hotel description :
The rural heart of Bali, that beats to the rhythm of the wilderness, lies in the lush, traditional, and unspoilt, eastern countryside. Amankila, inspired by the wealth of the area's local tradition, and by the innocence of its unaltered habitat, created an exclusive ‘hideaway’ resort with views across the enigmatic turquoise sea of the Lombok Strait. Its peaceful cliff-side setting, beneath the towering Mount Agung, surrounded by the tropical spoils of the region is a sanctuary for romantic, spiritual, cultural and rural pursuits. Amankila or 'peaceful hill', opened in 1992 set on a cliff-side 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.

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. Wireless broadband connections are available in all resort accommodations and public areas.

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.

Swimming Pools
Aside from the 41m 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 down a stepped gradient similar to terraced fields.

Water Sports
At the Beach Club, guests can boogie board, kayak, sail a Hobie cat or windsurf.
For cruising 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 barracuda, banded sea snakes and a WWII freighter shipwreck include some of the marvels divers can enjoy.
