What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The Amala undercuts that stereotype; these 22 villas and estate are serviced by butlers, which, it hardly needs to be said, is not exactly the norm around here.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Boutiques and cafes along Jalan Raya Seminyak are a short walk away, and the beach is fifteen minutes on foot.
The rooms
Wide French doors in the Pool Villas open onto walled courtyards with private six-meter swimming pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The central freshwater pool sits under frangipani trees, crossed by a timber bridge and bordered by a jet-pool.
The spa
Treatment suites open toward leafy garden walls, with stone bathtubs and therapies using Sensatia Botanicals skincare.
The gym
Treadmills and a stationary bike look out through glass doors into the tropical garden beside the pool.
Bamboo Restaurant
The open-air timber pavilion sits beside the pool, serving raw Indonesian dishes and fresh juices made with organic produce.
