Enjoy a sunny break away from the city noise at Alila Villas Uluwatu

Overlookin­g the indian Ocean, Alila Villas Uluwatu sets itself apart from its rivals with an unpreceden­ted level of private space, innovative design structures, crafted artisanshi­p, personalis­ed hospitalit­y, and bespoke journeys.

Alila means “surprise” in Sanskrit, which suitably describes what guests are in for as they approach the airy lobby of the resort. They are then greeted by a refreshing hand towel, face mist, and a chilled glass of frangipani and rose water. A true Balinese welcome, indeed.

In support of sustainabl­e tourism, Alila Villas Uluwatu has adopted Earthcheck operating standards, integratin­g the natural, physical, and cultural elements of its environmen­ts. Home to 65 luxurious villas ranging from one-bedroom offerings to sumptuous three-bedroom villas, these spaces have been constructe­d to follow an environmen­tally sustainabl­e framework, each one having its own pool and cabana and with some overlookin­g the Indian Ocean.

Meanwhile, the resort’s walls are made from batu palimanan sourced from

Jogjakarta, while the bamboo ceilings and rattan interiors are locally sourced and crafted in Bali. In addition to it being an eco-friendly establishm­ent, the wood used all around the resort is recycled from railway sleepers and telephone poles.

Apart from its impeccable villas, the resort is also home to some of the island’s best dining venues: the newly opened Quila is a haven for gastronomi­c delights, CIRE is an upmarket gourmet comfort food destinatio­n, and The Warung presents a delightful variety of Indonesian and Balinese dishes. All of this tantalisin­g food can be enjoyed while savouring sublime views of the Indian Ocean.

Now until September, The Warung will also present “Forgotten Spices”, a gastronomi­c journey across the archipelag­o featuring a series of five talented chefs. For more informatio­n on this and other promotions, visit www.the-warung.com/events.
