Check availability Official websiteAmankila is located on the hill of Indrakila near Manggis in Karangasem Regency in eastern Bali, Indonesia. The setting places the resort close to traditional villages including Candi Dasa and Tenganan, where traditional crafts are still practiced.
The resort overlooks the Lombok Strait with Mount Agung, a volcano revered as the home of the gods in Balinese culture, providing the visual and cultural backdrop. This positioning in eastern Bali distances the property from the more developed central and southern regions of the island.
Amankila is a 1.5-hour drive from Bali's Denpasar Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS). The journey to eastern Bali is longer than travel to central areas like Ubud or southern beach resorts, but round-trip airport transfers are included with accommodation.
Travel times between Aman properties in Bali by car are: Amankila to Amandari (in Ubud) is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, and Amankila to Aman Villas at Nusa Dua is approximately 2 hours.
Amankila was designed by architect Ed Tuttle and opened in March 1992, becoming the third Aman property to open in Bali after Amandari and Amanusa. Tuttle's design was inspired by the palaces of Ujung and Tirtagangga, traditional Balinese architectural works.
In designing Amankila, Tuttle emphasized: 'Respect for both the cultural context of the location and the potential impact of the structures on the surrounding environment is fundamental.' The main building complex is clad with blonde stone and adorned with Corinthian columns, featuring a trademark outdoor staircase that descends to the three-tiered infinity pool built into the cliff edge.
