The Amandari Resort in Bali was designed by architect Peter Muler and opened in October 1989. It was envisioned as a high-end cultural and lifestyle experience located near the village of Kedawatan for guests to experience Balinese culture. Muler designed the resort to blend into the landscape like a traditional Balinese village, incorporating local materials and labor. The suites and facilities are designed with privacy and integration with nature in mind, featuring private gardens, outdoor living spaces, and views of the surrounding rice fields and river gorge.
