Amanusa is well sited for starting or ending a tour of Bali
as it is only 25 minutes south of Denpasar International Airport.
It is also an ideal base to explore the nearby beaches of Sanur,
Legian and Kuta, which have the most established shops and restaurants
on the island.
Amanusa (which means peaceful isle and opened
in 1992) enjoys a commanding position on a garden hillside in southern
Bali just above the Bali Golf and Country Club. Views run from the
adjacent Indian Ocean shoreline to sacred Mount Agung that dominates
the far horizon on a clear day.
The entrance to the lobby is a colonnaded open-air hall lined with
baskets of white tuberoses. Framing the foyer is a teak sculpture
illustrating scenes from the Ramayana, one of the two great epic
poems of India.
The Terrace offers sweeping views of Bali,
embracing the golf course, the Indian Ocean, Nusa Dua and the Bukit,
which is Balis southern peninsula. During the day it is open
for breakfast and lunch, serving a variety of Asian and Continental
dishes, while in the evenings it offers a range of Indonesian and
Thai dishes. Just below, the Restaurant specialises in Mediterranean
cuisine, which is served in an elegant room with high ceilings or
in the outdoor courtyard surrounded by flowering frangipani trees
which overlook the pool.
Swimming Pool: The large 24m blue pool is bordered by a bougainvillea-covered
trellis, flowering frangipani trees and a high paras-stone wall.
Amanusa has 35 thatched-roof suites set behind
foliage and mossy paras stone walls for added privacy and linked
by paved walkways. All the suites have 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 day bed. Deluxe Suites: These suites have extensive views of the golf
course or the Ocean. Pool Suites: Eight suites have private swimming pools and
a spacious terrace.
Boutique and Gallery: Balinese and Indonesian craft and
antiques as well as other gift items are available.
Tennis: Amanusa's two, all-weather tennis courts are floodlit for
evening play. Attendants are available as playing partners or ball
boys. A bale is located between the courts for shady breaks of iced
chrysanthemum tea and refreshments.
Massage and Beauty Treatments: Amanusa's resident masseuses mix
traditional Balinese massage with Swedish massage and acupressure.
Massage is available in the privacy of your suite, in the specially-designated
massage suite or on one of the Beach bales. Body treatments as well
as facials, pedicures and manicures are also available. Amanusa's
reiki master is on hand to redress any energy imbalances and a reflexologist
is available once a week.
