For: A Different Pool Each Day
The revered Aman chain is justifiably known for the beauty of its pools, but the beachfront Amankila resort sets the bar especially high. With only 34 suites, Amankila boasts four pools: even at full occupancy, that’s a pool for every 17 people (although six of these suites have pools of their own—and those guests aren’t going anywhere!). The nearly 135-foot Beach Club pool, which rests within a coconut grove beside Lombok Strait, is a destination unto itself, but it’s the main pool that’s the showstopper: three tiers of blue-tiled heaven flow into one another and are flanked by coveted bales—covered cabanas with jumbo-sized daybeds inside.
