Amankila, which means "peaceful hill" in Sanskrit, is built along
the contours of an escarpment between two headlands in
eastern Bali. Located near the villages of Candi Dasa and
Padang Bai, the resort provides a beach getaway in
surroundings of privacy and quiet elegance. From here, guests
have an opportunity to explore the rich Balinese history
prevalent in this area of East Bali as well as enjoying swimming,
cruising and snorkeling.
The resorts main building consists of three levels: on the
uppermost level is the arrival court and Lobby; one level below
is the Bar and Restaurant. The Library, Gallery, Shop and
Terrace restaurant are all on the third level. All public areas
command spectacular ocean views across the Lombok and
Badung Straits. The main swimming pool is terraced through
three levels decreasing in size while appearing to descend into
the ocean. Steps from the central area descend to The Beach
Club, set within a coconut grove on the beach. The Club has an
informal restaurant, a 45 meter swimming pool and water
sport equipment.
