OW providing a relaxing and culturally rich circuit through Bali, are the award-winning Amanresorts trio - Amanusa, Amandari and Amankila. Amanusa (which means "peaceful isle") enjoys a commanding position atop a garden lookout in Bali's manicured Nusa Dua, just above the greens of the Bali Golf and Country Club. Views from here run undisturbed from the adjacent Indian Ocean shoreline to sacred Mount Agung.

Amanusa's 35 thatched-roof suites are set behind foliage and mossy paras stone walls. All suites feature four-poster beds, a sunken indoor bath and a romantic outdoor shower. There are eight pool suites. The resort centrepiece is the large emerald-blue pool bordered by bougainvillea trellises. A Beach Club caters for tans, candelit barbecues and watersports.

Just five minutes from the art hub of Ubud, in Central Bali, is Amandari ("peaceful spirits").

Its open-air lobby was designed after a wantilan, a village meeting place. The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river below is sacred land. Balinese-style stone gateways front Amandari's 30 walled, thatched-roof suites, each with a private garden courtyard. There is one premium villa too.

Amankila ("peaceful hill"), set on a cliffside with its signature three-tier pool, overlooks the Lombok Strait in East Bali. Below, is its private stretch of sand and beach club. Suites are elevated to take advantage of the spectacular views. The 34 free-standing suites feature alang alang roof thatching. Guests can enjoy reef snorkelling while exploring the coastline.

The Amanresorts Bali experience is effortless. Amanresorts will store or move your luggage on, as you like, arranging transfers and forwarding your accounts from resort to resort. Transfers between the three Bali resorts also offer the possibility of a genuine island experience.
