Alila Ubud

Tucked away in the verdant rice terraces that surround Ubud, the Alila has a truly enviable location in central Bali. Perfect for travellers in need of some R&R, the Alila Ubud is a peaceful retreat, ten kilometres outside Ubud, with great service and a beautiful setting.

A real highlight of the Alila is the glorious infinity pool, full-sized at 25 metres long, so you can swim lengths while overlooking the wonderfully lush countryside. The sun-loungers invite more sedentary activity, if swimming lengths sounds like too much hard work, and the spa offers a range of treatments, many of which can be enjoyed outdoors.

The traditionally designed rooms are refreshingly uncluttered and simple, while retaining a welcoming vibe and a natural look with exposed-stone walls and lots of polished wood. Each of the rooms and villas have sublime views across Bali’s volcanoes and the Ayung River.

Plantation Restaurant presents Asian, Balinese and French cuisines under a thatched roof, accompanied by their signature selection of seasonal infused vodkas, and the Alila’s wonderful views. If you fancy a poolside cocktail or a casual lunch without having to leave your sun-lounger, the Cabana team will be at hand throughout the day and into the evening.
