Alila Ubud, Bali

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.

Housed in a traditional, thatched pavilion with towering coconut pillars, the brasserie-style restaurant has an open plan and menu combining Asian and Mediterranean cuisine.

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.

In combination with ALiLA Manggis (Candi Dasa), ALiLA Ubud offer 4 and 6 night packages which include free room upgrades, exclusive gifts, activities, cocktails and a themed dinner at each resort.

Alila Ubud, in the traditional Balinese hill village of Payangan and on the banks of the mystical Ayung River, is just five kilometers from Bali's artistic centre of Ubud, the place where artists, painters, writers and musicians from around the world have long found inspiration.

Alila Ubud - Room Features.

The guest rooms feature large king-size beds, polished tiled floors and contemporary decor that blends well with the traditional Balinese architecture. To enhance the serenity there are no TVs, however, there is a reading library and TV room.

Alila Ubud rooms and villas stand above a ravine on stilts like tree houses and are set into the banks of the river valley. The world-renowned architectural firm Kerry Hill Architects makes use of traditional Balinese design, but transforming it into modern geometry. Smooth plaster walls and concrete meet thatched roofs; terrazzo tiles meet gravel or crushed rock; wood meets glass.

In front and at the bottom of a spreading flight of steps against tapering columns of river pebbles, the infinity edge pool area is the hotel's grandest space. 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.
