Amankila Resort, Candi Dasa, Bali

Set on a cliff top, overlooking the Lombok Strait on Bali's, Amankila Resort is an ideal place to discover old Bali, its temples, villages and water places.

Amankila on Bali's east coast, is in the heart of one of the island's most untouched areas.

From spectacular views and seaside seclusion, to mountains and valleys rich with Bali's diverse culture, Amankila offers travellers a sanctuary for romantic, spiritual, cultural and active pursuits.

Aside from the Beach Club pool, Amankila's signature three-tier pool dominates the landscape. Set into the cliff-edge, the blue-tiled pools face the sea and flow one into the other, stepping down like terraced fields.

Guest activities include cycling, snorkeling & diving; cooking classes; cruising & sport fishing; kayaking, windsurfing & sailing.

Perched on the coast near the village of Manggis in East Bali, Amankila is blessed with a white crescent of private beach, incredible views of the Lombok Strait and cliff-side grounds around the three-tiered pool, sweet with the scent of frangipani and tuberoses. But this hideaway resort offers more than the simple pleasures of sand and sea.

The Restaurant, located above the main pool and 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.

Amankila is the ideal base from which to explore the cultural diversity and rich history of East Bali, a place of temples, palaces, rice paddies and ruins, of villages where crafts lost to the rest of the island are still practiced, and where religion is an intrinsic part of everyday life, seen both in colourful festivals and in simple daily offerings to the gods.
