Amandari, Sukawati

Travelers from the United States or Europe tend to fly via Singapore or Hong Kong. There are also domestic flights from the surrounding islands and ferry connections. Amandari and Amankila are an hour*s drive from the airport and Amanusa is 15 minutes away by complimentary transfer. The open-air lobby was designed after a wantilan, a village meeting place. The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river below is sacred land. Every six months for hundreds of years, Balinese have taken the path down to a pool of holy water. Just above this spring-fed pool sit three modest shrines and an ancient tiger carved into rock. Wireless broadband connections are now available in all resort accommodations and public areas.
