The rooms and villas overlook the long and colorful pool and deck at Amnaya Resort Kuta.
Amnaya Resort Kuta – Likable funky gem hidden from the traffic and crowds.
Far more appealing than other motel-style resorts, the distinctive mauve paint and wood-stained balconies are quite striking, and the limited number of rooms is pleasingly ‘un-resorty’. All rooms are spacious, and most face the elongated and narrow pool. Family Suites feature two of everything – bedrooms, bathrooms, and balconies – while villas are hidden behind walls, but still only five meters from the pool. Located along a tranquil path from the very busy road in Tuban, it’s only a short walk from the beach and Kuta. The Amnaya is also very convenient to the Discovery Mall and right behind the Waterbom waterpark (which does make the resort noisy in places).

- Handy to: Facilities at Kuta. Waterbom waterpark. Discovery Mall.

- Views: Many rooms and suites overlook the pool, while villas are secluded behind walls. But some suites face Waterbom waterpark, which is interesting but often noisy.

Amnaya Resort Kuta – Food and Drink
- Restaurant & Bar: The open-air, poolside setting is very pleasant at Sukun. Quirky furniture, attentive service, and extensive menu. Affordable traditional feasts also available.

Amnaya Resort Kuta – Rooms
- Room Types: Deluxe Room • Amnaya Room • Amnaya Room Pool Access • Junior Suite • Family Suite • Amnaya Suite • List of all Rooms
- Smoking Rooms: No smoking in or around the rooms. Ask the management about dedicated areas.
- Best Room: The Amnaya Suites are twice the size of the others, featuring separate living areas, gorgeous bathrooms, and balconies facing the Waterbom waterpark.
- For Families: Some rooms have connecting doors creating what are regarded as Family Suites.
Amnaya Resort Kuta – Local Transport
- Walking: Walkable to everything that Tuban and Kuta have to offer.
- Public Transport: In lieu of any public transport, the Kura-Kura Bus company links Tuban and Kuta with Ubud and the rest of southern Bali, but schedules are convoluted and routes confusing.
- Cars, Motorbikes, & Taxis: To go anywhere within southern Bali, hire metered taxis which are abundant, cheap, and comfortable. For longer distances, organize a chartered car with driver (for a negotiable fare) at the hotel. Driving a car is not recommended anywhere in Bali, and renting one in Tuban/Kuta is madness. Motorbikes are easy to rent and useful for getting around the backstreets of Tuban/Kuta/Legian, but not so elsewhere in southern Bali.
- Shuttle Bus: To reach another town outside of southern Bali, e.g. Ubud, buy a ticket at a travel agency for a shuttle bus. The main operator is Perama, with services leaving from its office on Jalan Legian street in Kuta.
