With the opening of the ultra chic Alila Villas Soori in a secluded section of West Bali in December 2009, Alila Hotels and Resorts cements its position as Bali’s premier and most exciting hospitality company. With four stunning properties, situated in four very different parts of the island, no other hotel operator is able to offer more unique and exciting experiences, in distinct locations, at different levels of luxury, than the Singapore-based Alila Hotels and Resorts.

Alila has, in less than a decade, become a recognized and respected name on this idyllic Indonesian island. Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis, the company’s very first properties in Bali, were opened in 2001. Set amongst the greenery of the island’s most celebrated central village, Alila Ubud boasts what is probably the most famous and photographed infinity pool on the island. While Alila Ubud peeks out of the jungle, Alila Manggis lies lazily right along the shoreline in East Bali, serenading guests with the sounds of the sea.

Alila’s highest-end brand is Alila Villas, known for combining luxury and sustainability. Alila Villas Uluwatu, perched on a cliffside overlooking the ocean, opened its doors in June 2009. Alila Villas Soori, also under the Alila Villas brand, is Alila’s fourth resort in Bali—the most number of resorts from any single hospitality operator on the island.

The Alila properties are strategically located in four diverse regions of Bali, starting from the Central Bali to the East, West, and South coast. Alila Ubud sits high up on the edge of the Ayung River valley in Bali’s central foothills, just minutes from the island’s artistic and cultural centre of Ubud; the seaside Alila Manggis is sited in the relaxing, unspoiled East Bali that is home to wondrous dive sites. Perched upon an elevated plateau, Alila Villas Uluwatu is amongst the first resorts on the Bukit peninsula, which is surrounded by a seldom-experienced yet spectacular rocky Bali savannah landscape, only 15 minutes from Jimbaran Bay which is famous for the best beaches in South. Alila Villas Soori is located off the tourist trail in the Tabanan Regency in West Bali. Famous of Tanah Lot Temple, few have experienced the pristine black-sand beaches and sweeping fields of verdant rice terraces that are set against a dramatic backdrop of volcanic mountains.

From the various locations across Bali, Alila subscribes to responsible tourism in showcasing the different faces of Bali. Alila’s involvement with the local community allows it to have in-depth local knowledge to create meaningful destination experience for guests.

Let the leisure concierge at Alila Ubud cajole you to experience white-water rafting on the thrilling rapids of the Ayung River or embark on a cycling trip to Sukawati village at Ubud to witness a master puppet-maker at work. Over at Alila Manggis, the resort’s Jukung boat can take you straight from the beach to the nearby Blue Lagoon, a colourful reef teeming with curious marine life, for snorkeling or diving, or speed away to a secret hideaway on the volcanic sandy beach of Celagi to enjoy private moments.

Alila Villas Uluwatu offers a “Journey of Enlightenment”, affording privileged access to five of the holiest temples on Bali’s southern coast, which traditionally restrict visitors. While at Alila Villas Soori, you can go horse-riding along the beautiful black sand beach fronting the villas and explore the neighbouring village on horseback.

Alila resorts and the Alila Villas offer different stay experiences adapted to varied lifestyle options. For travelers wishing to experience more of Bali, combining the various Alila properties is the best way to explore the island. Prices for Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis start from USD 185++ per night and 155++ per night respectively, and prices for Alila Villas Uluwatu and Alila Villas Soori start from USD 725++ per night and USD 600++ per night respectively.
