Jungle mist or ocean breeze? Why choose when you can have both.
Bali is many things—mystical, magnetic, endlessly enchanting. And if you want to experience two of its most soulful sides, look no further than Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis. These sister properties are like yin and yang: one nestled in the jungle heartland, the other lounging by the ocean, and both absolutely dripping in effortless style.
Above the Treetops: Alila Ubud
Tucked into the emerald folds of Payangan, just outside Ubud, Alila Ubud is what happens when timeless design meets raw natural beauty. The resort feels like a secret hillside village—except with infinity pools and open-air bathtubs. Think jungle views, modern Balinese architecture, and that 25-meter infinity pool that’s always on your dreamscape Pinterest board.
Here, your stay is more than a getaway—it’s an immersion. Alila’s Leisure Concierge team doesn’t do cookie-cutter tours; they curate experiences: dance with local artists, taste-test your way through Balinese cuisine, or wander through village trails that feel straight out of a folktale. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword here either—Alila Ubud is EarthCheck Gold Certified and deeply connected to the local community.
By the Sea: Alila Manggis
Now shift gears to the east coast, where Alila Manggis plays it cool in the shade of coconut palms and the towering presence of Mount Agung. It’s serene, scenic, and the kind of place where time seems to slow down. Here, the days start with sunrise yoga and end with waves whispering outside your pavilion.
Each room faces the sea, whether you’re chilling on a ground-floor terrace or sinking into a daybed up on the balcony. This side of Bali is less tourist-trodden, more soul-soothing. Trek coastal paths, explore local markets, or just sip a cocktail at the Ocean Bar while the sky turns sherbet-pink.
Meals at Seasalt Restaurant pair the best of Bali and the West in a breezy beachfront setting, and the wellness vibes run strong with spa treatments that look out over the ocean and yoga sessions at the dreamy Surya Shala.
One Island, Two Dream Destinations
Together, Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis offer two poetic interpretations of Bali—each distinct, both unforgettable. Whether you’re craving lush jungle rituals or coastal calm, these escapes wrap you in style, soul, and just the right dose of magic.
Which Alila are you today: leaf-kissed and lifted in Ubud, or ocean-breezy and barefoot in Manggis? Either way, Bali’s waiting.
