Amanusa

Without doubt the most stunning property in Bali's arid Bukit Peninsula. The Amanusa has an enviable position overlooking the white sands of Nusa Dua and is conveniently located just 20 minutes from the airport and the shopping and entertainment areas of Jimbaran and Legian.

The hotel itself has just 35 luxurious suites, all with four-poster beds and round tables for private dining, a sunken indoor bath, outdoor shower, a garden courtyard and a terrace with a spacious canopied daybed. Room upgrades to a deluxe suite open up views of the expansive Indian Ocean or the adjacent golf course, and the pool suites have a large private pool. You can enjoy tennis on the private courts, try your hand at a number of water sports offered at the Beach Club which is on a private stretch of white sand beach, relax in the sun beside the ornate 30 metre pool (one of the best in Southeast Asia), while away the hours in one of the bales on the pristine beachfront or treat yourself to an authentic Balinese massage.
