Hiding on a lush hillside beneath the sacred Mount Agung is Amankila. Yes, we know a stay here doesn’t come cheap, but a vacation at this resort is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You can expect Aman’s famous hospitality and services, paired with breathtaking views of Bali’s less-explored rural coast.
The spacious suites staggered on a hillside, overlook the Lombok Straits. They’re crowned by alang-alang roofs and are decked with coconut-shell and rattan furniture. Each stay comes with a daily a la carte breakfast and traditional afternoon tea, a scheduled shuttle around Manggis and Candidasa area, morning yoga, and the use of non-motorised watersports equipment.
For a respite from the heat, take a dip in Amankila’s three-tier infinity pool, inspired by the nearby water palace at Ujung and Mount Agung. Alternatively, sip on a cocktail or two at the Beach Club, located in a peaceful coconut grove with direct access to the private black-sand beach.
