One of the top hotels in Ubud, Alila Ubud has various exciting tours on offer featuring treks through the stunning local countryside away from the tourist crowds, which can be arranged by our Leisure Concierge.

Stay at our luxurious Ubud villa resort and discover exotic Ubud with its rich cultural heritage and history. For over a century, since becoming a Dutch protectorate in 1900 at its own request, Ubud has been a centre for traditional arts and culture. In the 1930s, when foreign artists were encouraged by the royal family to take up residence in the town, Ubud became a base for the likes of Walter Spies and Rudolph Bonnet, who were instrumental in promoting an understanding of Balinese art and cultural heritage worldwide. From the 1960s onwards, intrepid travellers began to arrive in earnest, drawn by its hive of creative energy. Since then, Ubud has developed into a world-class international destination while still maintaining its integrity as the centre of Balinese art and culture.

Located high above the Ayung River, Alila Ubud hotel has been laid out as a Balinese hillside village complete with its own community centre and pedestrian lanes. The resort’s rooms and villas stand above a ravine on stilts like tree houses and are set into the banks of the river valley.
