Two resorts. One island. A journey through culture, design, and the quietude of nature.
For travelers seeking a deeper connection with Bali beyond its usual tropes, Alila Hotels & Resorts presents a dual encounter with the island’s soul—through two distinct properties that reflect the brand’s signature blend of understated luxury, immersive experiences, and a thoughtful sense of place.
Set high above the Ayung River, nestled in the traditional village of Payangan, Alila Ubud is a sanctuary of stillness. Modeled after a hillside Balinese village, the 56 rooms and 18 villas seem to float above the jungle canopy, with terraces, balconies, and expansive decks offering panoramic views of the surrounding forest.
The resort’s 25-meter infinity pool, dramatically cantilevered over the valley, is a destination in itself—often hailed as one of the most photogenic pools in the world.
Yet, beyond its aesthetics, Alila Ubud invites guests to engage with the island’s cultural richness. From bespoke art and culinary tours to traditional dance performances and village walks, the Leisure Concierge team crafts highly personalized itineraries.
Dining at Plantation Restaurant brings the farm-to-table ethos to life, with locally sourced ingredients transformed into contemporary Balinese dishes. Sustainability is also at the heart of the resort, reflected in its long-standing EarthCheck Gold certification and commitment to community-based tourism.
Alila Manggis: Coastal Calm in Bali’s East
On the lesser-trodden eastern shores of the island, Alila Manggis offers a different kind of escape—serene, scenic, and utterly secluded. Between the ocean and the looming presence of Mount Agung, the resort is framed by coconut groves and features 55 rooms and suites arranged in traditional thatched-roof pavilions, each with uninterrupted sea views.
Ground-floor rooms offer private terraces, while upper-level balconies come with plush daybeds perfect for sunrise contemplation or an afternoon siesta.
