Amankila

Enchanting resort descending a tropical hillside above the Badung Strait. Thirty-four stone/thatched-roof villas are linked by a network of raised walkways, each air-conditioned unit featuring a pitched ceiling of woven bamboo, a terrazzo floor, a carved king canopy bed, an elegant bath and an inviting veranda. Request #34, #35 or #37 for the best sea views, and for extra privacy (but a longer walk to the Main House) opt for Ocean Suite #5, #6, #7 or #19. The temple-like reception hall descends in tiers to a stunning 135-foot tri-level infinity pool. Activities include snorkeling, guided hikes and cultural excursions. In-room massages are available.
