Amankila – A Tranquil Cliffside Haven in East Bali

Perched gracefully along the contours of an escarpment between two headlands in Eastern Bali, Amankila—meaning “peaceful hill” in Sanskrit—offers a serene beachside escape amidst breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Overlooking the shimmering waters of the Lombok Strait, the resort lies near the traditional villages of Candi Dasa, Padang Bai, and Tenganan, in the heart of Bali’s most historic regency, Karangasem.

Set within a lush 6-hectare estate, Amankila blends elegant design with timeless Balinese aesthetics. The main building unfolds over three terraced levels: the Arrival Court and Lobby sit at the top, followed by a Bar and Restaurant, and finally the Library, Gallery, Boutique Shop, and Terrace Restaurant, all with panoramic ocean views.

A centerpiece of the resort is the three-tiered infinity pool, seemingly cascading toward the sea. A short walk down leads to the Beach Club, nestled in a coconut grove beside a secluded beach. Here, guests can enjoy an informal restaurant, a 41-meter pool, sun loungers, lounging bales, and water activities such as kayaking, boogie boarding, and hobie cat sailing.

Amankila’s free-standing luxury suites, elevated for unobstructed sea views, reflect the grace of Balinese architecture and craftsmanship. Interiors showcase a refined combination of terrazzo, timber, and mirrored glass, offering both comfort and understated elegance.

Whether swimming, cruising, snorkeling, or exploring the surrounding villages and temples of East Bali, guests at Amankila are immersed in the island’s enduring cultural spirit and natural splendor.
