Accommodations

The resort’s rooms and suite villas stand above a ravine on stilts like tree houses. The world-renowned architectural firm Kerry Hill Architects makes use of traditional Balinese design, but it is transformed into modern geometry. Smooth plaster walls and concrete meet thatched roofs; terrazzo tiles meet gravel or crushed rock; wood meets glass.

The 56 Deluxe Rooms featured below are housed in 14 two-storey blocks designed to resemble a Balinese village. All rooms have panoramic views of the magical Ayung River and surrounding volcanoes.

The lower floor rooms (Deluxe - pictured below) feature individual garden terraces and a back courtyard with an open-air bathroom and shower. The upper floor rooms (Superior) feature a private balcony and unobstructed views.

There are four superb Ayung River Villas (pictured left) and four Garden Villas. The Ayung River Villas offer a spacious walk-around deck and are perched over the valley affording spectacular views of the Ayung River. The Garden Suites provide a private tropical garden and an outside bath surrounded by a lotus pond.

Dining

Towering coconut pillars and a traditional thatched roof lend a bright and open feel to the brasserie-open sytle restaurant. Executive Chef Stuart Blair artfully prepares Balinese and "healthy" natural cuisine as well as some of the finest International dishes available anywhere.

Soaring views are a feature of the welcoming bar. The atmospheric cabana serving Asian specialities overlooks the dramatic emerald-green pool that floats above the plunging valley.

Spa

The Mandara Spa at Alila Ubud comprises one double Deluxe Spa Villa, a double Spa Pavilion, a double Spa Suite, a dedicated Thai Massage Suite, two single Spa Suites, a Manicure and Pedicure Salon and Spa Reception.

The Spa Pavilion and Suites all feature open-air treatment areas and bathrooms with waterfall showers, while the Thai Suite offers air-conditioned comfort.

Local Area

Alila Ubud is a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat that sits high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley in Bali’s central foothills. The resort is located just minutes from Ubud, the island’s cultural heart.

Blending contemporary design and traditional Balinese architecture, the secluded courtyards, spacious terraces and private gardens create an intimate feeling like none other. It is also the birthplace of renowned Mandara Spas.

If you were to rank the 50 most beautiful hotel swimming pools in the world, then Alila Ubud would be right up there at the top (actually it is – see the cover photo left). Moving from the pool bar into the cool depths, the water’s surface seems to flow endlessly through the terraced jungle and reach up to the sky.
