To brave the steps and be awarded by clifftop views across the Lombok Strait? Or stay close to the water’s edge nearer to the three-tier infinity pool? Choose to never leave any of the 31 stilted suites (not a difficult task at an Aman resort), or opt to spend the day at the resort beach club. Strike out and visit ancient crafts villages, or stay in and enjoy the traditional dance performances at the resort. At Amankila, there are simply no wrong choices. With the looming Mount Agung in the background, the all-suite resort is as awe-inspiring as they come.
