Amankila

Though some time has passed since my stay, the extraordinary experience I had at Amankila compelled me to set aside time to write this review. As someone who travels extensively and stays at the world's finest hotels, including several Aman properties, I can say with confidence that the service at Amankila is, without exaggeration, the best I have ever encountered. Many hotels achieve a 10/10 in service, but Amankila operates on an entirely different level—it was a 30/10. While the property itself possesses the serene, minimalist elegance that is the signature of the Aman brand, it is the staff that transforms a beautiful resort into a place you never want to leave. This culture of unparalleled hospitality clearly starts at the top with the resort manager, Ketut Gunartha, and permeates through every single employee. They are all simply remarkable. A few experiences highlight the team's incredible dedication: The talented pizza chef, accustomed to making Neapolitan-style pizza, went out of his way to prepare a completely different dough for me, creating the perfect thin-crust pizza I prefer. Astika, the restaurant manager, was the epitome of professionalism and warmth, ensuring every dining experience was flawless. Lanang, the front office manager, whose kindness and helpful nature made every interaction a pleasure and ensured our stay was seamless. The two masseuses, who have been with the resort for over two decades, provided one of the most sublime and restorative massages I have ever had. Their experience and skill were truly evident. The food was consistently excellent across the board, matching the high standards of the rest of the resort. Yes, a stay at Amankila is a significant expenditure, but it is worth every single penny. If you are on the fence about booking this hotel, I urge you to go for it. It's an experience you will not regret.

Let’s be honest — the place is stunning. Beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, flawless in every detail. Quality? Absolutely. Service? Professional, attentive. And yet… something’s missing. A certain degree of impersonality lingers — enough to enjoy the moment, but not quite enough to remember it.

Amazing service and really nice people. This said, the resort is kind of old now. Also there is little to do on the property as it’s small. The bay in front of the hotel is very industrial with lots of ugly industrial ships parked in front of the resort impacting the view. The food at the hotel is ok, but not great for the quality of resort that the Aman is. The people working at the hotel are superb. Really excellent service always with a smile and always saying yes

We had wonderful 5 Days here in Amankila manggis. Everything is just as it should be for a place in Bali. We loved it and the Staff is so kind and friendly. The location is at a nice place and the design, quality, sanity as well as functionality is just gorgeous. Of course it’s not a cheap place but worth it. Visiting it before season was a great decision as we want to have a calm and quiet place to relax. Yes of course the weather is mixed as it is during this period .. we still managed to get sunburn 😉
