Amankila
On Bali’s quieter east coast, Amankila cascades down a hillside toward the Lombok Strait with iconic pools, expansive pavilions and a rare sense of old-school resort romance.
Amankila occupies a steep hillside in Manggis on Bali’s east coast, far from the island’s busiest resort areas and looking across the Lombok Strait.
The resort’s architecture follows the terrain through a series of elevated pavilions and terraces. Its three-tiered swimming pool remains one of Bali’s most recognizable hotel designs.
Guest pavilions are large and open, with terraces that frame the sea, gardens or surrounding hills. Higher categories add private pools while preserving the same quiet, uncluttered aesthetic.
A private beach club below the resort, coastal cruising and access to eastern Bali’s temples and villages broaden the experience beyond the hillside itself.
Amankila is ideal for travelers who want a more secluded side of Bali, combining strong architecture and service with a part of the island that still feels noticeably less developed.
