Timeless Seclusion Above the Lombok Strait


Perched on a lush hillside in East Bali, Amankila is one of Aman’s most iconic resorts serene, architectural, and profoundly discreet. Overlooking the Lombok Strait, this secluded sanctuary feels untouched by time, offering a level of calm that is increasingly rare.


This is not a place for trends or spectacle. Amankila is about space, silence, and balance.



The Setting


Amankila sits near the traditional village of Manggis, far from Bali’s busier regions. Tiered terraces cascade down the hillside, centered around the resort’s legendary three-level infinity pool, which visually dissolves into the sea beyond.


The location is intentionally remote ideal for travelers seeking privacy, reflection, and a deep sense of place.


Suites & Design


All suites are freestanding and inspired by traditional Balinese beach houses. High thatched roofs, polished wood floors, and open-air layouts create a seamless connection between indoors and nature.


Every suite features:

  • A private outdoor terrace

  • Daybeds overlooking the ocean or gardens

  • Thoughtful, minimalist interiors with Aman’s signature restraint


Luxury here is quiet, never excessive.



Dining Experience


Dining at Amankila is understated yet refined. Menus highlight Indonesian flavors, fresh seafood, and seasonal ingredients, served in open-air pavilions with panoramic views.


The atmosphere is intimate and unhurried more about conversation and setting than culinary theatrics.



Wellness & Experiences


Banyumala offers a grounded form of adventure.


The spa focuses on holistic wellness, incorporating local traditions and natural ingredients. Yoga, meditation, and personalized treatments are offered in tranquil surrounding.


Beyond the resort, guests can explore:

  • Private beach access and snorkeling

  • Cultural excursions to nearby villages and temples

  • Scenic walks through untouched landscapes


Amankila encourages slowing down deliberately.


Smart Luxury Verdict


Amankila commands premium pricing, yet delivers exceptional value through:

  • Timeless design

  • Rare tranquility

  • Impeccable, intuitive service


For travelers who understand that true luxury is calm, space, and discretion Amankila remains unmatched.
