Bali Luxury Resorts - Alila Ubud Bali

THE RESORT

Alila Ubud Bali Resort 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.

Alila Ubud Bali Resort, which appears of float above the valley, featuring spectacular panoramic views, Balinese architecture and meandering garden-paths to create a magical world in which to experience the magic of "the island of the Gods".

DESIGN

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.

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 atmospheric Cabana overlooks a dramatic emerald green pool that floats above the plunging valley below, boasts spectacular views of the surrounding rice-terraces and valley. Squaring views are a feature of the welcoming bar. The extensive snack menu here includes an enticing range of noodles. In the evening the Cabana serves as a ideal venue for pre or post dinner drinks.
