Alila Anji is thrilled to announce that it has been listed as one of the ‘Best Resorts of the Year’ in Condé Nast Traveler China’s prestigious Gold List 2019. This is the second year the resort has made it to the Gold List, which this year included a handpicked selection of only 16 hotels representing the very best in the Greater China region.
Surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of bamboo groves and white tea plantations, with a majestic view overlooking Tian Fu Lake, Alila Anji is an exceptional choice for an unforgettable holiday. What makes it even more so is the unique variety of crafted experiences it offers – for families, romantics, nature lovers as well as wellness and adventure seekers.
“To personally receive the award on behalf of the team at the recent Condé Nast awards ceremony was truly an achievement for our 3-year-young resort and China’s first Alila property. The Gold List not only represents the Oscars of the travel industry, but also reflects the voices of the readers on the definition of luxury travel, dedication to personalized service and constant artisanship. The entire team at Alila Anji works extremely hard to ensure every guest goes home with wonderful memories,” explained Jack Widagdo, General Manager of Alila Anji.

4-HANDS MASSAGE
Feel like royalty as you are pampered simultaneously by two therapists, their hands gliding over your body in a synchronized dance of gentle Balinese-style strokes to relieve muscle tension and restore balance. Short of time? Experience the deeply relaxing results of a two-hour treatment in one doubly indulgent hour. It’s beyond blissful!

The Day Spa Villa is designed as the ultimate couple’s hideaway, offering a spa indulgence for two in an intimate sanctuary of privacy with an amazing lake view. A blend of romance, relaxation and rejuvenation, it is the perfect experience to share with your special someone.

WELLNESS WEEK
In the first week of June, Alila Anji will be hosting a Wellness Week conducted by Shanghai-based sound healing and yoga master Ms. Chai, which invites you to focus on your wellbeing, clear your mind and restore balance. Experience profound relaxation as your mind and body attune to a renewed feeling of harmony, and the flow of vital energy is enhanced to promote self-healing.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Cycling or hiking in Anji‘s serene, green countryside and fresh clean air is both relaxing and invigorating. Simply put on some comfortable walking shoes or rent one of our mountain bikes, and bring along Alila Snacks To Go for your refreshment as you explore off the beaten track. Try our 11 fit-stop stations along the route for an extra workout while basking in the bamboo forest air. Or simply stop by at the resort’s own white tea plantations for photo opportunities. If you are game for more of a challenge, test your aim on Alila Anji’s very own archery range. There are even archery games for ‘little shooters’, making this a great activity the whole family can enjoy. For larger groups, why not try Alila Anji’s counter strike in the form of laser tag. Both outdoor and indoor options are available.
Whether on a quiet solo or couple’s retreat, or a fun family holiday, Alila Anji adds that surprisingly different element to elevate your stay.
