The Sanctuary of Amankila
Mount Agung provides a dramatic backdrop for Amankila (‘peaceful hill’), a secluded seaside resort overlooking the Lombok Strait in East Bali. The 33 free-standing suites offer exceptional sea views from their hillside settings, and are connected to the resort’s restaurants and other facilities by raised walkways. Guests can relax around the signature three-tier swimming pool or at the Beach Club. This offers another swimming pool and a restaurant set back from the private beach in a tranquil coconut grove.
Situated in Karangasem, one of Bali’s most traditional regencies, Amankila offers easy access to untouched countryside, local crafts, and the region’s royal water palaces. From private sunrise sails on the Lombok Strait aboard the resort's outrigger to cultural blessings and treks through sacred volcanic hills, Amankila delivers an intimate immersion into the spiritual soul of Bali.
