AMANUSA – NUSA DUA, BALI
The final Aman property that we stayed at is in Nusa Dua which
is on the Bukit Peninsula 20 minutes from Denpasar Airport and approximately 1
hour from Ubud where Amandari is. Amanusa means “peaceful isle” and it is
located in the Nusa Dua enclave which also has the Bali Golf and Country Club,
a brand new St. Regis Resort and a few other resorts.

| Amanusa Entry |
Amanusa was built 22 years ago. There are 35 villas, some with
private pools. The views overlooking the Indian Ocean are spectacular as is the
property. When we arrived, I noticed the giant teak sculpture in the entrance
area with the Hindu poem, the Ramayana carved into the teak. It is spectacular!
The resort offers it's own private beach club. The water is clear and the sand
is soft – what a great way to relax! There are 9 private bales and the staff is
always checking in to see if you want/need anything. Light meals and drinks are
readily available. The pool on property is absolutely beautiful and serene. Everywhere you look, you will find carved stone or amazing woodwork. The
bedrooms are quite large and the bathrooms are a big WOW with an outdoor
shower, separate indoor shower, soaking tub and dual sinks.

There are two restaurants on property specializing in Asian and
Italian cuisine. The setting in both locations is beautiful and relaxing. The
resort also has a wonderful spa, beautifully stocked boutique, bar and library.
Two areas close to Nusa Dua are Jimbaran and Simanyak both
within 30 minutes of the resort. Simanyak is the larger of the two with more
shopping and night life. The resort staff will help you make arrangements to
visit both and help with suggestions for preferred stores and restaurants.

| Enjoying the Cabana |
You could easily stay 3-4 nights here to help relax and
rejuvenate or longer if you are a golfer. I can understand why people adore
Aman properties. It's the more for more theory. Yes, your visit will be
expensive but if you value service, hotel rooms that offer the most wonderful
amenities and a sense of place, Aman is the answer to any “cookie cutter"
hotel experience.
The World is Our Playground!
