Amankila

Manggis, Indonesia

Amankila

The residence seems to have sprung from the very hill on which it stands, beneath the sacred Mount Agung, so naturally does its silhouette blend into the landscape. The hillside pavilions and villas are an ode to Balinese heritage in rattan and coconut wood, combined with the coolness of terrazzo floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows, openwork screens and mother-of-pearl inlays interplay beneath a high thatched ceiling. The epitome of this architectural philosophy is the Amankila Two-Bedroom Suite, overlooking Amuk Bay, offering a singular retreat within an estate where privacy is paramount. The rich depths of the Lombok Strait are a playground for surfers enjoying the island’s most sought-after waves. The creativity of Indonesian cuisine from land and sea unfolds here in all its rich nuances, in a setting where the sky and sea merge as the day dawns and fades.
