Having now - I believe I've read - been to all of the Indonesian Amans, how would you rank them?
True that we have now visited all Indonesian Aman: Jiwo and Wana 11 years ago, Dari 3 years ago and Nusa and Kila now (plus Kila 11 years ago as well).
Ranking them overall I think would be impossible. They are all so lovely and different. Ranking on different criteria (rooms, pools, food etc.) could work but would not be fair since things might have changed (new chef etc.)
If I were to try, I would say that Jiwo is most spectacular design wise and has the best rooms, Nusa has the best beach, Kila the best pool(s) but Dari best private pools, Jiwo best private bale and Dari the best food. For activities I loved Kila this time and Dari, but the most memorable activity ever would still be the private sunrise trip to Borobudur with elephant ride on the way back when we were at Jiwo. Have to go back to Jiwo for more activities some time! Best private dinner would have to be dinner at beach at Kila many years ago (even more special than this years beach BBQ at Nusa this year - and it was our first ever dinner at a beach). At Wana I loved snorkelling and found it very special to sleep in a luxury tent (but since then this is not something just to be found there, of course). Service great at all, so not possible to decide on this.
