With its idyllic setting on the Island of the Gods, Amandari is perfectly placed to offer an ambrosial culinary experience that showcases Bali’s cornucopia of seasonal produce and unique flavours. Our chefs handpick the freshest ingredients from Amandari’s own organic garden and local farms, and just-caught seafood arrives daily from the shores of the Indian Ocean. Savour authentic Balinese and Indonesian cuisine, as well as international dishes in The Restaurant, Terrace Bar and private Dining Balé, or enjoy private dining in the comfort of your Suite 24 hours a day.
Private Dining Balé
Perched right on the lip of the Ayung River Gorge, the open-sided Balé accommodates up to four guests for private breakfasts, picnic lunches and candlelit dinners.
As the island awakes, enjoy the dawn chorus with a stroll or hike through the rice paddies, then savour a delicious breakfast in the Dining Balé. Seemingly perched above the valley with your own bird’s eye views, sip freshly squeezed fruit juices, and tuck into warm-from-the-oven pastries as coffee scents the morning air.
During the evening, guests can enjoy the Megibung Balinese Feast. Inspired by the last King of Karangasem, the feast features delectable island dishes and a live dance performance.
In Sanskrit and Bahasa Indonesia, Purnama means full moon, complete, infinite, and perfect. The Balinese believe on this day, Chandra, the Moon God, showers his blessings and magic on earth by offering his light and reminding them of their own light within.
Every full moon, Amandari presents a special cultural and culinary experience combining Balinese dance and gamelan orchestra from the neighbouring Kedewatan Village with a curated menu showcasing Balinese favourites and imaginative dishes inspired by native ingredients and seasonal flavours.
Purnama feast date: 15 December.
