Amandari, Bali, Indonesia

It was during a stay at the’Amangiri that we have completely fallen under the spell of the Aman chain of hotels. And the’Amandari of Bali is no exception to the rule: the Aman hotels are all prodigiously refined, luxurious, elegant, and the service is more than personalized. The establishment is designed like a Balinese village, and you are in the heart of nature. Exceptional locations play a very important role in the success of Aman hotels.

The suites are, of course, very spacious, decorated in a Balinese style, and all have their own private garden. Ultra bright and comfortable, they open widely onto the surrounding nature. We're falling for the suite with a pool, the «Pool Suite,» for more privacy and especially because you'll have a very hard time leaving your room. Larger suites and villas with multiple bedrooms are also available: the’Amandari Villa is a bit removed from the rest of the hotel, right in the heart of the rice paddies and has its own staff for service. A villa of no less than 1500 square meters designed for large... and wealthy families.

Staying at Amandari means forgetting time, your daily life, and even the fact that you have to leave. Don't force yourself to visit the surroundings if you simply aspire to relax: your hotel was designed for this and the staff trained to know how to be discreet while still knowing how to respond to your slightest needs. The 32-meter pool was designed to blend into the landscape: traditional music and dances are often offered in the evenings.

Beyond exceptional service, Aman hotels possess another quality: enabling their guests to embark on sublime excursions. For example, you can book a full day of sightseeing with a personal guide. The ideal way to discover Bali through these must-see sites, as well as other more hidden gems.

In a nutshell

  • The perfection of service within Aman hotels.
  • A 32-meter pool for your family's relaxation moments.
  • For large families, Aman designed the Amandari Villa.

Dine: Amandari Restaurant & Cafe

It is absolutely unlikely that you will want to leave your hotel during your stay. That's good, it's absolutely not necessary. Entrust all your meals to the Amandari's good care: favorite dish, local cuisine, breakfast in the middle of the day... everything is absolutely possible, even the most unimaginable (or almost). We love the view overlooking the pool and the nearby valley.

With the kids

You will most certainly want to stay and cocoon in your hotel. The children will love the pool, being able to eat at any time, but also the outings that can be organized upon request.

Inspiration

Shopping
L'Amandari has a boutique offering local handicrafts. You can also ask your guide to recommend potential traditional shops during your excursions.

Out for a walk
Let us guide you and enjoy an exceptional landscape. Ubud is considered the cultural center of Bali. Must-see sights include: the Monkey Forest, the Neka Museum, and numerous temples.

Zen
The Amandari Spa presents itself as THE ideal place to meet and discover what the word "zen" means. Treatments can also be enjoyed in your room, but we absolutely love the Spa setting. We particularly recommend the Mandi Lulur A traditional treatment starting with a massage, followed by a body mask and exfoliation, to conclude with a relaxing bath. A must-try at least once.

In the suitcase
Pack comfortable clothes for your excursions (pants, walking shoes). For the hotel, your swimsuit, sunglasses, and a sarong might be enough.
