Amankila

Three staggered infinity pools cascade down a clifftop above the Lombok Strait, which tells you immediately what kind of resort Amankila is. Part of the Aman group's Bali collection, it sits in the quieter east of the island, where the coastline hasn't yet been rearranged by tourism. The staff field requests, from private beach dinners to snorkeling sessions, with the calm confidence of people who never say no. A Forbes Four Star property.
