Sustainability – The New Luxury at Alila Villas Uluwatu
Sustainability is all around for guests of Alila Villas Uluwatu. The EarthCheck Platinum- certified resort’s commitment to sustainability has only strengthened as it inspires a new generation of conscious travellers to not only stay but also grow their awareness and make a positive impact.
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and for us, it is the new luxury. We feel that the modern- day luxury traveller is looking for sustainability in travel and to contribute in some form or the other to the environment and the community,” said General Manager Hemal Jain.
Appreciate the resort’s stunning design, which blends naturally with Uluwatu’s dry savannah environment. Interiors seamlessly flow from inside to outside, maximising natural ventilation and views of the Indian Ocean. Lava rocks, which occur naturally in Uluwatu, serve as natural insulation for the buildings and, by absorbing the Bali heat, keep air-conditioning energy consumption to a minimum.
Alila Villas Uluwatu is Bali’s pioneer in substituting plastic-based amenities with biodegradable and compostable options. Here, guests quench their thirst with drinking water that is purified and stored in reusable glass bottles at an on-site water bottling plant. Guests can also learn about the resort’s Sustainability Lab, the heart of its zero-waste policy, which enables it to make zero contribution to the waste situation on the island.
Beyond its green initiatives, Alila Villas Uluwatu is invested in the development of the local community through its Gift to Empower offer. Five percent of guests’ villa rate per night will be gifted to R.O.L.E. Foundation, the resort’s non-profit partner working to break the poverty cycle by empowering women with skills training and business education. Enjoy daily breakfast and one three-course dinner for two people, and a visit to the foundation on a heart-warming journey into the community.
