Based on some reviews on reputable channels, here are the highly-rated points of interest listed by our guests: the black sandy beach; spectacular location; stunning architecture; comfort; and outstanding service.

What is the atmosphere of your resort? What types of guests does it attract?

The stunning beachfront location and privacy of the villas attract mostly couples and honeymooners. However we do pay equal attention to families by providing larger villas: 3 and 5 bedroom residences. We also provide a spa menu and journeys for the little ones.

Culinary –- explore selection of authentic Indonesian and Balinese cuisine, some food are signature of the region and rarely found in common Indonesian restaurants.

Spa Alila –- it is great combination of signature alila treatments, hearty service and well trained therapists as well as outstanding architect and design interior.

Ten Bedroom Residence –- this residence has been a landmark to the resort as it is the largest villa within the resort in the entire island. The residence provides integrated five star boutique resort services and indeed a perfect venue for destination weddings or private events.

What is the best way for guests to "arrive in style" to your resort?

Simply pre-arrange your stay through the Personal Preference Menu which is sent by our reservation department along with the confirmation letter. There is nothing else to worry about as our experienced staff will make sure you have a private car pick up at the airport. We also download your favorite movies and music onto the Apple TV; book your spa treatments or romantic dinner before your plane lands in Bali.

Can you recommend other destinations/hotels in your country that your guests should consider combining into a trip along with your hotel/destination?

From east to west, south to central, indulge in not one, but a choice of two or more unique Bali experiences amid the luxury of Alila. Explore the wonders of East Bali at Alila Manggis, a secluded, stylish seaside resort set amidst a coconut grove, and nestled between the sea and Mount Agung, Bali's most sacred mountain. Alila Manggis is famed for its East Bali Cooking School and dive sites that capture the essence of the destination.

Escape to the enchanting hillside retreat of Alila Ubud, overlooking the Ayung River, yet located only minutes from the excitement of Ubud, Bali's artistic cultural center. Blending contemporary design and traditional Balinese architecture, the secluded courtyards, terraces and gardens create an intimate feeling like none other.

Enjoy the blissful heights of relaxation at Alila Villas Uluwatu along the southern coast, a spectacular clifftop retreat perched high above the Indian Ocean. Relish the tranquility, private space, spa pampering and divine cuisine, overlooking gorgeous cliff views and golden sunsets. With four unique resorts to choose from, there's more reason than ever to linger a while with Alila and experience the magic of Bali, filled with surprisingly different moments!

Guests combining a stay at any two or more Alila or Alila Villas resorts, with a minimum two-night stay in each resort, will enjoy complimentary transfers and the additional privilege of a designer picnic lunch served en route between the resorts accompanied by a personal butler.
