Of the three Aman resorts in Bali, the gorgeous Amankila is the most family-friendly. Located in one of Bali’s most traditional regencies, the secluded Karangasem location means you’re far removed from the masses.
The famed Aman service starts as soon as you step off the plane. A greeter is on hand to whisk you through the notoriously long immigration queues, the scene for many a mini-tantrum. The journey to Amankila is a 90-minute car ride in a vehicle with free WiFi, so an iPad will make the trip sail by.
With just 34 free standing suites nestled into the verdant greenery, you’ve got privacy in spades for you and your little ones. Neutral tones and natural materials are utilized for a rustic-glam feel amidst marble flooring and lofty ceilings.
he signature crowd pleaser is the three-tiered pool etched into the cliffside with stunning vistas over the Lombok Straits and will inspire squeals from little kids and grown up kids alike. Surrounded by black and white bales for lounging and eating, your whole holiday can be spent snoozing here, but the beach club is calling! A five minute walk or quick zip in a buggy down the hill will land you on a volcanic sand beach where kids can frolic in the sea under the watchful eyes of staff. There are also a host of water sports available.
The Aussie chef is renowned for pleasing the palates of the pickiest of eaters! Aside from the varied menu, dishes can be made upon request, including home-made baby food. Custom dining experiences with a wow factor are also on the cards here. Try the traditional satay evening in a private bale across from a peanut plantation. Oodles of fun with food on sticks!
Active families can opt for a heap of fun activities like visits to nearby temples and traditional villages with Aman staff to teach you all about Balinese culture. There is hiking, horse and elephant riding, rafting, Balinese cooking classes and more. A snorkeling boat cruise on the Aman XVI always has rave reviews from the young ones.

Those who want to recharge and are prepared to dig deep in that LV wallet…
Kids under 12 can stay with mom and dad for free, rollaways for kids over the age of 12 cost US$100 per night. Amankila offers 4 hours of complimentary babysitting so that M&D can get down to some private pampering in the spa suite or elsewhere… US$10 for every hour thereafter.
