[2024 Bali Stay] Travel Guide for Alila Villas Uluwatu (Updated Dec)
Alila Uluwatu: A Must-Visit Hotel in Bali
📌How can you miss the luxury hotel on the cliffs of Uluwatu when in Bali? Alila Uluwatu, with its excellent design, is loved by many tourists and has become one of the must-visit hotels on the island. After years of longing, I finally had the chance to check it out.
📌Alila Uluwatu is located at the southernmost tip of Bali, featuring an all-villa design. It took nearly 1h to get there by taxi from the airport. Booked through Global Guests, since it's a villa reservation, there's no upgrade, but the service was great from the start. Upon sitting down, we were served drinks, snacks, and towels, and then taken to the villa by a small car, where the butler was already waiting at the door.
📌The villa is 290㎡, very spacious, with welcome gifts already arranged. There are both indoor and outdoor showers, with separate amenities for him/her. Outside, besides the lounge chairs, there's also a large sofa chair. The pool is not big but sufficient. It's cooler in the early morning and evening in June and July, and it's not cold to swim during the day.
📌The most exquisite part of the hotel is the infinity pool and the adjacent 'bird's nest'. As soon as you sit down, the pool staff lay out towels, bring a small basket with towels, drinking water, sunscreen, etc., and they're nice enough to help take photos. The only downside is that it's too sunny during the day, so be sure to do your sunscreen work in advance.
📌The 'bird's nest' has now been turned into a sunset bar, where many people come for afternoon tea and to watch the sunset in the afternoon. The weather is not hot, with a gentle breeze and the sound of the waves from the Indian Ocean below the cliff, it's incredibly pleasant. I could stay there all afternoon...
📌The hotel has two restaurants, one serving Western cuisine and the other Indonesian. Being in Indonesia, of course, you have to try the Indonesian food, which is very exquisite and tastes good. The service is also pretty good. The only thing is when asked whether to drink regular water or sparkling water, I chose sparkling water, and they actually charged for it, about 50rmb, which they should have mentioned was not free. If I knew it was charged, I would have ordered something else to drink!
📌Breakfast is at the Western restaurant, with the best views along the edge, so you have to get there early. Breakfast is entirely a la carte, and while there aren't many options, the taste is okay. Each table gets a large plate of bread, which easily fills you up.
The whole experience was great, you get what you pay for, and Alila Uluwatu is worth it, recommended!!

Its good to be home 🇮🇩
Visiting my home country, with a slight twist of staycation..

After from Andaz we moved to sleep at one of the best hotels owned by the Hyatt Group in Bali, namely Alila Villas Uluwatu
This hotel has been on my wishlist for a long time, since I found out about its Instagram account: an incredibly luxurious and beautiful resort, a very artistic design, a very stunning view and of course privacy is guaranteed because all the rooms are villas.
It is so luxurious and beautiful that it is suitable as a wedding venue, especially for the crazy rich because the cost for a wedding here for the venue alone can run out of 1 M alone, but even though the price is that expensive, it turns out that it is quite often bought out for wedding events. No wonder they can survive open continuously from the start of the pandemic while many hotels choose to temporarily close.
Enough of the introduction, proceed to the review, okay?
The road to the resort is quite small and winding, we were a little worried if we ran into other cars. Quite remote, all the way is only forest, fixed we decided not to go anywhere especially at night instead of looking for trouble
Next to savaya and apparently there is a shuttle car facility to go to savaya for those who want to clubbing
Entering the resort area after confirming with our security, we went straight to the parking area and were immediately attacked by a lot of monkeys
Assisted by the officer who drove the monkeys away, we continued to the lobby
As soon as you enter the lobby, you are immediately greeted with a very beautiful view of the combination of an ornamental pond, swimming pool and the Indian Ocean. So handsome!
The staff who greeted us were also very friendly, while serving welcome snacks and welcome drinks we were helped to check in.
As far as I remember, there is no deposit, only BF notices for children over 5 years old, there is an additional cost of 250 thousand
Then we were escorted by a buggy car to our villa One Bedroom Pool no 405

The hotel design is inspired by limestone cliffs and the blue sea, and references Bali's hundreds of years of local history, culture, and religious legends, from the Bronze Age animism to the Hindu Majapahit Empire, as well as Dutch decorative arts and contemporary design, resulting in this paradise-like art luxury hotel - the all-villa Alila Villas Uluwatu - the surrounding environment makes you feel as if you are at the edge of the world, with the cliff pool and restaurant surrounded by coastal views and endless sky and ocean views that are simply stunning!

You must stay at this hotel when you visit Bali!!!
🏡 Villa highlights:
The Alila Villas Uluwatu panoramic pool villa is "unreasonably" large!
The interior design is minimalist, with a super spacious open-plan layout, and the sunlight and sea view flow into every corner without obstruction.☀️
The private pool, outdoor shower, and bathtub all have sea views, so you can spend the whole day in your room without going out!✨
——————————————
🤔 Cons:
The so-called "panoramic sea view" is actually only a partial sea view, which may not meet the expectations of "picky people."
The hotel has been open for many years, and some details are slightly outdated, but the beauty of time is also unique.
🎯 Suitable for:
Those who like peace and luxury👑
Those who want to see the sea while lying down🌊

Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali - the cliffside infinity pool is stunning!
Alila Villas Uluwatu is located on the 100-meter-high Uluwatu cliff in southern Bali. With its unbeatable sea views, the area is home to many luxury hotels. The world's first resort infinity pool was created by the late legendary designer Kerry Hill at Alila Ubud. Since then, infinity pools have become a signature element of the Alila brand, influencing countless others. As the brand's global flagship, Alila Villas Uluwatu recreated the infinity pool, placing it on a 100-meter-high cliff. The sapphire-like pool perfectly embodies modern art luxury, redefining people's imagination of luxury resorts at the time.
The hotel's design is inspired by the pale limestone cliffs and blue sea, drawing from Bali's centuries-old history, culture, and religious legends, from the Bronze Age animism to the Hindu Majapahit Empire, Dutch Art Deco, and contemporary design. The result is a blue-and-white paradise-like art luxury hotel.
Alila Villas Uluwatu is an all-villa resort, with spacious rooms starting at 290 square meters, a major selling point for luxury hotels in Bali! The rooms feature both indoor and outdoor shower areas, with a preference for the outdoor shower area. The nearly four-meter-high limestone walls and adjustable shower curtains ensure privacy for the room and shower. The giant banana trees and flowing water pools make the shower area feel like a natural jungle.

Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali ~ The cliff sea view is so beautiful!
Our last stop on our two-month trip to Indonesia was Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali, located on the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, high on a cliff over 100 meters above the Indian Ocean. The surrounding environment makes you feel as if you are on the edge of the world, and the coastal scenery and endless sky and ocean views around the hotel are so beautiful!
The overall design of the hotel maintains and showcases the unique style of the original ecological environment. The landscape wall is designed using the local farmhouse wall-building technique, forming a terraced landscape with respect to the original terrain. The waterfall embedded in it shows two different flow changes, dry and wet, with the change of seasons. The local volcanic rock is cleverly designed as the heat insulation material for the top of the pavilion, while also serving as a natural medium for plant growth. The design is very clever!
The hotel has more than 60 villas, each of which is specially designed and built, with its own swimming pool and private cabin overlooking the Indian Ocean. The modern interior decoration combines natural elements and traditional Balinese style, perfect for a holiday. Immerse yourself in the simplicity and elegance of the villa, and let the gentle sea breeze flow through the villa courtyard. It's so comfortable!

Alila Uluwatu | Stunning cliffside ocean views at sunset.
🇮🇩 The first stop in Bali is Uluwatu. We chose the unique Alila Villas Uluwatu, which is my favorite hotel in Bali.
🌊 The most eye-catching part of the hotel is the birdcage over the 50-meter cliffside pool. The modern minimalist design extends the sense of space and visual experience. Whether it's the lobby that blends into nature, the popular birdcage by the sea, or the 50-meter cliffside infinity pool, every photo is stunning.
🌄 At sunset, enjoy the signature charcoal-grilled pork chops at the hotel's Indonesian restaurant, grab a couple of cocktails, and enjoy the beautiful ocean views from the cliffs of the Indian Ocean by the pool. It's a truly memorable moment.

Each villa comes with a private pool and panoramic ocean views, providing an unparalleled level of comfort and exclusivity.

For dining, the resort’s restaurant serves exquisite Balinese and international cuisine, but venturing to nearby beach clubs for a different vibe is highly recommended. Alila Uluwatu truly redefines luxury in Bali.

Alila Uluwatu Villa
Staying at the Alila Uluwatu Villa in Bali was an unforgettable and special experience. Located on the beautiful slopes overlooking the Indian Ocean in the southern part of Bali, this villa is one of the most luxurious and popular tourist destinations in the area.
When I arrived at the villa, my reception was excellent and unique. I was greeted with roses and a cold drink, and then escorted to my villa. The villa was elegantly and luxuriously designed, featuring a blend of modern design and traditional Balinese architecture.
The villa offers the highest level of comfort and luxurious details. There is a spacious and comfortable bedroom with a king-size bed and a cozy sitting area. There is also a luxurious bathroom equipped with high-quality toiletries. The villa also has a private terrace that offers a stunning view of the sea.
Moreover, the villas at Alila Uluwatu are ideally located close to many of Bali's attractions. Guests can explore the beautiful beaches of Uluwatu and visit the nearby Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple.
If you are looking for a luxurious and romantic experience in Bali, I recommend staying at the Alila Uluwatu Villa.

Alila Villas Uluwatu: The king of internet celebrities that has been popular for a decade
"The first time I saw this place, it was desolate, vast, and rough, completely different from the scenery in other parts of Bali. The sound of the wind on the cliffs and the sound of the waves are strong and powerful, while the hills covered with shrubs are quiet and peaceful."
Inspired by the local farmers' construction of terraced fields, designer Richard Hassell created a new design language that not only responds to the maximum extent to ecological protection but also elevates Alila's island resort aesthetics once again.
An internet celebrity that can be popular for a hundred years often ends up being called a classic. Alila Villas Uluwatu is such an example.

Wow! Little cuties, today I visited a breathtaking place—Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali! It's so so so so so beautiful here! Every corner, every inch of air is filled with an intoxicating aura! It's truly a piece of art crafted with heart!
First, let's take a look at the hotel's special room layout. My room was a luxury villa facing the ocean, about 120 square meters, and all the facilities made me feel incredibly happy and pleased! In this spacious and brightly decorated room, you'll find a bed as soft as silk and a super comfortable ocean-view sofa. Here, you can easily see the magnificent view of the entire Indian Ocean, making me want to sit in the room for a long time without moving.
Next, let's talk about the hotel's decor style. OMG! The decor here is just amazing! Romantic and full of exotic charm, every corner hides a unique artistic soul. From the embroidered pillows adorned with petals, the spacious and comfortable shower, to the mosquito nets and exquisitely carved furniture, every detail touched my heart.
Lastly, the environment here is worth mentioning. Wow oh oh! Here, you can enjoy unique spa massages, swim to your heart's content in a private pool, or even participate in various exciting outdoor activities! The cuisine here also made me linger, each dish is as delicate as the Little Prince, and every bite contains the chef's dedication!
Overall, this trip left a deep impression on me. The luxury and feeling here are very different, the room decor and environment are super amazing! Moreover, the service attitude here is also very good, making one feel warm and comfortable! If you want a perfect vacation just like mine, then don't miss out on this wonderful journey at Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali!

My stay at Alila Villas Uluwatu has been the most enjoyable hotel stay I have ever had. The hospitality is amazing, every single staff member is extremely friendly and accommodating and truly cares about the customer’s comfort. The villas are spacious, complete with all of the little details that make the stay worth it. TWO CLEANINGS PER DAY! There is an indoor shower with wall jets and a rain showerhead, and even an outdoor shower, which is amazing to experience. The huge bathtub is luxurious. The bed is comfortable and the day-bed is an amazing spot to nap or read.
The hotel grounds feel private and almost empty, even during high-occupancy. We didn’t have an issue getting a cabana or pool chair, or even a table at dinner. The main pool offers an expansive view of the ocean and friendly staff
The sunset cabana is awesome for getting drinks and snacks and taking in the view; we never had trouble getting a seat there either.
To top it off, there is even a really cool whiskey/cigar bar offering whiskeys from around the world and a tasty old fashioned.
If I lived closer to SE Asia, I would try to come here as often as possible. Thank you Alila staff for an amazing experience

Bali Star Wedding Venue Recommendation: Alila Hotel||
||. Alila Hotel is quite popular recently. Whether it's for weddings or vacations. The editor still actively recommends everyone to check in. The bird's nest style is a unique design in Bali and even the world. Taking pictures in the swimming pool is really beautiful. It's about half an hour's drive from the airport. The cliff sea view is really beautiful. There are also small bird's nest swimming pools, sunscreens, body lotions, and cool sprays in the villa... What are you waiting for?

I didn't expect that Wilber Pan also held it in this hotel in Bali!
I didn't expect that Wilber Pan also held it in this hotel in Bali!
This hotel is located in Uluwatu, Bali, named Alila!
Every room in this hotel is a separate villa with a swimming pool, quite large. Inside there is a bathroom, two dressing tables and sinks, and a bathtub, a massage bath, and an outdoor bath, where you can take a sun bath but be sure to pull the curtains above~
When you come to the hotel front desk, the service staff will let you sit down in the hotel lobby first, then help you take your passport to check in, and at the same time will give you a box of snacks and drinks. When you finish checking in and give you your passport, there is an extra bow tie ribbon on it, super exquisite and intimate.
Then the butler will help you carry your luggage to the villa first, and then take you up by electric car.
There are two restaurants inside, I ate one of them (the one by the infinity pool), it's not bad, the roasted broccoli is delicious.
After eating, you can go to the infinity pool to play and take pictures, swimming can go to the bird's nest there to order something to drink and watch the sunset🌅
Or even if you don't want to go out and stay in the villa is also very good, because there is also a swimming pool in the villa, and a small bird's nest where you can sit and watch the stars✨listen to music and drink
Finally, I really like their bathtub where you can take a bubble bath🛁 and a massage bath, super comfortable!
💰Although it's a bit expensive, I quite like it, staying for 2 or 3 days is a very good choice! And recently I found out that Wilber Pan also held his wedding here, so beautiful😍

Ultimate location for your special occasion
Although it’s been around more than 10 years, it’s still a go to in Bali for its view, service and villa

A winding road from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain top, foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter, may be too heavy. The interior of the fort is exquisite and unexpectedly there is an elevator. More than 50 rooms are located on the second to sixth floors, but we have only two suites on the sixth floor. Alila's toiletries have always been my favorite. Next time I am going to come here for a whole day, instead of sleeping for two days. There are few rooms, no one, there is a feeling of serving the world.
