Amankila Hotel Resort, Bali Vacations, Honeymoons and Luxury Travel Packages Bali, Indonesia
Amankila (which means 'peaceful hill') opened in 1992 set on a cliffside overlooking the Lombok Strait in East Bali. Below the resort is its private stretch of sand and Beach Club. From the intimate, airy lobby, the views are already very much in evidence. The resort is close to Manggis, Candi Dasa, Tenganan and other villages in Karangasem, Bali’s most traditional regency.
Amankila Hotel Resort Accommodation
Amankila’s suites are elevated to take advantage of the spectacular views to the sea and surrounding hillsides. The 34 free-standing suites, with their alang alang roof thatching, are fashioned as beach houses with a twist. They reflect the lines and flow of their East Bali surroundings, in particular the royal water palace just outside Amlapura, the district capital. Suites are connected to the reception and restaurant area by stepped walkways.
Garden Suite: Each suite features a large bedroom with wide window views, a canopied, king-size bed and a writing desk. The bathroom is divided, with a window-side divan, a soaking tub and separate shower and toilet rooms which give way to coconut-shell dressing areas and double terrazzo vanities. The suite’s outdoor terrace is furnished with a daybed, coconut-shell table and rattan chairs.
Ocean Suite: These are identical to Garden Suites but have better Ocean views.
Pool Suite: Private swimming pools, enclosed within walls are featured in nine of the suites, three of which can be connected to deluxe suites and one to a superior suite if a family or group of friends wish to have more privacy.
Kilasari Suite: The Kilasari Suite, which takes its name from Amankila’s main temple, is perched high on the hillside, with views overlooking the sea and its own 12-metre infinity pool.
Indrakila Suite: Named after the green hill upon which Amankila sits, this suite enjoys privileged sea views past the temple point and far up the East coast, its own lounging bale and private pool.
Amankila Suite: This suite includes two separate pavilions opening onto a large terrace with a private aquamarine-tile pool, two lounging bales, sun beds, lily ponds, limitless views over the beach and Amuk Bay and includes private butler service. It is ideal for guests who want complete privacy or for two couples who wish to stay together.
Amankila Hotel Resort Dining
The Restaurant, located above the main pool overlooking the ocean, is open for dinner. The menu features a mix of Western and Indonesian cuisine. Adjacent to the Restaurant is Amankila’s Bar, with its views to the sea. The Terrace, set just back from the signature three-tier pool is open for breakfast and lunch and serves Asian and Western cuisine. Afternoon tea is served daily in front of the Library, where local women dressed in sarongs and kebayas offer Indonesian ginger tea, Bali kopi and local Balinese cakes. The Beach Club offers a simple menu of salads, Indonesian and Western light dishes for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea. Private dining is available in the suites 24hrs a day.
Amankila Hotel Resort Facilities
Beach Club : The Beach Club is located at the base of the cliff five minutes below the main resort. Guests can either walk to the beach or be driven there in one of Amankila's open-air buggies. Set within a grove of coconut palms and partially shaded by a frangipani tree, is Amankila’s largest swimming pool. Windsurfers, boogie boards, kayaks and Hobie cats are located at the Beach Club. Amankila's staff will assist guests with water sports and provide lessons or sailing partners if required. Eight private lounging bales are set in the sand, each secluded amongst the foliage for added privacy. Drinks and light meals can be enjoyed here.
Swimming Pools: Aside from the Beach Club pool, Amankila’s signature three-tier pool dominates the landscape just below the lobby. Set into the cliff-edge, the blue-tiled pools face the sea and flow one into the other, stepping down like terraced fields. The main pool is 41 metres in length.
Library: he Library is rimmed with floor-to-ceiling windows. Oversized daybeds allow guests to relax and enjoy the wide selection of books, newspapers and magazines.
Gallery and Shop: The Gallery and Shop has a generous selection of Balinese art, crafts and antiques.
Massage and Beauty Treatments: Traditional Balinese massage and beauty treatments are available in the privacy of the guest suites, in the specially-designated massage pavilion or at the Beach Club where two teakwood massage tables are hidden away in a grove of coconut palms and flowering bushes.
Amankila Bales: Tirta Sari bale is located up in the hills of East Bali offering spectacular views of rice fields, banana trees and Amuk Bay. Bale Abian Canang ('garden of offerings') is also set high on a hill overlooking coconut plantations and Indrakila Hill where Amankila is located. The ocean and coastal views stretch to Nusa Penida and even Lombok on a clear day. The scenic drive to Bale Abian Canang takes 15 minutes through a local village, Ulakan, where guests may observe the Balinese people going about their daily chores.
These bales are ideally placed as a picnic spot after a jeep tour, trek or cycle through the countryside.
Broadband: Wireless broadband connections are available in all resort accommodations and public areas.
Water Sports and Cruises
At the Beach Club, guests can boogie board, kayak, sail a Hobie-cat or windsurf. For cuising and snorkelling, Amankila offers two outriggers, designed after the jukung, a traditional Balinese fishing craft. Aman XII, a 50ft vessel with a large sundeck and shaded area, is used for the daily morning and afternoon cruises. Aman XVI is a 36ft vessel with sundeck and some shaded area used mainly for private sunrise or lunch cruises across to Nusa Penida. Snorkelling equipment is available onboard both boats. East Bali has some of the most beautiful dive sites in Indonesia catering to all levels of experience. Elephant coral, schooling baracuda, banded sea snakes and a WWII freighter shipwreck include some of the marvels divers can enjoy.
Other Activities
Trekking: East Bali offers some of the island’s finest trekking, ranging from walks through rural villages, tropical forests and terraced rice fields, to mountain climbs and temple visits. Amankila's guides are experts in the local terrain.
Mountain Biking: Amankila keeps six full-suspension mountain bikes for guest use. The downhill route leading to Sidemen is among the most popular, passing terraced rice fields and ending at one of the island’s famed textile villages. Guides are available for personalised tours which lead guests through the rice paddies and traditional villages. Guests might come across traditional activities such as rice harvesting or brickmaking during their trip.
Dances: Classical Balinese dance, coupled with an island feast, can be arranged. Enjoy the private performance and dinner at your suite or at the Beach Club.
