Amankila

Situated on a cliff overlooking the Lombok Strait, this luxurious Aman property offers the best of old-style Bali. With expansive views and the fragrance of island flora drifting in on cool sea breezes, the airy lobby allows guests to relax the moment they arrive. Below is the resort's very own stretch of sand and a beach club that offers all you need for a memorable diving experience. Surrounding waters dotted with rock pinnacles boast giant tuna, manta rays and oceanic sunfish. On-site guest assistants can arrange PADI certification courses or simply advise on the best spots to swim through coral gardens adorned with feather stars, turtles, moray eels and barracuda.
