It’s an exciting day as Indonesia’s favorite top star, Bunga Citra Lestari, also known as BCL, tied the knot with Tiko Aryawardhana earlier today at Amankila – a luxurious coastline resort in Bali, Indonesia.
Being one of Indonesia’s five Aman properties, Amankila stands out as an original Aman Resort, gracing a mesmerizing hilltop overlooking the Lombok Strait. It’s no surprise that Bunga Citra Lestari selected this venue for her wedding. Now, let’s delve into some fun facts about Amankila Resort.
We’ve heard it is David Beckham’s favourite resort in Bali!
According to a reliable source, it appears that Amankila has not only captured the hearts of local residents but has also become a favorite resort for several Hollywood celebrities, including none other than David Beckham.
This hotel and resort hold a special place among David Beckham’s preferred accommodations on the Island of the Gods. The former world footballer went a step further, choosing Amankila as the staycation destination for his family during their Bali vacation back in 2007.
Amankila rests on a lush hillside beneath sacred Mount Agung
Mount Agung stands as Bali’s highest peak, presenting majestic views. With the resort nestled on the hillside beneath this sacred mountain, envision the wedding against such a stunning backdrop. It’s no surprise that Bunga Citra Lestari selected this resort for her special day.
Did you know that Mount Agung (Indonesian: Gunung Agung; Balinese: ᬕᬸᬦᬸᬂᬅᬕᬸᬂ) is an active volcano in Bali, Indonesia

The resort sprawls across an extensive expanse of private, velvety black volcanic sand
The black sands, a product of recurrent volcanic activity across the island, render the resort truly unique. A day spent on the black sand beach, with its panoramic views, ensures not only a few good times but also guarantees excellent content for your social media.
The rate starts from US $1000 per nighty
This hotel is unquestionably pricey, and if an Aman is beyond your budget, it might not be the right stretch. For those who can afford it, the cost is for tranquility and exclusivity rather than luxurious amenities.
All 34 suites at Amankila boast the same interior layout, with distinctions lying in their location, views, and exterior amenities. For instance, certain suites feature private pools.
Even the entry-level Garden Suites exceed expectations, but for an unparalleled experience, the Kilasari Suite, named after Amankila’s main temple, offers a delightful sea-view infinity pool. There’s no attempt to dazzle with high-tech extravagances; instead, luxury is embodied in the sense of having your own villa and private terrace. Rooms showcase sophisticated furniture with intricately inlaid coconut and shell, and ensuite bathrooms almost rival the sleeping quarters in size.
The two-bedroom Amankila Suite opens up to an expansive terrace with a private pool—a perfect fit for celebrity families, including, as the rumor has it, one very famous retired English soccer player David Beckham and his wife, a former Spice Girl – Posh Spice.
The honeymoon resort of Jaime Murray & Bernie Cahill
Not only David Beckham, but Jaime Murray and her husband Bernie Cahill also chose Amankila as their honeymoon destination.
The couple tied the knot in Bali back in 2014 after three years of dating. The wedding ceremony of the Devil’s Playground actress took place at one of the luxurious resorts in Ubud.
Following the nuptials, Jaime Murray and Bernie Cahill embarked on their honeymoon at Amankila Resort, offering breathtaking cliffside views and exotic seascape.
I’ve always been captivated by the love story of Bunga Citra Lestari and the late Asyraf Sinclair, who left us on February 18, 2020. Perhaps a new chapter in love is unfolding between Bunga Citra Lestari and Tiko.
And goodness, isn’t Amankila just a breathtaking destination waiting to be explored in Bali? Time to start saving up for that adventure.
Until then, congratulations, BCL!
