The thatched-roof suites within the resort are linked by paved walkways and set behind foliage and mossy paras stone walls for added privacy. If you are looking for that ‘special something’ in a holiday destination, this resort is a good choice.
Only 15 minutes drive from Bali’s international airport in Denpasar, Amanusa sets the relaxation process in motion swiftly, with the welcoming Amanusa staff taking care of every detail and need. Nearby, the bougainvillea-lined streets of Nusa Dua are dotted with boutiques and restaurants, and adventurous, cultural and spiritual pursuits are only a bike, walk, or chauffeur-driven car ride away.
