Designed as freestanding beach houses, each of the Pool Suites feature traditional Indonesian thatched roofs, large living and sleeping areas, an outdoor terrace, a generous bathroom and their own private swimming pools.
Guests can experience true Balinese holistic care at the Amankila, with its extensive facilities that can cleanse the body and feed the mind.

Swimming Pools
Amankila is home to a number of pools, including a 134-foot outdoor pool located by the beach club, as well as its signature pool (pictured below). Consisting of three tiered, aquamarine pools stacked on the cliff edge, Amankila's signature pool was inspired by the design of traditional Balinese rice terraces.
The resort offers exotic regional and contemporary international cuisine, in a large restaurant over looking the sea. Guests may also request private dining either in their suites or idyllic secluded locations around the resort. Local Balinese dancers and school children perform traditional dances daily, which guests may enjoy during mealtimes.
