Manggis, East Bali, Indonesia
Amankila
Amankila occupies a hillside above Manggis on Bali’s east coast, looking across the Lombok Strait: Aman’s cliff-and-pool grammar away from Seminyak density and south-coast corridor noise. Exclusive Villa Collection sends clients here when Bali should open to wider horizons: three-tier pool drama, suite terraces with strait light, and East Bali temple or village hours that still feel like a journey from Denpasar rather than a strip transfer.Suite and villa categories are confirmed for your dates; we match the key to how you host. Couples often want suite privacy with resort dining close; larger parties may want more terrace and pool adjacency. Plan My Trip sequences Amankila against Amandari inland or Nusa Dua villa scale so the island week has geography, not just hotel names.

The house
In stills
A first reading of the stay: rooms, light, and the quiet between them. Each still is a note, not a catalogue.
The Experience
How the days feel
Mornings open to strait horizon light; days move between the three-tier pool, suite terraces, beach club, and East Bali temple or village hours when the itinerary wants culture without Ubud’s full inland map. Evenings return to hillside dining and the quiet that comes when the south coast is someone else’s problem. Soft inclusions and beach access verify live with the house.
Exclusive Villa Collection holds the suite with transfers, boat asks when the strait allows, and celebration dining that peak weeks do not reward as walk-ins. Pair cleanly with Amandari when the week should hold gorge culture and cliff coast in one Bali arc. Plan My Trip when dry-season dates, multi-gen pacing, or East Bali temple calendars need one advisor thread before Manggis fills.
Why EVC loves it
Why we would send you here
- Three-tier pool and Lombok Strait light The cliff-and-pool architecture many travelers already know from photographs. The whole week matters as much: suite outlook, beach club, and East Bali pacing.
- Quieter than the southern strip Manggis air and temple country nearby without Seminyak density. We protect that reading in how we build the days.
- Natural pair with inland Bali Amandari for gorge and culture; Amankila for cliff and sand. Plan My Trip brings both together.
Inside the stay
The house, in notes
Where you sleep, what you eat, and how you arrive: the essentials, in brief.
Dining
The table
Resort dining with Indonesian and international cooking, and in-suite dining on request. Tables are best reserved with the stay in East Bali’s peak weeks.
Spa & Wellness
Quiet hours
Aman Spa for heat and salt recovery after pool and temple days, with treatments timed around boat and beach-club hours.
Beach / Pool
Water, when it is the point
The three-tier pool is the visual signature; beach club and strait access are the second register. Conditions and boat calendars are checked before you travel. Exclusive Villa Collection books water hours with the stay.
Who it is best for
Who feels at home here
Couples and small parties who want East Bali cliff quiet with Aman service; travelers sequencing temples and beach without Seminyak density; those pairing Amankila with Amandari for inland-plus-coast Bali. Not for travelers who need nightlife corridors or a walkable south-coast strip outside the hillside estate.
Getting there
The arrival is part of the stay
Ngurah Rai International (DPS) with resort transfer east to Manggis: typically longer than a south-coast hop; traffic and time of day matter. Your advisor arranges the car as part of the stay. Private aviation options discuss case by case.
Seasonality
When the house is open
Dry season roughly April through October favors pool and boat days; green months can be quieter, with rain. Holiday weeks and regional holidays are best reserved early. East Bali temple calendars are part of cultural pacing. We plan the days around them.
