The goal of the Amanusa is serenity, and it couldn’t be more perfectly situated to achieve that goal. On one side of the resort lies the lush green tropical splendor of Bali, and on the other lies the clear, turquoise sea.

The resort provides the ultimate in Balinese hospitality, combined with western amenities, based on spiritual principles, in a beautiful setting. Where better to surrender to total relaxation?

The resort may feel as if it in another world, but shopping, dining and cultural diversions are nearby in the bougainvillea-lined streets of Nusa Dua. The airport is just 15 minutes away.

As an aid to total wellness, resident massage therapists offer spa treatments within the comfort and privacy of the guest’s private suites. As an aid to relaxation, a flawlessly manicured golf course sits like a gem between the resort and the blue, blue ocean.

The Terrace offers Thai and Indonesian cuisine in a beautiful setting with sea views, as well as Continental selections during the day. The Italian Restaurant is open for dinner in an elegant indoor setting, as well as an outdoor courtyard. Alfresco casual dining is available for lunch and the Beach Club offers sunrise breakfasts as well as candlelight barbeques.

The white-sand beach is one of Bali’s best and is fringed by a coral reef that provides a safe lagoon for swimming and seasonal water sports.

The resort has a Beach Club at the Bali Golf and Country Club. The Club features nine bale’ (pavilions) with loungers. Refreshments, showers and restrooms are available.

Massage therapy is an important part of total wellness. The therapists at Amanusa combine traditional Balinese and Swedish massage with acupressure. Reiki massage and reflexology are available, as are beauty treatments. You can have your massage in your suite, at the Spa or at one of the Beach Club bale’. Yum.

Bali is paradise for golfers. The three courses are totally unique. All are complementary for Amanusa guests. The first is the Bali Golf and Country Club and is right next to the resort in a scenic, seaside setting. It was designed by Robin Nelson and Rodney Wright, is 18 holes and named on of Asia’s top five courses. The second is the Nirwana Bali Golf Club. This course is at the Tabana Regency, on the west coast, about an hour’s drive from the resort. The course was designed by Greg Norman, and is famous for its visually dramatic setting. Golfers play through rice paddies, creeks, tropical forest, and gardens. The final course is about 1 hour away. The Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club is famous as one of the world’s most beautiful courses. The course was designed by Peter Thomson and Graham Wolveridge and is set in an extinct volcano.

The accommodations are thatched roof suites with four poster beds with mosquito netting. The luxurious baths have large sunken tubs surrounded by tropical foliage. Each suite has a flower laden outdoor shower. The private walled gardens are very romantic, and courtyard dining is offered. The terrace has a daybed with a canopy. Eight of the suites have a private pool.
