And it looks like they're renting 2 of the 4-bedroom villas too (with suites bookable individually?).
I am really confused.
I thought AZ's villa was a singular 10-bedroom villa?
AZ ‘ s villa is Revivo .
This is a separate entity & management . But Amanusa Villas guests / owners are able to use it like a ‘ central ‘ building .
Amanusa Villas are now either leased as one or with the option of suites bookable individually .
As Kagehitokiri has guessed it is the “ same owner / operator as nusa dua / golf course “ along with Shangri La which should be done within a couple of years at a stretch . This owner seems to have plans for the area which would not have been ideal for an Aman
Some staff will be at other Amans , few will move to the villas while many are being interviewed by the owner . Likely will be spread among the various ventures he has in Nusa Dua ( seen from Nusa ‘ s perch

hmm, unless i misremember, may have removed photo?
clearly 2 4BR that book (8) rooms, from descriptions
FlyerEC: + 8BR (instead of 8 amanusa pavilions)
which i guess makes sense as they say "main villa"
spa with 5 treatment rooms
restaurant seats 48
50m lap pool
SL is half owned by SL
reason to do last minute: get entire villa for price of room >
Revivo 4BRs & como shambhala estate Residences

, it was not the Nusa pool that you saw ..Villas 4 , 8 , 9 & 10 seem to be what we are talking about now with the same owner . 9 & 10 were the ZECHAs with 9 & 10 being completed only now . 4 ( has been in use by owner ) & 8 are also being “ finished “ for new resort .
The dining rooms of some of the villas can seat large parties . Was planning a reunion some time back & have been to these at different times . Will see if I can recce what was AZ ‘ s or surroundings .
At this time , Nusa Villas changes in operations are being discussed .
New prep , receiving areas , etcetera are being built / planned . Lots to do this February with CNY in midst of it all plus GMs / senior management on the move ..
There will be live updates from those involved for some time
Here goes , at some point , Amanusa will be become an
IHG - Kimpton ?There is also ongoing construction downhill , most of which will be a “ water park “ ..

according to previous post here kimpton will also include last empty beachfront space between st regis and mulia
i imagine location will become even less desirable for amanusa after no space for beach club, plus waterpark, etc

Amanusa
Kawasan Nusa Dua , Bali ID
Amanusa Villas - anticipating changes :) (29 Photos)
Amanusa
Room
The suites have generally better quality ‘ Furniture , Fixtures & Equipment ‘ as they are owned by individuals / families who make their own “ stamp “ .
Shown here are some suites of Villas 1 & 2 , views from them
Location
Quiet area of Nusa Dua !!
Some villas overlook the golf course .
It is just beyond where Amanusa was but seems further as the road is rather circuitous .
Service
Aman standards , of course !
As this is technically not a hotel , the full complement of hotel staff is not required . But to our delight , some Amanusa staff are now holding roles here for the necessary ones too . For instance , while there are no full therapists , the former Amanusa ones are now free lancers who come by on call .
Each villa has their own villa team including a chef .
We had 2 butlers who are on the premises at all times .
Obviously , there is no gallery or shop !
Dining
Your villa chef will prepare the meals .
Shane L is currently organising kitchen improvements for all villas plus adding new grills , etc - that was when this was first written in February ..
This however exciting is not happening as yet :( !
Many dining spots to choose from - just about anywhere outdoors and indoors including some airconditioned rooms :)
We had dinner in the open dining pavilion & chose to have breakfasts / brunches in the airconditioned library as my parents cannot do stairs ..
Upstairs main dining & living areas with a view
Villa 2
Our delicious & fresh BBQ dinner
Dining pavilion where we had the BBQ dinner as it was nearer the kitchen
Just too many to post !
Overall
Am thrilled that Nusa Villas are now available to rent / stay as suites without having to book the whole villa !
Cannot post under Nusa Villas though .. :(
Technically , possible to have all the common areas to yourselves if no one else is staying !
Though not all villas are for let ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 & 7 are ) , since some owners keep it for their “ sole “ stay , there are enough villas to go around .
We have seen all that are available .
Convenient to & from Wana too .
Looking forward to the changes to be completed including the wood fire pizza oven .
Go stay yourselves .
Check In
Was Amans pleasant & swift in suite by the Guest Service Manager
On arrival , we were welcomed by just about the whole team , seemed like it anyway , including the GM David G .
There were fewer at send off , being a major religious festival day & many staff returned to their villages . Plus , by then , we were the only villa occupied .
Each one is unique
Each villa & their suites have owners ‘ taste of art & there maybe “ extra “ furniture but all inline with Amans ‘ s style .
As mentioned , the villas have a range of a number of suites available , 4 to 6 , and the owner also has the option not to let out their master suite . This will not affect one ‘ s enjoyment of the villa .
Some villas have more greenery and landscaping also varies , also depending on topography :)
All beautiful !
