Through Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis, travelers are invited to experience two distinct expressions of Bali: the mystical charm of its jungle heart and the tranquil rhythm of its eastern coast. Each property embodies Alila’s signature philosophy, where contemporary design, local connection, and heartfelt hospitality meet.
Perched above the lush Ayung River valley, Alila Ubud rests in the peaceful village of Payangan, just a short drive from the cultural hub of Ubud. Designed to evoke a traditional hillside village, the resort’s 56 rooms and 18 villas flow naturally into the landscape, blending thatched roofs, local materials, and open spaces that draw in the jungle breeze. Whether guests wake to the soft sounds of the forest from a garden terrace or watch the sun dip behind the treetops from a private balcony, every moment feels grounded in nature.
The resort’s 25-meter infinity pool, floating dramatically above the valley, has become one of Bali’s most celebrated sights, an emblem of serenity and understated beauty. But beyond its breathtaking views, Alila Ubud offers meaningful encounters through experiences curated by its Leisure Concierge. Guests can delve into Balinese art, join a cooking class inspired by local ingredients, or take a guided walk through nearby villages to meet the island’s artisans and farmers. At Plantation Restaurant, dining takes a farm-to-table approach, where seasonal produce and traditional recipes come together in inventive ways. With its EarthCheck Gold Certification, Alila Ubud also champions responsible tourism – honoring the land, community, and culture that define its home.
On the island’s eastern coast, Alila Manggis reveals another side of Bali – one that feels slower, gentler, and deeply rooted in simplicity. Nestled between the ocean and Mount Agung, this coastal retreat sits within a grove of coconut palms, where thatched pavilions open to the sea and the sound of waves sets the rhythm for each day. The resort’s 55 rooms and suites are arranged to frame panoramic ocean views, with ground-floor terraces and upper-level balconies offering perfect spots for quiet reflection or sunrise contemplation.
Here, the essence of East Bali unfolds through exploration. Guests can wander through nearby fishing villages, visit traditional markets, or trek along scenic coastal trails guided by the resort’s Leisure Concierge team. Seasalt Restaurant brings the taste of the ocean to the table, serving both Balinese and Western classics in a breezy open-air setting, while the Ocean Bar invites unhurried afternoons with cocktails and conversation. Wellness, too, takes on a coastal rhythm – with open-air yoga at the Surya Shala Pavilion and spa treatments overlooking the sea.
Together, Alila Ubud and Alila Manggis capture the island’s dual spirit – lush and soulful, calm and coastal. One offers connection to Bali’s creative pulse, the other to its meditative stillness. Whether surrounded by jungle greens or ocean blues, guests will find that each stay reflects not only Alila’s timeless elegance but also Bali’s enduring beauty in its purest, most authentic form.
