting daybeds invite moments of reflection, while select pool suites offer secluded plunge pools and sunken outdoor baths. Interiors reveal understated refinement—coconut shell inlays, handwoven rattan, and intricate wooden screens—seamlessly integrated with the natural beauty surrounding them.

Wellness and Experiences with Soul

Amankila’s wellness philosophy draws deeply from nature and tradition. The spa’s signature Cinta Therapy begins with a cleansing body scrub, continues with a rose-petal bath, and concludes with a restorative aromatherapy massage—offered in serene massage pavilions or by the beach. Yoga and pranayama unfold in a seaside bale, where ocean breezes and the sound of waves guide each breath.

Guests can dive, kayak, or snorkel along the coast from the Beach Club, or ride horseback across the island’s striking black-sand shores. Dining celebrates East Bali’s abundance, from fresh seafood and organic produce to artisanal meats, with Indonesian classics and refined Italian cuisine served at Arva. Candlelit dinners on the beach or leisurely picnics at Tamansari bale deepen the connection to land and sea.

Discovering Eastern Bali’s Heart

Close to Bali’s spiritual and cultural treasures, Amankila offers tailored excursions to storied water palaces such as Ujung and Tirtagangga, guided visits to artisan villages, and treks along volcanic ridges. Each experience blends nature’s grandeur with the island’s living traditions, creating moments that resonate long after departure.
