Amankila, Karangasem

Amankila is an Aman resort in Manggis, Karangasem, on a hillside above the Lombok Strait and below Mount Agung. Suites stand on stilts among the trees. A three-tier pool sits at the center of the resort, and the Beach Club leads to a private black-sand beach. The drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport is about an hour and a half.

Amankila is closed for seasonal maintenance and reopens on 20 January 2027. Ask us to quote dates after it reopens.

On the Bali Indonesia Tour, four nights in an Oceanview Suite include daily à la carte breakfast, a traditional Balinese decoration on arrival, a bottle of champagne, a two-hour private morning cruise, a Melukat water blessing, sunset satay in the hills, and a 60-minute Amankila massage for two.

Both resorts are paired on our Bali Indonesia Tour: four nights at Amandari in Ubud, then four nights at Amankila in Karangasem, with air from Los Angeles or San Francisco.
