Bali Private Tour

Notwithstanding the new luxury resorts opening up throughout Bali, Amandari is still our iconic favorite. Overlooking the Ayung River Gorge (nice for river-rafting!) near the artist’s village of Ubud, the resort consists of 30 pavilion suites, many overlooking the adjacent lush,  rice fields. Similar to other Aman locations, the Amandari has an amazing spa, wonderful food featuring local delicacies, and a well-stocked library. Of special note is the spectacular 100 ft. infinity pool, set against the idyllic, green environment.

This luxury health retreat/resort is located in what we feel is among the most strikingly beautiful areas of the Ayung River Gorge. The Balinese-style accommodations are made up of 5 Residences, each with 4-5 suites and shared pool. In addition, the property includes more contemporary Estate Suites (5) and Villas (5) with private pools. All suites boast beautiful natural views and various locally-made Balinese fabrics. In addition to Como’s organic restaurant serving Balinese, Italian, and South Asian food, we very much enjoyed its Kudus House, set in a 150-year-old wooden Balinese structure and serving unique regional dishes. The estate’s comprehensive wellness activities include a hydrotherapy spa, nutritionist, a psychotherapist, as well as indoor and outdoor gym.

Set on an idyllic garden hillside overlooking the Indian Ocean and at the Bali National Golf Club, we feel the 35-suite Amanusa offers a nice beach option in contrast to your earlier stays at COMO Shambhala and Amandari. All suites come with four-post beds, walled courtyards (with outdoor showers!) and dining tables. Outdoor amenities include a striking 100 ft. freshwater pool, an 18 hole golf course, 24-hour floodlight tennis courts, and the Nusa Dua powdered white beach, just steps away. Although we also like the Amankila in eastern Bali, we think the beach here is much nicer. Despite being in the noisy, touristy Nusa Dua area, the setting at the Amanusa is very exclusive, quiet, and private. Unlike the Amandari, the Amanusa does offer TVs in the room.
