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.

Guests may also request private dining either in their suites or idyllic secluded locations around the resort.
